4 Superstars who could replace AJ Styles at WrestleMania 34

AJ Styles is making headlines all around the professional wrestling universe, and it's quite heart-breaking that the man is on the verge of being sidelined after a legitimate injury in a live event at M.S.G.

The injury was considered a work initially, but Dave Meltzer's latest instalment of Wrestling Observer Radio has suggested otherwise.

Judging by the current speculations, Styles' injury could end up being a serious threat to his WrestleMania dream encounter with Shinsuke Nakamura.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

Therefore, the company could be searching for few potential replacements. Here are four Superstars who could replace "The Phenomenal One" in the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania 34.

Honorable mentions:

3. Baron Corbin

2. Bobby Roode

1. Rusev

#4 Randy Orton

The main event needs a legitimate superstar

SmackDown Live's lacklustre creative booking has tarnished the essence of the brand and if there's a momentous time to click the reset button, it is now.

There's no way you could talk about the main event, and not consider "the Viper" to be a part of it. Despite disappointing with his stale character enactment, Orton still carries a strong resume, to headline the blue brand.

His US Championship program has been hurting his credibility quite lately. Therefore, a promising heel turn could rejuvenate his career back to relevance.

#3 Dolph Ziggler

Enter captio — Will the Show-Off finally seize his moment?

Another option that stands as an ideal substitute for Styles at WrestleMania 34 is Dolph Ziggler.

The man has been quite popular with his versatility between the ropes, and stands a legitimate chance of getting an opportunity this time around, especially after his sensational re-signing with the WWE.

The company's huge investment in Ziggler could coerce them to elevate the Show-Off to the main event picture.

It's quite disappointing that the former World Heavyweight Champion has never had a singles match at WrestleMania and since he is the third-highest earning wrestler in the WWE today, it won't be a surprise if he ends up being the WWE Champion at WrestleMania 34.

#2 Kevin Owens

The strong heel impersonation of Kevin Owens has catapulted his stock as a main event superstar in the WWE.

He has been constantly featured in the main event picture, ever since his arrival to SmackDown, and is currently involved in a terrific storyline for WrestleMania 34 with Shane O'Mac and Sami Zayn.

However, A.J. Styles' possible sidelining could throw the spotlight on the PrizeFighter, and kick-start a fantastic feud with the 'King of Strong Style'.

The WWE Championship certainly deserves a fresh feud and AJ Styles' possible injury woes could be the opening KO needs.

#1 Sami Zayn

If the company's focus is to put on a technical wrestling bout for the WWE Universe through the WWE Championship match, then Sami Zayn stands as a strong contender to be a potential replacement.

The Underdog has proved his worth on the blue brand with his amazingly logical heel run. Sami Zayn's classic bout with Shinsuke Nakamura at NXT Takeover: Dallas could influence the company to book a sequel in New Orleans.

Despite the lack of time left to build a creative storyline, Sami Zayn's willingness to rise to the blue brand can make him an ideal contender to walk out with the WWE Championship.
