#3 Randy Orton vs AJ Styles?

AJ Styles has moved rosters more than once in 2020. The Phenomenal one is currently on RAW with Randy Orton. During his recent run on the Blue brand, AJ Styles enjoyed a reign as WWE Intercontinental Champion, and he may be eying up a world championship as a RAW Superstar.

Like some other performers named on this list, AJ Styles has some history with Randy Orton. In 2019, the pair struck up a rivalry after Orton eliminated Styles during their match at Elimination Chamber, and the pair came to blows over their history in wrestling.

Their rivalry came to a head at WrestleMania 35, where Styles won. Now that both AJ Styles and Randy Orton are on the same brand, there is plenty of scope for this storyline to be reignited. Both performers are popular with fans for their in-ring skills and their unique personas.

As both performers are currently working as heels on RAW, this may be an opportunity to turn one of them into a babyface. If this rivalry happens, there is potential for some crazy matches to happen in the future between the two.
