5 reasons why AJ Styles abandoned Seth Rollins on Raw

#1 A slow burn towards an eventual mega turn

You know it is coming!

Styles has shown his true intentions when it comes to the Universal Title and Seth Rollins. He respects the champion, but certainly doesn't want that to come between his eventual goal.

Styles abandoning Rollins is the first of multiple steps that would lead to The Phenomenal One turning into a full-fledged heel. We might see Styles turn on Rollins and kick off a dastardly attack on the champion on next week's Monday Night Raw. Or maybe the two Superstars forget what happened tonight and embrace, with Rollins beating AJ to retain the title at the PPV.

This leads to Styles turning heel on Rollins and destroying him to end the show, with a slight possibility of Drew McIntyre cashing in his contract on an unconscious Rollins, if he actually wins the briefcase earlier in the night.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
