No one in professional wrestling is more deserving of the current success he's obtained. It's been a long road, accompanied by countless miles to get where he is today. I couldn't be happier for AJ. The win at Backlash was huge for him. It signified a lifetime of dedication and determination for someone whom no one believed would ever make it to the WWE.
As AJ Styles moves forward and begins to defend his title, I would be tempted to suggest a face turn in his future. After all, the entire world loves Styles. With Raw having a heel as their marquee champion, plus the United States Champion, as well as the Intercontinental Champions are heels as well, there's a need for a strong babyface champion. The only exception to this idea would be the return of John Cena. If Cena returns before No Mercy, Styles will likely remain a heel, feuding with Cena.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
No matter which side of the fence he stands on, AJ Styles is going to be a long-term title holder. My only hope is that AJ doesn't get the underwhelming booking that Seth Rollins suffered through, after his big Wrestlemania win.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
