5 matches AJ Styles must have in 2018
AJ Styles is the hardest working wrestler in WWE today. He puts in great performances week after week and has become the most fan-favorite superstar. Barely two years in the company, Styles has become the rightful face of SmackDown Live. Known for his prowess, thrilling aerial maneuvers, and supreme confidence, he is the smoothest and most exciting wrestler in the world, let alone WWE.
The last year has been phenomenal for the WWE Champion. He brought out the best in Shane McMahon and Brock Lesnar, wrestled a dream match with Finn Balor, and pushed Jinder Mahal to his best ever match in WWE.
Styles is now scheduled to have another 'dream' match with The King of Strong Style, Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania 34. The match is highly anticipated and could be the best match of the night.
2018 may even get bigger as there are a plethora of wrestlers who are yet to share the ring with The Phenomenal One. Here are five wrestlers who must face Styles in a singles match in 2018.
#5 Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman is currently one of the hottest superstars on the WWE roster today and has been on a roll ever since he broke out from The Wyatt Family. He has been the most consistent performer of 2017.
He is arguably the strongest wrestler in WWE today. Apart from flipping trucks and destroying stages, Strowman is technically sound in the ring.
At 6'8" and 385 lbs, he is still able to do kip ups and dropkick his opponents. His feuds with Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns were memorable and helped him cement his position as the main-event guy.
Strowman is yet to face AJ Styles in a singles match. They did collide at Survivor Series 2016 in the traditional six-man tag team elimination match. He expressed his desire to work with Styles:
AJ Styles is definitely someone I’d like to get in and have a singles match with. Other than that, there’s not a whole lot of guys I haven’t worked with yet.
A match between two of the most popular wrestlers in WWE will be a treat for the fans. Strowman is extremely agile for his weight, and Styles is undoubtedly the best wrestler in WWE today.
The Monster among Men going against The Phenomenal One will be entertaining and an interesting match to witness.
