#2 AJ Styles
AJ Styles has a fair gripe. He held the WWE Champion for over four months before losing it at the Royal Rumble in an excellent match to John Cena.
Since that point, he has had two WWE title matches but neither was the traditional one on one title rematch that the former Champion usually gets. Sure it kind of comes off as a whiny heel’s complaint but it isn’t without some merit.
AJ would be the perfect choice to fill in for Orton as needed. AJ has almost single handily carried the Smackdown brand in the last five months.
The one on one matchup would be a fresh one with Bray and lead to some interesting moments. And if we had some Wyatt Family interference at WrestleMania 33, then AJ’s well-deserved face turn could begin as well.
AJ deserves a high profile match at the biggest pay-per-view.
