WWE Money in the Bank 2019: 4 Ways AJ Styles Could Win The Universal Title
![How could Styles become the WWE Universal Champion at the event?](https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/04/acc6e-15566255979996-800.jpg?w=500)
The one thing that made WWE interesting in the last few weeks was the fact that AJ Styles had moved to the red brand for the first time since 2016. This was something that many saw coming for quite a while now, as Styles' journey on Smackdown Live had come to an end many months ago.
However, many did not expect to see Styles in the main event picture so soon, as the potential matchup of Styles vs Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship would be better saved for a pay-per-view like Summerslam, but WWE is clearly bringing out the big guns in an effort to raise ratings.
Nevertheless, here we are witnessing Styles and Rollins tear each other apart as each week of Raw goes by, and it goes without saying while this programme has its flaws, it still might be the most entertaining thing on Raw at the moment. So today we will look at the ways AJ Styles could win the title, as this is a possibility.many have to start considering.
#4 Throwback To Backlash 2016

Can you recall the days when AJ Styles was the biggest star in TNA, and everyone thought that the man would retire from the sport as an indie legend? But no one expected "The Phenomenal One" to end up in the WWE, as every wrestling fan knew that indie stars just don't make it in the land of giants.
However, WWE saw something in Styles that made them gravitate towards this man in 2016, and the rest is history, as Styles went on to win multiple titles in his quest to be the face that runs the place.
So, at Money in the Bank, it is a rational possibility that Styles wins the Universal Title via his Backlash 2016 antics. How ironic would it be if WWE does book this finish, as Styles low-blowing another member of the Shield to become World Champion would truly be poetic?
Furthermore, Styles as a heel could be the wakeup call Raw needs right now, as Raw is desperate for a superstar to lead it into the future.
