5 ways WWE could make AJ Styles Vs The Undertaker the best thing on television

Anyone who shares an abundant amount of adulation for professional wrestling understands how important AJ Styles and the Undertaker are to this world.

Widely respected for being two of the greatest in-ring performers of all time, they are now almost scheduled to tussle it out at the Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania 36.

Although the initial confrontations between them had me a little skeptical, AJ Styles' stupefying promo last night on Monday Night RAW has me all hooked for this "once-in-a-lifetime" bout.

The former WWE Champion ripped into The Phenom's personal life and they are now scheduled to have a contract signing next Monday night on RAW.

With Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon bringing their A-game to the fold, could we see a legitimate personal feud between The Phenomenal One and The Phenom at the Showcase of the Immortals? Let's see.

Here are the 5 ways WWE could intensify AJ Styles Vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36.

#5 Michelle McCool returns to RAW with Mark Calaway

This could be a shocker

With AJ Styles using his segment to dive into The Undertaker's personal life, mentioning Michelle McCool, and addressing him with his real name 'Mark Calaway', there are several directions WWE could go into making this feud a heated affair.

The Phenomenal One is serious about taking The Deadman down at the Grandest Stage of Them All, and if WWE shares the same amount of intensity as Styles, they could enhance the feud by throwing the spotlight on a more humane side of The Undertaker.

Involving Michelle McCool and diving into Mark's personal life not only makes this feud extremely realistic, but it also makes it perhaps the most interesting feud The Undertaker has had in years.

#4 Diving into AJ Styles and The Undertaker's real-life friendship

This will be something special

One cannot deny that The Undertaker has undeniable respect for the business he has helped build, an industry where he has been able to share some true relationships with his fellow professionals. AJ Styles is one of them.

Even though this might come across as a shocker, but The Phenomenal One himself made the admission that he shares a great friendship with the Demon of Death Valley.

In an interview with Inside The Ropes in 2017, Styles shared his thoughts on The Undertaker, his friendship with the former World Champion, and how significant he is to the business.

"I can tell you I was emotional because he's my friend. He and I have got a relationship between both of us have the same friend that we're very close to, so he and I developed this relationship without even knowing each other that well. But it was heartbreaking a little bit because this is the guy that's been here for so long and has shaped the WWE into what it is now."

Considering that Styles' scathing criticism of The Undertaker did gravitate the right attention, by possibly bringing in this real friendship, WWE could raise the credibility of this rivalry to a different stratosphere.

#3 The O.C. take out the Big Red Machine to make things more personal

Will the Big Red Machine make his return?

With Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman being the purveyor of tone in this case, the O.C ganging up on a returning Kane could elevate the stature of this feud heading into WrestleMania 36.

The Big Red Machine is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in professional wrestling and his relationship with The Undertaker could help intensify this feud even more.

Judging by the way AJ Styles ripped through The Undertaker's life in his promo, it could trigger the demonic Kane into returning to the squared circle to confront the O.C.

Whilst I'm intrigued to see the Undertaker and AJ Styles collide in a singles bout, having Kane alongside The Phenom heading into Tampa, won't be much of a problem.

An idealistic approach involves AJ Styles and his cohorts doing whatever it takes to make this feud a more personal affair. Attacking a returning Kane not only heat things, but it also allows the audience to see a more vengeful Undertaker vowing to take The Phenomenal One's soul at WrestleMania.

#2 Mr. WrestleMania intervenes to warn the self-proclaimed Mr. WrestleMania about The Phenom

A confrontation we all deserve

Even though he proclaims to be Mr. WrestleMania, there's no denying that AJ Styles is every bit as phenomenal as he says he is. He is the master of offensive innovation and has proved his mettle between the ropes.

With this Undertaker feud, there's a distinct possibility we could see The Phenomenal One confronted by the greatest that ever lived, Shawn Michaels.

They may have never slugged it out inside a ring, but even a possible confrontation between them could bring the house down and make things more serious for The Undertaker and AJ Styles' feud.

We have seen HBK returning before to confront Superstars clashing against The Phenom, so we could see him do the same with AJ Styles.

Considering that AJ is currently working as a heel on Monday Night RAW, he could use this opportunity to mock Michaels for never really outshining The Deadman when it mattered.

Even though last night's promo was like a stepping stone in this feud, bringing in The Showstopper to confront one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time makes absolute sense.

#1 AJ Styles tells The Undertaker to put his career on the line at WrestleMania

Will this be Undertaker's last ride?

While I do give a lot of credit to WWE for making things serious between these two heading into WrestleMania, AJ Styles going out there and vowing to end The Undertaker at WrestleMania was a bit tough to take, and I mean that in a good way.

The promo felt unsettling and did enough to cement The Phenomenal One as a legitimate threat to The Undertaker's long and established career.

With the Superstars scheduled to have a contract signing next week, there's bound to be a stipulation settling their encounter at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Even though The Undertaker will always be my favorite wrestler, I do think it's time WWE shows us a more vulnerable side of The Deadman, and a motivated AJ Styles is the best guy to expose this vulnerability.

The Undertaker has entertained us for generations, and if a vulnerable Phenom finally decides to put his career on the line this year inside Raymond James Stadium against Styles, not only will it raise the stakes in this feud, but it will make this rivalry perhaps the most exciting Undertaker feud in WrestleMania history.
