Is it time for AJ Styles to drop the WWE title?

#2 Counterpoint: We haven’t seen a proper Styles vs. Bryan showdown yet

It would be sad to see Styles drop the title before a proper PPV defense against Daniel Bryan.

AJ Styles has fended off a variety of challengers under a variety of circumstances over the past ten months. To be fair, that does include a match with Daniel Bryan two nights after WrestleMania. While the bout was good and well worked, it was also quite consciously a TV match with no story behind it, largely set up for Shinsuke Nakamura to disrupt the proceedings.

While it’s unfortunate that that might be as much of a Styles vs. Bryan match as we get, that’s not a totally foregone conclusion. If the Styles reign stretches on, and particularly with so many PPVs and international shows on the calendar, it’s not out of the question at all that we could get another Styles-Bryan match that would afford these guys a solid twenty minutes-plus to work their magic and arrive at a real finish. That possibility is enough to make any hardcore fan want to see Styles carry on as champ a little longer.
