WWE did an angle last night on SmackDown where Daniel Bryan “fired” AJ Styles for attacking Shane McMahon, before Shane challenged Styles to a match at WrestleMania.
It seems like WWE will do an angle where Shane McMahon either re-hires Styles or challenges him to a match as a “free agent.”
There are rumors that Styles could end up moving to Raw after WrestleMania, with other roster moves and trades also expected after the PPV.
WWE.com has actually moved Styles to their “Alumni” section on their roster page.
