The move creates separation between Styles and his O.C. stablemate Michin, who remains on SmackDown focusing on the women’s division. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows currently compete on NXT, with Anderson sidelined due to a torn rotator cuff injury that requires approximately seven months of recovery time.
Based on current developments, Styles appears positioned for a potential role in the upcoming Elimination Chamber premium live event, while Michin continues her singles competition on the blue brand.
