3 reasons why Seth Rollins Vs AJ Styles at WWE Money in the Bank could be a bad idea

It is official. On the latest episode of RAW, AJ Styles overcame the odds and stood over five other Superstars to become the #1 contender for Seth Rollins' newly won Universal Championship at Money in the Bank 2019.

The Phenomenal one pinned Samoa Joe in the opening match of the night and proceeded to defeat Baron Corbin in the main event to become the number one contender.

Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles has been one of the biggest dream matches for the WWE fans. Since the brand split, both of these Superstars have been the backbone of their respective brands.

Rollins carried RAW whereas AJ was the cornerstone of SmackDown LIVE's success. Both of these Superstars were the workhorses in their respective brands. Rollins had an amazing run with the Intercontinental title last year whereas AJ Styles was the WWE Champion for more than a year.

However, the currently scheduled Universal title clash between the two is not one of the greatest decisions made by WWE. On this list, we will take a look at a few reasons why Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles at Money in the Bank 2019 is a bad idea.

#3 This match deserved a better stage

Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles is a dream match. It should not have been a title bout during a filler PPV. With SummerSlam 2019 around the corner, WWE should have waited at least until then to pull the trigger on this epic clash.

Even though WWE has been treating Money in the Bank as the fifth biggest PPV of the year, it is still vastly overshadowed by the big four, especially since it comes in between WrestleMania and SummerSlam.

#2 AJ Styles should have had a mid-card feud on RAW

AJ Styles is one of the best performers in the world. However, he has been in the main event title picture for around one and a half year now. After winning the WWE title from Jinder Mahal in November 2017 on a United Kingdom episode of SmackDown LIVE, the Phenomenal One had been in the title picture until Elimination Chamber 2019.

For a large part of this period, Styles was the WWE Champion. However, Styles still got three more opportunities at the title after losing the title to Daniel Bryan - at TLC 2018, at Royal Rumble 2019, and at Elimination Chamber 2019.

Although Styles has performed brilliantly throughout this period, WWE fans have a tendency to turn on Superstars who get continuous opportunities. Thus this move may cause some fans to turn on WWE's most popular babyface.

#1 The match would be wasted with a predictable outcome

Seth Rollins has just defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. Rollins' first Universal title defense will be at Money in the Bank 2019 against AJ Styles. WWE will not be keen on taking the title off the Architect so soon, especially since RAW has only two major babyfaces, and both of them are going against each other at Money in the Bank.

The night would not end with AJ Styles winning the title. That one thing is certain. This is the primordial reason why WWE should have pulled the trigger on this rivalry once Seth Rollins had some successful title defenses under his belt.

That way the clash would become a bit more unpredictable and the WWE Universe would be a bit more invested in this rivalry.

Currently, the only thing that could alter the result is the Money in the Bank briefcase.
