RAW Preview: Big heel turn after 2 years, Surprise MITB participant? (April 29, 2019)

#1 A Phenomenal Universal title challenger

AJ Styles has always been a world champion calibre superstar and when he came to WWE, he proved that even more so, winning the WWE Championship on two occasions. SmackDown Live may have been the house that AJ Styles built, but he's a RAW superstar now, and with that, his objective has changed to the Universal Championship.

The Phenomenal One wasted no time in getting right into the fray, first winning a triple threat match against Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio before beating Baron Corbin in the main event. There was a handshake between champion and challenger, but there was visible tension. If anything, AJ Styles teased a heel turn and that might come to fruition this week after 2 years when he potentially attacks Seth Rollins.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Either way, the two are going to meet in the ring for the first time ever and it's going to be nothing short of a blockbuster main event. Will The Beast Slayer prevail?
