6 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 6 we hope aren't: Plans for WrestleMania 36 main event revealed, Drew McIntyre 'ends' former US Champion's in-ring career?

#2. Hope is true: Why The Undertaker chose AJ Styles as his WrestleMania 36 opponent

AJ Styles has been in WWE for 4 years now and has become a bonafide main eventer and one of the company's most reliable top stars. You've probably heard the rumors that he could be set for one of the biggest matches of his career as he's set to take on The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36.

Paul Davis of WrestlingNews.co revealed that the reason why The Undertaker chose AJ Styles is that he's viewed as the modern-day Shawn Michaels. If you watched WWE in 2009 and 2010, you'll know that The Undertaker had two all-time classics with Michaels at WrestleMania - the latter which saw him end Michaels' legendary career.

We hope this is true because we feel that at this stage, AJ Styles might be one of the few superstars who can get a great match out of The Undertaker at WrestleMania. The last time that The Undertaker had a memorable match at WrestleMania was in 2016 against Shane McMahon and before that - 2013 against CM Punk. This could be up there.
