AJ Styles vs. Seth Rollins have always been a dream match that finally happened at Money in the Bank PPV event. WWE Raw has started delivering the feud just after these two arrived under one roof following Superstar Shakeup. Originally, we anticipated getting this match in a bigger event like Summerslam or Wrestlemania. But WWE preponed the rivalry where AJ Styles had the advantage in the earlier weeks.

As seen on WWE Raw, AJ Styles knocked off a couple of opponents to demand this match for the Universal title at Money in the Bank. During the contract signing, he put the champion through a table to gain upper-hand in a fight. The following week, he left Seth Rollins high-and-dry during a match causing to digest a loss against Baron Corbin. It led Rollins to get irate on his opponent.

As you can see, AJ Styles had the utmost advantage while walking into Money in the Bank 2019. He had nothing to lose in the first-hand that made him the most dangerous in this match. On the other hand, Seth Rollins had to put the Universal title on the line that he earned from none other than the beast incarnate at Wrestlemania. Thankfully, his efforts were enough to put away the Phenomenal One as the Universal title reign continues after Money in the Bank. But he better be careful as the beast still has his sights on him.
