AJ Styles Avoids Superstar Shuffle as WWE Establishes Him as Face of SmackDown
The WWE Superstar
Shake-up has come and gone, and in its wake, it has left the rosters of
Raw and SmackDown nearly unrecognizable. For all of the transactions
that occurred, the most newsworthy item to come out of the two-night
television event was the Superstar who did not switch brands: AJ Styles.
The
Phenomenal One was heavily rumored to be on the move to Raw. After
guiding SmackDown through the first eight months of the brand extension,
Styles would be shifted to Raw, where he would thrive at the top of the
card.
Or so it was expected.
As
the April 10 episode of Raw came to a close, it became apparent Styles
was staying put. After months spent as WWE champion and in many ways the
face of the blue brand, he would continue serving as its franchise
star.
It was the best decision WWE Creative could have made.
The Best in the World
In
an industry rife with talented professional wrestlers, AJ Styles is the
best in the world at what he does. Chris Jericho may use that line as a
catchphrase, but it is Styles who embodies it. An extraordinary in-ring
performer, he can wow audiences with his aerial assault, pick an
opponent apart with mat-based submission acumen or generate sympathy
through his selling of his opponent's offense.
There
are numerous performers of similar backgrounds who possess all of those
abilities, though. What sets Styles apart from every one of his peers
is his ability to deliver a superb match with any Superstar of any
style.
