5 Dream opponents for AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble 2017

1: Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels vs AJ Styles could be a showstopper if WWE manage to convince Michaels to come out of retirement for one last match

The rumours of AJ Styles taking on Shawn Michaels started last month and were only further fueled by AJ Styles’ comments afterwards.

With the 2017 Royal Rumble taking place in Michaels’ hometown of San Antonio, Texas, this is the perfect opportunity for WWE to book a match that will truly be as big as the Rumble itself, if they can convince Michaels to take part in one more match.

There is no doubt that Michaels and Styles would put on an amazing match and with the plaudits regularly coming in for Styles with some even comparing him to Michaels, this could be the chance to push Styles to the Stratosphere.

A heel Styles beating a returning legend like Shawn Michaels in his hometown could cement Styles as WWE’s top heel.
