Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles for the WWE Heavyweight Championship. Really looking forward to this match at WWE Payback. I think the WWE has done a great job so far building this feud heading into WWE Payback. There are so many variables going into this match (which always means the WWE is doing their job). When first hearing AJ Styles would be taking on Roman for the WWE Heavyweight Title, I was happy but immediately knew Reigns would retain after winning the title from Triple H at WrestleMania 32. Now with the inclusion of Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows in the angle, it adds a bit of intrigue here.
What is going to be intriguing about Sunday’s main event is what happens with AJ Styles and Anderson/Gallows. The WWE and Finn Balor have been teasing a possible Bullet Club faction for the past couple months, will we see one form on Sunday??? Will Anderson and Gallows turn on Styles? I don’t see AJ turning heel yet because he is doing so well as a babyface, so I can the duo turning on him. Will we see the WWE main roster debut of Finn Balor, possibly joining Gallows and Anderson which has been speculated for months? Or will we simply see Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows help AJ Styles to the title win???
If I am being realistic here, I think there is a very low chance of AJ winning the title on Sunday. I predict that something is going to happen that will have him lose his title opportunity. Either Anderson and Gallows get Styles disqualified in his match by attacking Reigns, or they attack both of them leading to Gallows and Anderson vs Reigns and Styles moving forward.
A wildcard would be Finn Balor joining them and laying out Reigns and Styles during the match, starting a new faction and proving that they are ready to take over the WWE.
Another wildcard would be Roman Reigns turning heel by joining Anderson and Gallows as the new leader of the Bullet Club. This would officially turn Reigns Heel and send the wrestling world into a frenzy. It would be shades of Hulk Hogan turning heel and joining Kevin Nash and Scott Hall to form the NWO back in the day……Let’s be honest, this will likely not happen.
Let me know how you see the match between Roman Reigns and AJ Styles going on Sunday. Do you like any of these scenarios? If not leave us a comment and fantasy book for us what you want to happen!
Ill be okay with any situation that plays out as long as Reigns beats AJ Styles. Reigns doing a full heel turn would be so epic tho’. Grown men already hate him so it would be fitting for him.
