#3 Potential future feuds

Could The Monster Among Men feud with Styles in the future?

As mentioned in the previous slides, feuds will open up for AJ Styles regardless of if he wins the Intercontinental title or not. Should he square off with old foe Daniel Bryan, the two men could enter into another entertaining program over a title. Irrespective of whether Styles wins or loses, the two men could carry on with their angle for a month or two.

That would be just one feud. Styles could feud with any other participant from the tournament such as Jeff Hardy or Sheamus. He could even square off with Otis who is extremely hot right now. Styles has never captured the Universal Championship either so that could also be a target of his following his return to SmackDown.

He and Braun Strowman have never had a title feud as the Monster Among Men was mainly on RAW while Styles was a part of SmackDown. The two changed shows once more during last year's WWE Draft. The two have never faced off with each other over an extended period of time. That would be an enticing feud down the line should Strowman keep hold of his title for the next three or four months.

And then there's The Fiend. John Cena had beaten Styles for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble in 2017 which was followed by Bray Wyatt winning the title at Elimination Chamber. It was Wyatt's first big title win on the main roster but it was also short-lived. Regardless of the title, Styles and the Fiend would be a pairing worthy of the main event of any PPV. Simply put, there are many possibilities for The Phenomenal One on Friday nights.
