WWE SmackDown heavyweight champion AJ Styles has proven his worth and Vince McMahon has every reason to be happy these days. The word out is that the “Phenomenal One” will move to Raw after Wrestlemania 33, a move that could once again revive failed “Bullet Club” plans.
Styles is a proven star, seeing his long tenure in the wrestling industry. He is currently hooked on a storyline involving Dean Ambrose and James Elsworth though all that could take a new swerve soon. Regardless, rumors have it that the “Phenomenal One” will eventually end up in a storyline involving the Undertaker, Forbes reported.
There is no timetable on when that iconic feud will come into play for now. The Undertaker has yet to fully recover from hip surgery, spotted carrying a slight limp as mentioned in a previous post.
Wrestlemania 33 is still about four months away, more than enough time for the Undertaker to get back into shape. But more interesting is what lies ahead after that WWE extravaganza in Orlando, Florida.
Vince McMahon has become such a fan of Styles that the WWE CEO is reportedly planning to move him to Raw. This will reportedly happen after Wrestlemania 33, Wrestling News World reported. It remains to be seen how the creative team will make the transition.
Assuming the move of Styles is ironed out, the next thing many want to know is the reason behind it. Raw seems filled with stars at the moment with Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Chris Jericho and the potential return of Finn Balor.
A logical move could see the reunion of the “Bullet Club”. Styles had an erratic run with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson before the brand split though the trio could once again reunite. If so, the obvious target would be the WWE tag team titles currently held by the “New Day”.
Gallows and Anderson have been trying to get hold of the tag team titles though the dreaded “Freebird” rule has snuffed all their attempts. With Styles in the picture, the numbers games could be evened out.
