AJ Styles is one of those performers that the crowd wholeheartedly roots for, irrespective of whether he's a heel or a babyface. He was in a furious feud with Shane McMahon leading up to WrestleMania because he felt that he had been wronged with regard to a Championship rematch.

Following the classic that ensued at WrestleMania, AJ Styles and Shane McMahon would meet in the middle of the ring on SmackDown Live. AJ Styles would stretch his hand out and shake Shane McMahon's, in a mark of respect. In doing so, he would turn babyface.

This was a fantastic development considering that he's been the biggest star in the company ever since. He gets the biggest reaction in the current roster, and it made no sense to have him as a heel.

Styles is one of those performers who cannot have a bad night. Every time he steps into the ring, the match that unfolds is generally beyond awesome. He is the true embodiment of the moniker that best describes him: 'phenomenal'.
