This is my hail-mary prediction, one I don't have the most faith in, and one I kinda expect to not go as projected, but still, what's prognostication without the odd shot in the dark? Styles' vow that he would do "anything and everything it takes" to knock off Reigns for the title seems like a pretty swift way of indicating a heel turn, embracing help from The Club.

Styles may be ailing at the moment, but Reigns is running past his expiration date. Ratings are dragging the floor, Vince is allegedly losing faith in Reigns, and you have John Cena due back the week after the pay-per-view. Cena vs. The Club may not be the most desirable feud, but Cena's certainly going to be fresher than Reigns is. What more do you do with Reigns?
