One of the biggest reasons why SmackDown Live has become a joy to watch is because of AJ Styles' willingness and hunger to push the blue brand to the top.

There's no denying that the Phenomenal One's versatility as a performer has earned him a reputation of being the last of his kind, with legions of fans calling him a perfect blend of Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, and Bret Hart.

While Styles did have a hard road before garnering popularity, his current role in the WWE is speaking volumes of the management's trust in him and what he brings to the table.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, AJ Styles is now involved in a hot storyline where Vince McMahon, a man who was skeptical about how the former WWE Champion would fit in the company, is playing a significant part.

If history is any indication, then the Chairman's involvement in the feud could only lead to the company propelling the Phenomenal One to unimaginable heights.

This is a great time to be a fan of professional wrestling, especially the one that is transpiring on SmackDown Live, and with AJ now locking horns with Daniel Bryan at the Royal Rumble for the WWE Championship, things are only going to get more interesting.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and predict the 5 biggest things Vince McMahon could be planning for AJ Styles at WrestleMania 35.


#1 Vince McMahon brings the Real Animal to lock horns with the Phenomenal One

Ever since Vince McMahon first confronted AJ Styles on SmackDown Live and coerced him into unleashing the real 'Animal' within him, the fans have constantly discussed the possibility of the Boss planning something huge for the Phenomenal One.

Considering that Batista is the first person that comes into your mind when you hear the name 'Animal', there's a genuine possibility that a match of this magnitude could happen at the Show of Shows.

AJ Styles has already proved his mettle as a performer by delivering some fine matches with Shane McMahon and Chris Jericho at WrestleMania before, and while he didn't really connect with Nakamura last year, he could have a lot of fun with someone like Batista.

While Batista has always stated the idea of returning back to the squared circle, a match with AJ Styles could be an offer that he might not refuse.

Judging by how the angle is going at the moment, losing the WWE Championship match at the Royal Rumble would only make things troubling for Styles, leading the Boss to bring Batista back to lock horns with AJ at WrestleMania 35.

#2 A.J. Styles makes things personal with Vince McMahon and picks up a fight with Triple H

A more likely option would be to see a frustrated AJ Styles to eventually lose his temper and attack Vince McMahon and the Authority again.

Considering that he is not the favorite to walk out of Chase Field as the WWE Champion, Vince McMahon could add fuel to the fire by mocking the house that Daniel Bryan stole from Styles.

This might eventually ignite a rage within the Phenomenal One that the Boss was yearning to see and it might cost him more than he would have been expecting.

With many fans wanting to see Triple H being involved in this feud, a possible match at WrestleMania 35 could literally happen, with the Game always stating his love for the former WWE Champion.

Therefore, making things personal with the Authority could get the casual fans to gravitate their attention towards the product which would eventually elevate the viewership and ratings for the blue brand.

Personally speaking, this is the most compelling time for WWE to actually push AJ Styles to the moon and a marquee match with Hunter at the Show of Shows could be one for the ages.

#3 Vince McMahon brings his 'Instrument of Destruction' to test AJ Styles

While WrestleMania 32 was probably one of the most disappointing events in the company's history, the Undertaker's match with Shane McMahon literally broke the internet.

Considering that the storyline involved Shane wanting his share of power in WWE, Vince McMahon brought the Undertaker who he mentioned as his 'Instrument of Destruction' to teach his son a lesson.

Despite the fact that the Phenom never answers to anyone, there's a genuine possibility that the company could plan a match for the ages with this one.

Most of the competitors have praised the Phenomenal One for carrying a great match with absolutely anyone, and with his match with Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 33 receiving such worldwide praise, the Boss might just give Styles the match of his life.

Since the former WWE Champion has always stated his love for the Undertaker and his wish to collide with him one day, the Phenomenal One could have his wish come true if the Boss brings that cold hearted destructive force to test AJ Styles.

With the Undertaker likely to show up at the Show of Shows, a match with AJ Styles would definitely get the attention it deserves and might also elevate Styles' to the level he was always born to be in.

#4 AJ Styles refuses to extend his contract if Vince McMahon doesn't agree to give him a match with Shawn Michaels

Tough pill to swallow

Today WWE is in a position where they have to produce something exceptional or else the fans would continue to criticize the product and might eventually diver their attention towards something that they could find entertaining.

With Shawn Michaels rumored to have his final match at WrestleMania 35, the company could certainly look to tell a story that is riveting.

Consider that CM Punk's contractual storyline surrounding Vince McMahon, John Cena, and the WWE Championship was so efficiently told that it brought a lot of respect and viewership to the product.

While the Phenomenal One has extended his contract with the WWE, an angle of this sort could be played to perfection by someone like Vince McMahon where the former WWE Champion could make his current status public to the fans.

Since AJ Styles is already showing shades of a heel turn in the near future, demanding a match with Shawn Michaels by literally threatening Vince's locker room could be absolutely sensational.

If attention to detail is anything to take into consideration, then it was the Boss who coerced Styles to brutalize and terrorize the locker room with a heavy heart.

There's no denying that HBK could run riot with the Phenomenal One at WrestleMania 35, the build-up to this storyline could actually be a genuine reason for HBK to return back for a classic.

#5 Vince McMahon signs Kenny Omega to finish AJ Styles

Despite the reports of Kenny Omega's arrival in the WWE being very unlikely, there's no confirmation as to where the Cleaner will eventually land.

With Vince McMahon wanting Omega to work under his vision, offering him a lucrative contract and some creative control could make things easier for the WWE.

Considering that All Elite Wrestling is all over the news nowadays, the company can't risk losing the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion to a rival promotion that could actually bring the true sports entertainment back to our screens.

While Omega has always stated that he would eventually have to join forces with the WWE, a match with the Phenomenal One is something he has been desperately wanting.

A.J. Styles is now a more bigger threat on blue brand than he has ever been and this whole confrontation with Vince has brought more attention to his craft.

Since Vince McMahon is vowing to bring Omega to the WWE, planning a storyline between these two who have shared such a tremendous history together in the Bullet Club could be absolutely phenomenal.
