10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (June 29)
1. Who Will Be SmackDown's First New Champion?
Predicting the brand split is understandably hard, especially as WWE will likely throw a few curveballs our way - but if AJ Styles does indeed end up as a leading name on SmackDown, I fully believe he should be the blue brand's first new champion.
Styles has previously held the TNA and IWGP world titles, and although this success came (shockingly) late in his career, the Phenomenal One wouldn't at all look out of place with the WWE Championship (or equivalent) around his waist.
Hopefully WWE do take this course of action, for as brilliant and ageless as Styles seems, his 39 years of age mean that he won't be at the top of his game forever. It's increasingly looking like a case of now or never; hopefully WWE see sense and pick the former.
