5 things that could happen after AJ Styles' attack on Vince McMahon

This week's episode of SmackDown Live was pre-taped last week. WWE tried their best to avoid spoilers, but the social media didn't let them do this. However, there were still some exciting things left to cover.

During the ending of this week’s show, Vince McMahon called AJ Styles to his office and asked him to reveal his real identity.

Styles then listed all the things he has accomplished in the company. Vince asked him why he didn't wrestle during the show and why Bryan is dominating in the house that AJ Styles has built.

Vince then said that he and Styles have an animal hidden inside, begging to come out. The chairman asked him to show who the “real” AJ Styles is, and unleash the animal.

He then slapped Styles, and then got attacked by the former champ.

Fans from all around the world are now questioning what this segment will lead to?

Here are 5 things that could happen after Styles' attack on Vince McMahon.

#5 AJ Styles wins the Royal Rumble match and feuds against The Authority

Over the past few months, WWE has been getting a lot of heat from the fans for not doing what they want. A few weeks ago, the McMahon family came to Raw and announced that from now on they will do exactly what the fans want.

AJ Styles’ winning the Royal Rumble could be a part of that plan. Styles has now attacked Vince McMahon and revealed that he is all set to unleash his real side.

He could now win next year’s Royal Rumble match to start a feud with The Authority. He could choose Daniel Bryan as his opponent.

I know that we have already seen a feud between these two superstars, and another program involving these two could easily bore the fans.

However, we should not forget that currently Roman Reigns is not in the company, and now Styles is the biggest superstar.

Bryan recently had a character change, and now he is the “new” Daniel Bryan.

If he and Bryan are going to feud again, then Styles could win the Rumble match.

However, to make things more interesting, WWE could make Bryan a new Authority figure, and this will entertain everyone. Fans have always liked a Face vs Authority storyline, and the same could happen this time as well.

A more exciting way to start his rivalry against The Authority is to give the WWE Championship to another wrestler.

#4 Heel turn

When AJ Styles made his way to the WWE, he was a fantastic heel. He feuded with many top babyface wrestlers and entertained everyone with his work.

However, the company wanted him to be a face, and this is why he had to end his reign as a heel.

For the past few months, Styles has done a lot of great things as a face. He wrestled in multiple high-class matches, feuded with many top heels, and took responsibility for SmackDown Live.

However, at some point it felt like Styles should do something new. Seeing him as a face is amazing, but watching the same thing, again and again, could bore anyone.

So maybe the WWE is about to make AJ Styles a heel. And his attack on Vince McMahon is an indication.

A heel AJ Styles seems unlikely at the moment, considering the fact that he is the biggest face on the show right now.

#3 He becomes the “new” AJ Styles

We have already seen a character change in Daniel Bryan’s character. He has now become the “new” Daniel Bryan. He once was a prominent face, but now has become a heel.

Things are getting more interesting on SmackDown Live now.

A lot of new things are happening on the show, and this is what makes us watch it. This attack could mean that AJ Styles is getting a change in his character.

I previously talked about how this attack could lead to a heel turn, but this time I'm talking about something else.

A character change doesn’t always mean a face or heel turn. Styles could still get a significant character change without turning heel.

He could still unleash his more aggressive style as a babyface wrestler.

This means that whoever in the WWE points fingers at him will get the same treatment from Styles as Vince got.

This could be a great change in his character, as the fans also like to see aggressive style wrestling in the ring.

#2 Reunion of The Club

The Club is one of the best tag teams in the world. This group consists of three wrestlers: AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows.

These three wrestlers entertained everyone in NJPW, ROH, and even in the WWE. However, for the past few months, Styles has been working alone as a singles superstar.

Reuniting The Club will allow the WWE to show new things every week. It might not be the best idea to shake things up, but is definitely a way to change things.

AJ Styles has worked in a team many times before, and it’s safe to say that he will have no problem in working as a tag team again.

The Club could then feud with teams like The Usos or Sanity. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows are very talented wrestlers in the WWE, and fans will be happy to see them working with Styles.

#1 Moves to Monday Night Raw

An attack on the chairman will definitely get one into trouble. This could happen to Styles as well. Vince could punish him by firing him from SmackDown.

But if this happens, then what will Styles do?

In the previous slide, I discussed how AJ Styles could now win the Royal Rumble and start his feud against an Authority figure. However, we have already seen many matches between these superstars, and it’s likely that a repetition of this feud will get the fans exhausted.

This could be avoided easily if Styles returns to the Royal Rumble, wins it, and challenges Lesnar instead of Daniel Bryan. The Universal Champion is currently scheduled to face Braun Strowman at Royal Rumble.

If we assume that Brock Lesnar will retain his championship, then Styles could be a great opponent for him. They both faced each other at Survivor Series 2017 and provided an excellent match. Styles is a legitimate superstar, and could easily win the feud against Brock Lesnar.

This way he will not only have a feud against Lesnar, but will also return to Monday Night Raw.
