5 Heel Turns We Could See Very Soon Indeed

#4 AJ Styles

WWE may actually want Styles as a heel against Daniel Bryan

I know what you're all thinking right now. Why should WWE turn AJ Styles, who's the most popular babyface on SmackDown Live, heel? I am only saying this because he is scheduled to face Daniel Bryan at Crown Jewel for the WWE Championship. And WWE is hardly ever known to book a babyface vs. babyface program for a title.

Why would they want to turn Styles and not Bryan then?, you quite rightfully ask. I think that the only reason for the same is that AJ Styles has been the reigning and defending champion for quite some time now. There are those in the WWE Universe who may have become tired of his reign already.

Having him turn heel allows him to feud with not only Bryan, but also other babyfaces like Jeff Hardy leading into WrestleMania. With Rey Mysterio coming into the brand, it also allows for a potential dream match.
