So, now we know that AJ Styles is a full-time member of the SmackDown roster. He has moved from RAW and should become the top heel of the Blue brand in due course of time, alongside King Corbin and Bray Wyatt, going forward.

We also know that as long as he was on RAW, he wouldn't be able to settle the score with Otis, a man who was on SmackDown. In case you missed it, it was AJ Styles who retrieved the briefcase at Money in the Bank briefcase but it was Otis who couldn't ascend the ladder (we saw a glimpse of it in the go-home episode of SmackDown before Money in the Bank), who ultimately caught the briefcase.

Now that both men are on SmackDown, I have no doubt that this is an angle that WWE will be pursuing, going forward. If there is a heel who can help Otis ascend to the next level, it certainly is The Phenomenal One.
