1. AJ Styles Loses When Karl Anderson And Luke Gallows Double Cross Him

There's so much intrigue for the Roman Reigns-AJ Styles WWE Championship match, particularly what role Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows will play. JBL keeps pointing out the Bullet Club conspiracy in broad, overt fashion ("I told you they were working together!") that you can see through it as a reverse psychology swerve. In other words, we know that Anderson and Gallows are probably not working with Styles.

That doesn't mean they'll be aligning with Reigns, though. Instead, I'd expect a good face-vs-face match between Styles and Reigns, with Styles' former allies trying to interfere, being admonished by Styles for doing so, and then both of them costing him the match out of spite. Whether that would open the door for Finn Balor to join them as "the third man" remains a mystery.
