Road to WrestleMania 35: Grading the Storylines going into the Show of Shows

#10 AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton

The Phenomenal One vs. The Apex Predator

AJ Styles and Randy Orton are two of SmackDown Live's biggest stars, so it was only natural that a program between the two would make for a great WrestleMania match.

The two former world champions had been interacting since January, but The Legend Killer's victories over The Phenomenal One in the gauntlet match and the Elimination Chamber set their feud in motion.

After another altercation at the Fastlane pay-per-view, Orton and Styles would have a war of words where they talked about their different paths to get to the top of WWE.

The TNA vs. WWE angle seems somewhat contrived considering that Styles is one of the top 10 longest reigning WWE Champions of all time...and is the cover star for WWE 2K19.

Aside from that, this looks to be one of the show-stealing matches that nobody's talking about for some reason.

Styles and Orton are two great wrestlers who never had a pay-per-view match against each other until now, so we're expecting great things this Sunday.

They had a good match two years ago heading into WrestleMania 33, but nobody believes either man was wrestling to the best of their ability, which means the WrestleMania 35 match will be both men wrestling at their best with no restrictions.

Grade: B+
