3 Possible Matches for AJ Styles at WrestleMania 35

The Phenomenal One!

AJ Styles is arguably one of the best wrestlers in the world. His name is known to all the wrestling fans in the world.

The Phenomenal One carried Impact Wrestling (formerly known as, TNA) on his shoulders for over a decade.

Styles then went to NJPW, where he became the leader of the famous "Bullet Club" and had a fabulous run there becoming the IWGP Heavyweight Champion. In January 2016, amidst rumors of him coming to WWE, Styles debuted at the Royal Rumble as a surprise entrant. Since then, he's been on a roll.

In his relatively short career of three years in WWE, Styles has already achieved a lot. He's a two-time WWE Champion (the recently concluded one was 371 days long) and has also held the United States Championship. Not to forget, he feuded with the Leader of Cenation and pinned him clean at SummerSlam '16.

The 2k19 cover star had a memorable 2018, having some great rivalries and matches. He recently challenged Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble unsuccessfully (thanks to Rowan).

Currently, he's scheduled to be a part of the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship along with Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, Mustafa Ali, and of course, the WWE Champion Daniel Bryan.

Though we can never rule out a Styles victory, the chances of that happening are less. But rest assured, a Superstar of the level of AJ Styles is sure to have a solid feud and match at the Grandest Stage Of Them All.

So let's take a look at the three possible matches that AJ Styles can have at WrestleMania 35. Feel free to tell us your thoughts on these matches in the comment section.


#1 AJ Styles vs Randy Orton

Let's start with the match that has been rumored to take place at WrestleMania 35 since quite some time now. This match has happened once during the build-up to WrestleMania 33. Randy Orton, who was a babyface then, defeated Styles, who was a heel.

With the dynamics changed now, a feud between the two would be very interesting. Styles is a top-notch babyface and Orton's new, more vicious attitude would keep fans invested in the feud.

Both of these Superstars are competing in the Elimination Chamber for the WWE Title. While neither of them might walk out as the champion, but they could kickstart their feud inside the chamber.

Imagine Styles jumping from the top of the pod to deliver a Phenomenal Forearm to Orton, who counters it into an RKO mid-way. Styles can then go on to eliminate Orton afterwards, making Orton angry and attacking Styles on SmackDown.

This match was initially supposed to be the WWE Championship bout at WrestleMania 35. Though it could still happen, title or non-title, this rivalry has the potential to be one of the best rivalries of the year.

Also, just a wild thought - With the rumors of AJ Styles not renewing his contract with WWE and AEW approaching Randy Orton, adding a "loser leaves WWE" stipulation to the match would make it one of the most anticipating matches of this year's WrestleMania.

Following is a recent tweet, where Orton is taking shots at Style's rumored injury.

#2 AJ Styles vs The Undertaker

Remember when the Phenom returned to SmackDown 900 and confronted the whole SmackDown team and warned them to better win the Survivor Series match? If yes, then you might also remember the short stare-down between him and the Phenomenal One in that segment.

That tease was enough to hype-up the fans for a match between the Phenomenal One and the Phenom. This match has the potential to elevate Styles to a whole new level.

With the Phenom having no opponent for WrestleMania this year, it opens up the opportunity for this match to happen. AJ Styles will be competing in the Elimination Chamber for the WWE Title. There are very fewer chances of him coming out with the Title.

Earlier this year, Vince McMahon tried to unleash the wild side of Styles. After losing the Chamber match, Styles might just get impatient and confront Vince regarding his match at Mania.

Styles can then demand a match with the Undertaker, to which Vince replies "You can't handle him, kid". This would enrage Styles, who'll attack Vince. Then he'll call out Taker pretty much how Cena called him out last year.

After getting no reply from the Dead Man for a couple of weeks, Styles threatens Vince that he won't renew his contract if he doesn't get to face the Undertaker at WrestleMania.

Finally, Vince could make Taker confront Styles, where Styles would challenge him to a match at Mania. The match quality would be great, as Styles is known to have good matches with almost every opponent.

WrestleMania 35 might just be the last outing for the Phenom inside a squared circle. WWE can also have Taker put his career on the line, as Styles is the best opponent to retire the mighty Undertaker.

Having Shawn Michaels confront Styles during the build-up to warn him about the force he's going to fight with would be interesting. All and all, this feud has the potential to be one for the ages.

#3 AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan vs Samoa Joe - WWE Championship

The current situation of the WWE Championship is pretty chaotic. At Elimination Chamber, Daniel Bryan will be defending the title against AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, and Mustafa Ali.

Bryan is not expected to drop the title at the chamber. But the match can be a great way to set up a blockbuster Triple-Threat match for the WWE Championship at Mania.

With Styles, Joe, and Bryan as the final three competitors, we could see an all-out Brawl between the three inside the chamber. With bodies flying everywhere, Bryan can somehow manage to get the win.

On next SmackDown, Joe could cut a promo on how he could have beaten Bryan easily if it wasn't for Styles. Styles comes out reminding Joe about his unsuccessful attempts to take the title from him last year.

They can start brawling, only for Vince McMahon to announce a No.1 contenders match at FastLane for the WWE Title Opportunity at Mania. The match could then end in a no-contest with of them fighting throughout the backstage.

Bryan would then address the situation at the next SmackDown stating that since none of the two won, he won't defend his title at WrestleMania. Just as he's about to leave, Joe blindsides Bryan and starts attacking him. Styles also joins the chaos soon.

This makes Triple H come out. He announces a triple threat match between the three of them for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania in a no-DQ match.

The match no-doubt has the potential to steal the show. Also, it would be a great platform for Joe to capture his first WWE Championship by beating two of the best in business in what would definitely be a "Match of the Year" contender.
