4 Possible directions for AJ Styles after Money in the Bank 2019

#3. A fresh new feud

AJ Styles challenging for the Universal Championship at Money in the Bank was definitely amazing, considering this was the very first time 'The Phenomenal One' stepped into the ring with Seth Rollins.

However, if you look deep into it, Styles challenging for Rollins' Universal Championship in his very first feud on Raw definitely did feel a bit rushed. I mean if you were going to have someone of Styles' caliber lose in his first feud on Raw, then why have this certain storyline in the first place?

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

For his first feud on Raw, Styles could've easily gone head-to-head with another top star from the brand and having him face-off against Rollins at some point down the line, would've been equally amazing (and who knows maybe even having Styles dethrone Rollins wouldn't have been so bad after all).

Nevertheless, what's done is done and now having Styles shift his focus towards someone like Roman Reigns (with whom 'The Phenomenal One' has a lot of history with), Bobby Lashley, or even the rumored feud with Drew McIntyre will be fine in order for the former WWE Champion to get back on track after this recent loss.
