AJ Styles has made one of the biggest impacts that we have ever seen a WWE star make in their first year with the company. He wrestled Chris Jericho last year at Wrestlemania in one of the lower card matches. This year it looks like ‘the Phenomenal One’ will be at the top of the card for Wrestlemania 33, but who will it be against?
Here are some of the latest rumors floating around surrounding AJ and his opponent at Wrestlemania 33. Reminder: take with a grain of salt.
One of the heaviest discussions surrounding AJ, doesn’t involve the WWE World Championship at all. There is plenty of talk that AJ Styles could be facing off against Shane McMahon at the big event. Seems crazy but on the January 17th episode of Smackdown Live, WWE began planting some seeds. Shane McMahon told AJ that if he wins at the Royal Rumble against John Cena, he will have to defend his WWE World Championship in the Elimination Chamber against 5 other men. AJ was not happy with the Smackdown Live commissioner.

In this scenario, AJ would lose the title either at the Rumble or in the Elimination Chamber and blame Shane, setting up the match.
It is also being rumored that the Styles vs Cena feud drags on until Wrestlemania. Cena would win his 16th title in the next few weeks, but AJ would win it back at Wrestlemania. This would allow Cena to tie Ric Flair but not have a lengthy title run.

A lot of fans are hoping Samoa Joe or Bray Wyatt win the Royal Rumble and end up facing Styles but that is only wishful thinking right now.
Let us know in the comment section what you think. Who do you want to see AJ face?
