AJ Styles began his second run as a heel in WWE when he realigned with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to form The OC in the summer of 2019.

Previously, “The Phenomenal One” had become so popular during his 2016-17 heel run that WWE’s decision-makers were left with little choice but to turn him into a babyface after his win over Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 33.

Following a year-long reign with the WWE Championship as a good guy, Styles lost momentum in the months that followed, leading to his return to the dark side with his fellow Club members.

Speaking to Sporting News in 2019, Styles had an interesting take on his role as a heel and mentioned how it is important for him to help elevate babyface Superstars.

“I think change is good. We have to build Superstars and that’s what we’re trying to do. The best way to build a Superstar is you have to have good heels to do it. I think Anderson and Gallows and myself are more than capable of helping build Superstars. I’m not saying that we’ll always be the bad guys, but for right now, that is what is needed.”
