Styles lost the WWE title a couple of months ago on Smackdown Live and failed to win the rematch at TLC. However, he won the fatal-5 way match on Smackdown Live and earned the opportunity to face Daniel Bryan at Royal Rumble.
Bryan is having an impressive title reign, and he is not likely to lose the title at the Royal Rumble. The current feud might not continue until Wrestlemania, and Styles needs a credible opponent at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Several superstars could have dream matches with the Phenomenal One. Here we discuss 2 opponents who could be suitable opponents for AJ Styles at Wrestlemania 35.
#2 The Undertaker
Undertaker is one of the greatest, and he is undoubtedly a dream opponent for Styles. The two superstars can produce a memorable rivalry. Presently, Undertaker is not a regular performer, as he wrestles occasionally.
His last match was at Crown Jewel where he teamed up with Kane to fight DX. However, it will be interesting to see if Undertaker enters the Royal Rumble match as a surprise entrant.
Undertaker has a massive legacy in WWE. He has been wrestling in WWE for 29 years, and he has won several titles. He won the Hardcore title once, the tag team titles seven times, WWE and World title seven times. Undertaker also won the Royal Rumble match in 2007. His character has gone through many exciting gimmicks in a lengthy career.
Undertaker collided with superstars like Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, Stone Cold, Brock Lesnar, Shawn Michaels and many more. Hence, AJ Styles could be another magnificent opponent if they lock horns at Grandest Stage of Them All.
WWE can promote the match as Phenom vs Phenomenal One. Undertaker is in the twilight of his career and Styles could be a great opponent to retire the legendary wrestler. Moreover, Styles will raise his stature after a feud with the Deadman
#1 Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels is undoubtedly a dream opponent of AJ Styles. It was considered a fantasy match after Styles landed in WWE. Shawn Michaels retired in 2010, and the match was not realistically possible. However, Michaels broke retirement last year and competed at Crown Jewel. Therefore, the dream match could become a reality at Wrestlemania 35.
Shawn Michaels is rated as one of the greatest technical wrestlers ever to step foot in the WWE ring. Styles is regarded as the best technical wrestler of his generation. As a result, they can provide a historical match together. Though age has slowed him down, Michaels can still entertain the WWE Universe.
HBK had a long career in WWE. He faced opponents like Bret Hart, Stone Cold, Ric Flair, Chris Jericho, Undertaker and many more. In fact, Undertaker retired him at Wrestlemania 26 where they competed in a career vs streak match. Hence, AJ Styles could become another elite opponent if they face each other at Wrestlemania 35.
Styles has provided many awe-inspiring matches in WWE. Michaels could become his best opponent to date, and they are capable of producing one of the greatest matches ever. This match will be a treat for the WWE Universe, and it could steal the show.
