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

Conclusion: It’s time

It's time for Styles to drop the title, and Joe is the perfect guy to beat him.

AJ Styles is truly world class performer, and I hope this isn’t the last time he’s in a world title picture in WWE. However, his current reign feels stale, and his program with Samoa Joe offers an outstanding opportunity for The Phenomenal One to pass the torch to another hard working talent who can continue to do the title justice bell-to-bell with great matches in the ring.

If Styles carries the title into the winter, the odds are he’ll be dropping it to The Miz or Randy Orton. Miz could be fun for adding title stakes to the blow off his feud with Daniel Bryan (perhaps at WrestleMania 35) and yet the idea of The Miz holding the WWE Championship still doesn’t feel quite right after his original flop reign. Orton is the even less savory option. As much as he’s looked motivated since his latest turn, he’s permanently stale in a world champion’s role and hopefully won’t suck the WWE Championship down into yet another blah chapter.
