3 Reasons why AJ Styles retained the WWE Championship at Hell in a Cell

#1 A possible heel turn?

It's been teased for weeks now ever since AJ Styles and Samoa Joe's feud turned personal but since Styles was the one who attacked Joe with a chair back at SummerSlam, it makes sense if AJ is able to finally turn heel for the first time in his WWE career.

Styles has held the WWE Championship for almost a year now and has defeated all on-comers including long-time rival Shinsuke Nakamura. If Daniel Bryan is the one who wins the number one contenders match in Australia, then it would make sense for Styles to go into that match as a heel and it would open him up to a number of other challengers.
