#4 AJ Styles (Face)
AJ Styles has done better than anyone could've possibly imagined as a heel on SmackDown Live.
The former WWE Champion has made an outstanding impact since arriving in the WWE at the 2016 Royal Rumble, and he's surprised a lot of people when you consider that everyone was expecting him to be a babyface. He was for a while, but it was indeed as a heel champion that he really thrived.
But now it's time to turn the tables once again. Styles works brilliantly in both roles, but we've seen an extended run with him as a heel, it’s time for him to turn face now.
SmackDown needs some more top level babyfaces and if we can execute a number of the other changes on this list, then Styles could go on to literally be the "face that runs the place".
Speaking of which, let's talk about a man who has been heavily intertwined with AJ over the last few months.
