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

#1. A move back to SmackDown Live

AJ Styles could move back to the blue brand

With the wildcard rule officially in action now, AJ Styles is allowed to back to SmackDown Live on particular occasions, despite being an official member of the red brand of Monday Night Raw.

However, following his defeat to Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank, Styles might be considering a permanent move back to the blue brand of SmackDown Live, where he could possibly step up as Kofi Kingston's next potential challenger. After all, for the two years, SmackDown Live has been the 'House That AJ Styles Built' and with Kingston at an all-time high following his successful title defense against Kevin Owens, maybe former WWE Champion might have a thing or two to say to the current champion of the company.

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

The possibilities of dream feuds on SmackDown Live are endless for AJ Styles, given that the likes of Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, Andrade, Roman Reigns and Kofi Kingston are all part of the SmackDown Live roster right now. Maybe, a move back to SD Live is for the best after all.
