5) Marquee Match – AJ Styles v/s Randy Orton
In the build-up to the US Title match, I mentioned that Joe was able to defeat Styles at the Royal Rumble, but that was only with some outside help. In a match in which Styles was having the upper hand, an RKO outta nowhere was easily able to turn the tables, allowing Joe to lock in his Coquina Clutch and win the match. The following weeks would have seen Randy revealing Styles as his new victim, with not only harming Styles and costing him his matchups but also doing the same to the Good Brothers, who are associated to Styles. He will even cost Styles a shot at the US Title at Fastlane, increasing the intensity of their feud.
These two have collided only once on a SmackDown live episode before WrestleMania 33. Orton was a face back then, while Styles was the heel. With the roles switched now, this would surely refresh the feud between the two men. If their initial encounter is anything to go by, we can have a serious match of the night contender in this match. A Hell in a Cell, No DQ or a Last Man Standing stipulation would only make the match better. These two have solid in-ring chemistry, and an excellent 20-minute match between the two with Styles coming out on the top would be the perfect way to end this match. The following weeks can see Orton making a switch to the red brand, while Styles will continue to wrestle in ‘The House that AJ Styles built.’
Winner – AJ Styles
