Sk's Daily Rumor Round-Up: Why Undertaker's gimmick change was cancelled

#4 WWE's original plans for AJ Styles

AJ Styles is in the position where he belongs!

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE initially had AJ Styles penciled in as an upper mid-carder when the former Bullet Club member initially signed with the company.

However, Vince McMahon eventually made Styles the anchor of SmackDown Live as he was so impressed with the former Impact Wrestling standout's work and popularity with the fans. (H/T: Ringside News)

“The only reason AJ Styles got the push that he did was because the crowd reacted to him. He was not geared towards doing anything this big. That was never the plan when they got him. It wasn’t like to bury him but the idea of him being a world champion that was certainly not in the plans. But the crowd went for him really big.”
