2. Will AJ Or Cena Stand Tall?

Theres an old rule about go-home episodes before a PPV that whoever is standing tall at the end of the program, hes going to lose the PPV match. While thats not an absolute truth, it has happened multiple times before. And it brings to mind the question of John Cena versus AJ Styles: Which one stands tall at the end of Raw?

If Cena is left in the center of the ring after chasing off the Club (possibly with some help), its a way to make John look strong heading into the PPV and making it a monumental accomplishment if Styles topples him. And if Styles stands tall, fans will wonder if that means that Cena will indeed bury AJ on PPV.

The truth is, theres no set rule to that. We could see one man stand tall at the end of Raw and go on to win the PPV match. If that happens, it would be a hell of move, either with Cena toppling another up-and-comer, or Styles defeating Cena to make a statement on behalf of the Club.
