#1 AJ Styles turns heel and reforms The Club for good

Time for The Club to wreak havoc once again
So, yeah, I think we all can somewhat agree with the fact that AJ Styles' run as a babyface has turned his character a bit stale and boring, to say the least. And if you recall, back in 2016 when Styles first turned heel by attacking John Cena and forming The Club, he instantly became one of the most loved and over superstars among the WWE Universe.

During his run with NJPW, Styles was also known billed as the "leader" of the Bullet Club and exactly proved why he is one of the finest heels' of all-time, as he became a two-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion thanks to classic Bullet Club shenanigans that helped 'The Phenomenal One' make history in the Land of The Rising Sun as well.
Styles' initial run as a heel in WWE was surely successful and having him reform The Club will not only bring freshness to his character but will also help The Good Brothers, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows get some much-needed TV time.
If The Club is to indeed reform on SmackDown Live, then every single superstar on the blue brand could be in for a torrid time and we could also witness the trio face-off against the likes of Sanity, New Day, or even the newly formed trio of ShowBar.
