The AJ Styles we see on TV might be an obnoxious, self-centered "turd" (a word he used himself to describe his character on his latest WWE Network documentary), but the real guy has been widely characterized as one of the nicest dudes in the business - as well as one of the smartest.

The comparisons to Shawn Michaels/Diesel and Styles/Omos are a dime a dozen at this point, but when you consider that even someone as respected as The Undertaker called Styles "the closest to Shawn Michaels that we have" on Steve Austin's Broken Skull Sessions, that goes a long way.

Having Omos make his main roster in-ring debut not just at WrestleMania, but in a title match at WrestleMania, means that WWE sees a lot of potential in this 7'3" behemoth from Nigeria - and they have some big plans for him. If that's the case, and Omos becomes as big of a star as WWE expects him to be, this match could eventually be a big moment in the company's history.

Or, he might be a dud. Who knows? But pairing him with someone like AJ Styles at the start of his career is a wise move. Especially considering all the legends Styles has worked with and learned from even before coming to WWE. Stars like Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, and Sting, as well as his experiences in Japan. Who better to learn from than someone who has spent years learning from the greats?

Plus, let's be honest, AJ Styles can already lay claim to being one of the greats himself.
