#2 To create more heat for AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton

Okay, so the promo segment between Styles and Orton from a few weeks ago was straight fire. But since then, there hasn't really been a segment or a match to build any further anticipation for AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton at WrestleMania. Which is a shame really because these are the two pillars of the blue brand.

And therefore, WWE may have just booked this match to create a little bit more heat between the two men before the big WrestleMania contest takes place. To remind everyone that the money match is between Orton and Styles, and not Angle and Styles. I don't know how far that was achieved through Orton's interference, but that was certainly the intention.

Somehow, the AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton match seems like a much smaller deal than it should be. I suppose it's because there's no title or stakes involved in this case.
