WWE WrestleMania: Top 5 unexpected show-stealers in WrestleMania history

#1 Shane McMahon vs AJ Styles (WrestleMania 33)

This exceeded expectations

AJ Styles had a stellar debut year in WWE, with his progress being rounded off by him winning the WWE Championship in September 2016. Styles held it until the Royal Rumble, where he dropped it to John Cena in an excellent match.

After that, rumours were floating around that his opponent for WrestleMania was going to be Shane McMahon. This filled fans' hearts with fear, as they took a match against the boss's son at 'Mania as a demotion for the Phenomenal One. This match had potential, but there were other bigger things on the card, matches with better build-ups.

However, AJ Styles vs Shane McMahon ended up opening the main show. This was an opportunity for these two to lay it all out there and steal the show from the likes of Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt and others.

Despite being a normal one-on-one match, it was very enjoyable. Some of the counters and transitions were slick as ever. So slick, that you couldn't tell that Shane O'Mac was a non-wrestler.

Styles rightfully won the match, and the night. Nothing would top this from a purely in-ring standpoint for the rest of the show. That's why they say if you're not on last, you'd rather be on first.
