10 Things WWE Must Do This Summer
5. Turn AJ Styles Babyface
AJ Styles was a colossus for WWE in 2016, and his consistency didn't go unnoticed by fans. Cheered wildly whenever he appears, the so-called villain has been forced to work hard in order to remain even somewhat heel.
Perhaps this point could coincide with a turn to the dark side for someone like Dean Ambrose, a move that would instantly reinvigorate the 'Lunatic Fringe' and stop him from sliding further into the mid card pack on SmackDown. Dean's drab comedic babyface schtick is played out now, he needs to become a vicious character.
Both Ambrose and AJ Styles have feuded before, but placing them on opposite sides of the fence would provide a fresh feel. Better yet, the opportunity also exists to try a double turn on pay-per-view or SmackDown itself, instantly ensuring that the blue brand has a pair of red-hot, motivated characters to work with.
People adore Styles to the point that the guy himself has acknowledged such adulation during interviews, so why not give fans what they want and let them cheer for a veteran who's easy to admire?
