WWE RAW: 5 Superstars almost guaranteed to become Universal Champion in 2019

#1 AJ Styles

I genuinely feel like AJ Styles has done all that he can on SmackDown Live for the time being. He really needs to shift to RAW after WrestleMania to keep his character fresh and still relevant. Well, the thing is that if he does shift to RAW, he'll be in the main event picture straight away. He's been a main eventer through his time on the blue brand.

And therefore, I can absolutely imagine him as the Universal Champion later this year. AJ Styles hasn't faced the likes of Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley and McIntyre in WWE and they could all be fresh matches for the legend. And he's a proven commodity that Vince McMahon believes in wholeheartedly.

At the same time, I want to hear what you have to say. Do you think one or more of these men will be Universal Champion later this year?
