Despite the cheers of the crowd and his cult popularity, AJ Styles as WWE Champion would have to be a heel. That's the direction of the booking with The Club, they are shady bad guys who are reminiscent of the nWo.

It is possible that it will be the opposite of Reigns' duality, so Styles as Champion will be loved by the IWC section of the crowd but despised by the casual audience who are into the traditional superheroes.

As part of that, Styles would win the title by nefarious means. The Club, possibly with Finn Balor joining, could be the option WWE take to get the title off Reigns and onto The Phenomenal One. Styles would then relish in his devilish ascension to the top.
