10 Rivalries That Will Define WWE In 2018

A relatively short while ago, the idea of TNA stars AJ Styles and Bobby Roode sharing one of the major WWE feuds of the year would have seemed fanciful - but here we are in the crazy world of 2017.

For this to happen, you imagine Roode would need to first burn his bridges with the crowd, who have so far been steadfast in their support of The Glorious One since his promotion to the main roster a couple of months ago.

That shouldn't be hard to accomplish, though. While plenty charismatic, the former NXT Champion has always seemed more natural as a bad guy, cutting arrogant, self-entitled promos and practising a slower, more methodical style between the ropes.

A feud with AJ is unlikely to materialise in time for WrestleMania, where the likes of Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Randy Orton will all stand between Roode and a place in the world title scene, but in the long-term it looks almost certain. The Phenomenal One, after all, runs SmackDown Live.
