5 Feuds for The Undertaker in 2017

#2 AJ Styles

Phenom vs. Phenomenal One: There, I’ve created your WrestleMania main event tagline in less than thirty seconds

This is a rivalry that’s being rumored heavily right now. If this match-up comes to fruition, it could lead to one of the most anticipated match-ups in recent memory. For years, fans have begged A.J. Styles to sign with WWE, in the hopes that his skills and years of toiling away elsewhere would be recognised and appreciated.

So far, they have, as he has been in several great matches and is the top guy on SmackDown. But many people still view him as a ‘non-WWE guy’, and feel that he’ll never be accepted as part of the WWE for being so much of an outsider. The Undertaker can fix that.

Styles would be the perfect opponent for the Undertaker. He’s a spectacular worker that can conceal his opponent’s weaknesses with great ease. As Taker’s most recent matches have demonstrated, he excels when his opponent is smaller and more technically-skilled than he is.

When he wrestled against another monster or in an overly-gimmicked match, the results can be hit or miss.

Furthermore, this is the same tried-and-tested formula that WWE has been using for years, usually with great success. A wrestler arrives on a show. They go on a winning streak and eventually run out of opponents to destroy.

They think of themselves as the best WWE has to offer, when all of a sudden, GONG! Out comes the Undertaker to give them their biggest challenge to date.

John Cena has once called himself the gatekeeper to the main event. The truth is that title rightfully belongs to the Undertaker, as defeating the Deadman (or even having a match with him, for that matter) is all a wrestler needs to become a certified top superstar in WWE.
