According to Forbes, WWE might be planning to make this WrestleMania, the biggest event of all time. The rumor that's been making the rounds, states that the show could consist of a whopping total of 17 matches!

It's clear that WWE is focusing on quantity here, with the event bound to last for around 8 hours, counting the pre-show. In spite of this fact, there's a high possibility that we are going to witness some incredible in-ring action at MetLife Stadium on April 7th.

Although these two have battled before, this match is worthy of being placed on a WrestleMania card. The rivalry kicked off a few weeks ago when Randy Orton interrupted AJ Styles' interview on SmackDown. The two delivered one of the best promos in recent memory on last week's SmackDown, with Orton bringing up AJ's indie days, and the Phenomenal One hitting back by stating that Orton would never have made it in the Indies.

AJ Styles is regarded by many as being the best wrestler in the world. Orton, although not on the level of Styles, is capable of blowing the roof off with his performances.

Orton has had classic matches in the past against the likes of The Undertaker, Mick Foley, Seth Rollins, and John Cena. AJ has traveled around the world, becoming the top star in promotions like NJPW and TNA. The two wrestlers are set to wow the 80,000 fans inside MetLife Stadium.

Unfortunately, we will most probably see the match relegated to the pre-show, as has usually been the case with the Cruiserweight title matches on PPVs. Nevertheless, it's a lock that these two former friends and training partners are going to have a match for the ages at MetLife Stadium.

It's a shame that there won't be a packed stadium to watch the action unfold, as people tend to fill up the seats during the pre-show. Hopefully, WWE puts this match on the main card and fills up the pre-show card with the two battle royals.

Back in 2015, the Royal Rumble PPV gave us one of the greatest triple threat matches of all time. Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar, and John Cena brought their A-game to the ring, and by the end of it, there wasn't a fan inside the arena who wasn't on their feet.

Rollins and Lesnar went on to have another good match after WrestleMania 31, which didn't reach a conclusion as The Undertaker came back to exact revenge on The Beast.

After winning this year's Royal Rumble match, Rollins is all set to face Brock Lesnar in the co-main event of WrestleMania 35. Although Lesnar is bashed by fans for his limited move set, he has always proved them wrong by having excellent matches against the likes of Bryan and Styles. This match is capable of being the best bout on the possible 17-match card.
