It's an interesting choice to open the Pay-Per-View because AJ Styles is by far the best performer in the company. While Randy Orton's programs over the last few years haven't exactly set the world on fire, the recent AJ Styles program has certainly seen him get more motivated than ever.

It's been a while since Randy Orton opened the show. Ironically, it happened in the same arena a few years ago, where he teamed up with The Big Show and Sheamus to take on The Shield in their WrestleMania debut.

It's been a long time since then and a whole lot of things have changed. Now, he's set to take on the former WWE Champion AJ Styles. According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio suggested that their match may not be the end of a feud, but rather the start of it.

What's next?

WrestleMania 35 is about to begin. Enjoy the show people!
