AJ Styles is possibly the best wrestler in the world right now and the best wrestler in WWE today. The current WWE Champion puts on classics with everyone he steps inside the squared circle and never disappoints us with his performance.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
At the age of 41, Styles performs as if he is just 25. However, with his actual age above 40, his days in the wrestling world are numbered.
The Phenomenal One might retire in 2019 as he has stated earlier. However, we still don't know when he will retire. If he doesn't retire after WrestleMania 35, here are five dream opponents for him after WrestleMania:
#5 Bobby Lashley
While WWE might not have treated Bobby Lashley the way we all wanted. However, that doesn't change the fact that how good and dangerous Bobby Lashley is.
Bobby Lashley is a person equivalent to Brock Lesnar. On the other hand, AJ Styles performs much better against the opponents who are bigger than him in size. A match between the two is a dream match that would tear the house down.
Even Bobby Lashley has hinted for a match against Styles for the WWE Championship. That is not possible this year and we don't know if Styles will remain the WWE Champion till Superstar Shakeup.
However, this match certainly needs to happen. The fans want it and Lashley wants it. Please make this match happen WWE. I would love to see who wins the dream match.
#4 Adam Cole
Adam Cole is currently dominating the NXT roster with the rest of Undisputed Era. However, the time is not far away when we see him dominate the main roster and it would be better to see him on SmackDown Live than seeing him on Raw.
With him coming on SmackDown, there are many dream matches for him and the list includes the current WWE Champion, AJ Styles. This match has happened in Ring of Honor and stole the show, the same needs to happen in WWE.
Both Cole and Styles are two of the best wrestlers in WWE. They can put up a great fight whenever they face each other in WWE.
Cole is too big of a star to stay on NXT for any longer. However, we still have to wait for him until Superstar Shake Up.
Whenever he heads to the main roster, he needs to go to SmackDown Live. Every fan wants this match. WWE needs to book this and make this happen. We want this show-stealer to happen.
#3 Seth Rollins
Many fans think that this dream match is the best match AJ Styles can have in the WWE. That might not be the case. However, this is a dream match that everyone wants and needs to happen soon.
Seth Rollins has been on fire this year. He's currently the most popular star on Raw and puts on best Raw matches every week.
His Intercontinental title reign has been great with the Open Challenges(somewhat stopped them since Shield reunion). On the other hand, Styles WWE title reign has been the best reign since CM Punk's reign.
This match surely needs to happen. Seth Rollins needs to be drafted to SmackDown Live(what's the point of him staying on Raw when he can't be the Universal Champion) and have a match with AJ Styles.
They will surely burn it down. Will this match be the first WWE five-star match in seven years? Only time will tell.
#2 Ricochet
Is there any wrestler in WWE with the caliber of AJ Styles? The answer is Ricochet.
Ricochet is the only man who can give competition to AJ Styles in the wrestling skills. The man reminds us young AJ Styles who used to put on classics every week on TNA. The current NXT North American Champion gives us great matches every week on NXT.
Ricochet is also too big of a guy to stay in NXT for longer. However, we have to wait until Super Star Shakeup to get him on the main roster.
He should debut on SmackDown Live where several dream matches are awaiting him. One and the biggest of those matches is with AJ Styles.
The fans would love to see this match and chant This is Awesome. They are going to steal the show for sure.
#1 Shawn Michaels
Obvious, right? Shawn Michaels Vs AJ Styles is the biggest possible dream match that might never happen.
Shawn Michaels was the best wrestler of his generation. The first WWE star to get two five-star matches in WWE, the show-stopper was the greatest wrestler to ever step foot inside the squared circle. AJ Styles falls in the same category too.
AJ Styles is the Shawn Michaels of this generation. The best wrestler in the world is just like Shawn Michaels. A match between the two would be the biggest match in professional wrestling history.
A return makes sure that he might wrestle a few more matches. If he competes at WrestleMania 35 too, it guarantees us a few matches more.
AJ Styles Vs Shawn Michaels is a match the fans want and deserve. Deciding a winner between the two is very difficult, but one thing is guaranteed, this match would be a show-stealer that's for sure.
