Now this is interesting.

AJ Styles has beaten nearly everyone over on SmackDown, so it only made sense that the Phenomenal One made his move over the Raw Monday night, joining a roster where he will likely have several fresh matchups.

Styles partnered with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins to defeat Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre in a fun six-man tag match that featured a flurry of finishers at the end, capped off by a Styles Phenomenal Forearm.

There’s a very good chance we’ll see AJ getting some top-tier matchups in the coming weeks and months, such as Rollins, Finn Balor, Reigns and others, assuming they all stay put on Raw. Considering how Styles had owned the blue brand for two-plus years, this was a no-brainer for WWE.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
