Bengaluru, Feb 18: AJ Styles has lost the WWE championship at the Royal Rumble PPV to John Cena.
After then, he had competed in the Elimination Chamber match to a failed attempt. He was further added to a number one contender's battle royal that will take place, next week.
This would be a blockbuster match for the WWE universe and the creative is planning to book this feud from this week's Smackdown.
This is why Styles was the one to be added to the battle royal as the very first one. According to the reports of cagesidesetas.com, this match will be creating a rift between the Phenomenal One and the Smackdown commissioner, going forward.
On the other hand, Styles will be complaining to the Smackdown show-runners that he's never got the one-on-one opportunity for regaining his title. This would help to build the storyline for Wrestlemania.
The speculations also suggest that even after the grandest show is over, a plethora of bookings will be in store for him. It was earlier stated that Vince McMahon is happy with the way Styles has worked on Smackdown.
Only time will tell whether this move would be smart for WWE or not. There were many occasions in the past when a top Smackdown roster superstar was lost after getting drafted to Raw. Hopefully, this time it will not be the same.
