The AJ Styles vs Roman Reigns feud has been very entertaining and intriguing, especially with the emergence of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. AJ has been playing the babyface, and does not want the help of the former Bullet Club members, which has hurt him in the last couple weeks.

At Extreme Rules, AJ will challenge Roman Reigns again, and will come close to becoming champion. A scenario which sees (after a brutal 30 minute match) both The Usos and Gallows/Anderson involved, AJ Styles hits Reigns with a Styles Clash and goes for the pin.

1, 2... and the lights go out!

Finn Balor's music hits, and the Demon is at the top of the ramp! Styles is now up in the ring and stares at Balor at the top of the ramp, which leads to the distraction that Reigns needs to win the match and retain. Extreme Rules goes off the air with AJ Styles in the ring, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson at ringside, and Finn Balor at the top of the ramp leaving us with so many unanswered questions.

In the weeks to come, we see a Balor (Bullet) Club reunion with Finn as a heel, and Gallows and Anderson attacking AJ for not listening to them. To add a bigger twist, this 3-on-1 advantage by the Balor Club will lead to AJ getting some unexpected help.

We may see some former TNA World Champions come up from NXT and be at the side of AJ Styles. Possibly Samoa Joe, the current NXT Champion, and the man who defeated Balor for the title? Lets not forget about Austin Aries, Eric Young, or even Booby Roode, all of who were former TNA World Champions and are tied to NXT currently.

Imagine the possibilities of this feud!
