Cena Returns And Has A New Heel Foe

John Cena made his return to Raw on Monday. He was confronted by AJ Styles. Anderson & Gallows then came out. Next thing you know, AJ attacks Cena and has rejoined The Club. He is now an official heel.

If it was the WWE's plan the whole time for AJ to break up with his buddies just so they could pull off this swerve, it was a good move. If the WWE just had no idea what to do and went back and forth, they at least did something that excited wrestling fans for at least a little while.

A sense of doom then set in for many fans. Looking at how some fans are reacting, they feel Cena will bury AJ Styles. I think they are overreacting. Kevin Owens lost a feud to Cena last year. He went on to be treated pretty well since then. Seth Rollins lost the United States Championship back to John Cena. Rollins has not been buried. John Cena then took time off a little while after that and has not won a feud since. AJ Styles will be fine, whether he wins this feud or not.

The only way The Club could be featured properly is with the main spotlight. That means working with the centerpiece. John Cena may not be the current centerpiece anymore, but working with him is about the same as working with Roman Reigns. This will be good for the group. This will help them look impactful, especially now that the storyline about whether or not AJ Styles will turn has been put to rest. Just let the group look strong and look strong against a credible opponent.

I still feel like AJ Styles has not really broken out to his full potential. Will a heel turn and embracing leading a stable really help him? He needs storylines to help showcase some personality. It seems like all his feuds since debuting have been pretty routine for a guy like him. His first feud is against a WWE veteran. He moves on to a title feud against the new top star of the company. He moves on to a feud with the previous centerpiece of the company. Throughout it all, it seems like the story has always just been either putting over that fans like him or basing it off of his stuff before the WWE. Where's the character development? I mean more than just turning him heel. That will help him to get over with the wider audience. A depush to the midcard might not be the worst thing in the world for him. Getting as over as you can is more important than winning as many titles as you can. Even then, a midcard title run would not be bad for AJ Styles.
