#5 Finally forming a villainous stable with Finn Balor
It's been a long, long time since A.J. Styles has portrayed the bad guy on WWE television. The former WWE Champion has been an influential babyface on the main roster and continues to be one of the top merchandise sellers in the entire industry.
While it's understandable why Vince McMahon continues to propel him as a white-meat good guy, a possible heel turn in the future could only make things compelling heading into the summer.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
A superstar that would genuinely benefit from a potential A.J. Styles' heel turn is none other than Finn Balor. Considering that the company has been endorsing the end of The Shield, the Chairman of the Board certainly needs another monstrous stable to run the show.
Since both Finn Balor and A.J. Styles have been part of wrestling's most successful stable in the 21st century, aligning them could see SmackDown Live becoming the most engaging television in the entire industry.
Furthermore, a decision of this stature would see them gravitate more eyes to the product, with Finn Balor eventually becoming a major star on the main roster.
