What if AJ Styles turns heel on Raw?

#4 A Universal Championship reign

AJ Styles has captured a number of titles in WWE. Could the Universal title be next?

AJ Styles held the WWE Championship for over a year from late 2016 to 2017, putting on strong in-ring performances even as SmackDown and the WWE title took a clear backseat to Raw and the Universal Championship. With the momentum of a new heel turn on a new brand, Styles could readily be situated for a fresh push on top of Raw.

While his aerial arsenal does make him fan friendly, his technical expertise, including his use of the calf crusher, also set him up to be an imposing heel presence at the top of the card, too.

What’s more, Styles recently negotiated a new contract. In his early forties, it feels like now or never to push this top-shelf talent to his fullest before his body starts to deteriorate. In his heel role, Styles could justify a prolonged program opposite Seth Rollins, besides being a fighting champion against a largely fresh slate of other face challengers.
