5 Opponents for Brock Lesnar at the 2017 Royal Rumble

1: AJ Styles

AJ Styles has had a brilliant debut year in WWE

AJ Styles vs Brock Lesnar is a dream match. WWE could promote it as the top inter-brand attraction for the Royal Rumble. Although it’d be wiser to hold off on this match till Wrestlemania 33, WWE have a 60,000 seater stadium to fill and might as well pull the trigger on this one.

One thing WWE have to do before this match ,however, is to turn AJ face. AJ’s SmackDown Live’s top heel right now but AJ has to turn before a match with Lesnar. Styles, who’s much smaller than ‘The Beast’, playing heel would make no sense. Styles could bump around like a boss for Lesnar and play the face in peril perfectly.

Styles is one of the best wrestlers in the world right now and Lesnar isn't shoddy either. His match with Lesnar would tear the house down. No matter who went over on the night, both wrestlers would benefit from the match.
