According to combat sports journalist Dave Meltzer, WWE wrestler AJ Styles who is assigned to the company’s Smackdown live brand, will reportedly be making a switch to the other promotion RAW. Meltzer quoted that the move will reportedly take place in the company's 2017 annual draft. This comes after reports suggested that the 'phenomenal one' excelled and surpassed chairman Vince Mcmahon’s expectations inside and outside the ring on a weekly basis and in merchandise sales.
