AJ Styles conquered the entire world before getting his break in the WWE and now that he's here, he's hell-bent on showing the entire world that he is indeed the "face that runs the place," as well as all those other clever one-liners.
As the top heel in the company, Styles is thriving and has successfully helped lead Smackdown into what many fans feel to be the current top spot, when it comes to the Raw vs. Smackdown battle. Once Styles reverts back to a babyface, his stock will only rise.

Since the brand-split and since becoming World Champion, AJ has been on fire, despite being split from his Club brothers, Anderson and Gallows. Survivor Series will be a big platform in which some of the near future will be determined, by the results of the pay-per-view.
If there is only one champion in the WWE that I would feel most confident in loading the company on their back, it would definitely be The Phenomenal AJ Styles.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
