AJ Styles' move to the Raw roster was a logical progression. It just made perfect sense for him as he's done all that he needed to do on SmackDown Live; he's been the champion for more than a year. He's defended the title admirably and was easily the biggest ambassador for SmackDown for a long time.
To add to it, people just adored him wherever he went because of which his title run was never really subject to any bad rep. Now as he moves to Raw it begins his journey with a completely fresh slate for him.
There's not much he's done on Raw yet and what needs to be seen is how he goes about it. Will it be the jump straight into the title picture or are we looking at a steady climb up the ladder for him? Either way, AJ's return to Raw does bring in the opportunity to have some really great feuds that could be coming our way. Let's have a look at a few of them.
#4 Seth Rollins
With Roman Reigns out of the picture, there's no question who the "Top Dog" at Raw is. Seth Rollins is the Universal Champion, arguably the biggest prize in WWE right now. That makes him the guy who would have a mark on his back all the time.
With AJ Styles, an A-Lister in his own right coming to Raw, sooner or later there is going to be a tussle for the biggest prize on the brand, and it would be interesting to see how two of the top performers go about it. Will we see either of them switching sides and turning heel? We can't say that something like this is out of question.
#3 Drew McIntyre
This is arguably one of the more interesting feuds that could take place on Raw. Drew McIntyre is the young up and comer who plays the heel character to perfection while AJ Styles is the established veteran who has seen it all and done it all. Drew is expected by many to be the next big thing and to really lead the roster once he gets the push.
AJ, on the other hand, is already the big thing. He's got his push and he's shown what he's capable of. A clash between these two would cause fireworks because of its not only a stylistic clash, but also it's a clash between one of the biggest faces versus the biggest heel in WWE. It would also bring a semblance of freshness to the storyline as well as the two haven't really squared up against each other before.
#2 Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman hasn't really had a great last few months in WWE. Yes, he has been thrashing people around and throwing them off the stage. Yes, he has won the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. But then you have to ask, what else has he done against the sharp end of the pecking order?
The answer to that is "nothing". He hasn't been in the scheme of things for a while now and it is going to be a bit disconcerting for him as well. Braun is still a big draw, though. and there's going to be a time and a place when he is going to come up against the Phenomenal One.
Whether at that time Braun is the heel or AJ is, the match could be another one of those David vs Goliaths and would really catch a lot of eyeballs.
#1 Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley hasn't really had the best of runs since he returned to the WWE. He was a wrecking machine when he left WWE, but his current avatar is anything but that. He's not imposing anymore. He's turned heel and has been bending over in front of the live audience and doing things which we didn't really expect from him.
He's lost to Finn Balor recently and lost his Intercontinental title and just recently an interview of him surfaced where he talked about leaving WWE for other pastures. For someone as gifted and imposing as Bobby, it does seem like he gets underused a tad too much.
A feud against AJ would do him a world of good and bring him back under some spotlight which has been taken away from him recently because of all that his character has done. It doesn't matter whether he takes part as a heel or a face, a match against AJ would bring the best out of him and could kickstart his jump to the main event.
