5 Batista dream matches that might never take place 

#3 AJ Styles

When does AJ Styles have a bad match?

Whether it’s leading the mid-card, shocking the world in breathtaking tag team action, or main eventing the biggest PPV’s with megastars, AJ Styles has truly cemented his place among the legends of professional wrestling.

When WWE signed Styles in 2016, he wasn’t meant to be more than an upper mid-carder, and almost three years later there is no better Superstar on the entire roster than The Phenomenal One.

As Styles has proven that by delivering stellar performances in the programme after programme.

A man that has been the light at the end of the tunnel for Smackdown Live in its darkest days, Styles sits atop the pinnacle of Smackdown Live as he continues to prove that “Smackdown Live is the house that AJ Styles built” is no longer a catchphrase but the truth.

As WWE continues to shuffle their rosters every year, Styles staying a cornerstone on the blue brand would be the best thing for the entire show.

However, Styles needs a superstar to match him in star power and drawing power on the Blue Brand, while the WWE creative team have messed up most of the Smackdown Live’s rising talents over the years from Shinsuke Nakamura to Bobby Roode.

The only competitor that can share the responsibly of making the blue brand the A show is Batista.

One of the greatest Smackdown superstars of all time, Batista had created unforgettable moments and contested great matches in his initial run on Smackdown.

Although most of The Animal's potentially blockbuster feuds exist on Raw, the best work of his entire career could have been awaiting him over on the blue brand.

As Styles has shown he can use his impeccable selling ability and overall evolving in-ring style to create excellent matches with massive wrestlers like Brock Lesnar and Baron Corbin.

This could have been a battle of the cornerstone of Smackdown Live today against the man that defined the show over a decade ago, and this would've been a spectacular showdown that would finally make the blue brand as important as Raw.
