AJ Styles has been the WWE Champion for close to a year now. He doesn't seem like dropping it soon, but it will happen at some point. After he is finally out of the title picture, the Phenomenal One will require a high profile opponent for WrestleMania.

It doesn't get much more high profile than the living legend, Randy Orton. This is a match that has happened before, yet the two of them have barely scratched the surface in terms of what they can do together.

The 13-time World Champion is currently going on a fantastic heel run, as he is torturing babyfaces left, right and centre. Orton seems to be putting his heart into his work again after years of blandness as a babyface. He would be a terrific opponent for Styles at 'Mania. These are two of the most reliable wrestlers currently on the roster, as they can put on great matches with pretty much anyone.

While this would be an excellent WWE Championship match, there is another match on this list that needs the title more than this. Both Styles and Orton could feasibly carry a brand, or even a company, on their back.

They are two of the biggest full-time stars on the Blue brand and their match would dazzle the world, especially in their current roles. Face Styles vs Heel Orton could steal the show, even with a card as stacked as this one. Also, we need to see the Phenomenal Forearm countered into an RKO. Please.
