Fantasy Booking: Shawn Michaels vs AJ Styles at WrestleMania 35

AJ Styles Hounds Shawn Michaels until HBK accepts

Categorical refusal

The next week on Monday Night RAW (both shows should benefit from the exposure of this feud), Shawn Michaels comes out to the ring to address AJ Styles. He says that he only came back to win the world championship, and that whilst AJ Styles needs to face Shawn Michaels, Shawn Michaels doesn't need to face AJ Styles. He declines the challenge.

Over the next few weeks, Styles becomes more and more unhinged. He is more vicious in his matches and continues to attack his opponents after he has won. He attacks wrestlers backstage. And each time, he calls out Shawn Michaels. Implores him to accept his challenge.

Finally, AJ Styles goes too far and attacks a referee. He is suspended. This is meant to be reminiscent of Shawn Michaels' own behavior in 2010 when his desire to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania consumed him.

A few weeks later on RAW, Michaels is in the ring, perhaps to talk up Triple H's WrestleMania match. He says once again that he has no interest in facing AJ Styles. Suddenly, AJ Styles rushes out of the crowd and attacks Shawn Michaels. He once again challenges Michaels.

The next week on RAW, Shawn Michaels accepts the challenge. The match is set.
