On the previous episode of RAW (read results here), we finally met the man who will be Seth Rollins' first challenger for the Universal Championship belt. And he is none other than the very heart and soul (and architect) of SmackDown Live, AJ Styles himself.
Now WWE is never a fan of contests between two babyfaces, or rather, hasn't been so in the past. If anything, the company always turns one of the two men heel, however beloved he may be to the WWE Universe.

And let's be honest, AJ Styles does need a change in character, all said and done. We all saw how much Daniel Bryan has benefited from going heel, and AJ Styles could certainly use a heel turn to maybe even form a faction in the current RAW roster.
Styles vs. Rollins could potentially even turn into the match of the year soon!
