Why Superstars wanted to join SmackDown over Monday Night RAW and NXT

WWE SmackDown was dubbed 'the land of opportunity' by Shane McMahon while he was the commissioner of the Blue brand. He did hand out a lot of opportunities but that was not the pull that saw many Superstars requesting a move to SmackDown.

Sporstkeeda's very won, Tom Colohue reports that several Superstars requested a move to SmackDown just to work with AJ Styles. He adds that Triple H and Vince McMahon were flooded with such requests during The Phenomenal One's first stint in the Blue brand.

A lot of people really want to work with AJ Styles. One of the reasons so many people wanted to move over to SmackDown when he was there was to work with AJ Styles. Triple H, Vince McMahon got a lot of requests to move to SmackDown when Styles was on that brand.

Styles is back on WWE SmackDown now and is a part of the Intercontinental Championship tournament. He defeated Shinsuke Nakamura on his return to the brand to advance in the tournament.

He is rumored to be the favorite to win the tournament and become the new Intercontinental Champion. WWE took the title away from Sami Zayn as he decided not to participate due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
