#2 AJ Styles returns to the WWE title picture on RAW, but what is his fate?

AJ Styles and Drew McIntyre

AJ Styles faced [Matt] Riddle and Keith Lee in a Sudden Death Triple Threat Match to determine Drew McIntyre's WWE title opponent at TLC. The match on RAW was a good one, but it was also somewhat predictable after the rumors of Braun Strowman's injury emerged.

As expected, AJ Styles was the man who emerged victoriously. While Keith Lee and Riddle would have been good opponents, neither of them have the World Championship caliber to challenge for RAW's main title just yet.

AJ Styles vs Drew McIntyre will be a blockbuster TLC match if it happens. What was interesting was that post-match on RAW, Styles interacted with The Miz and John Morrison - who were recurring characters in the episode.

Styles said that he was willing to help The Miz cash in his briefcase successfully. A few seconds later, a perplexed Miz asked why he was willing to help, to which Styles responded that it would be "easier" to defeat him for the WWE title than it would be to defeat McIntyre.

As good an opportunity as it is for AJ Styles, it looks like he will have to wait for a bit to get his hands on the WWE title for the third time.
