No one has been better in WWE over the past year than AJ Styles, so WWE officials are planning something big for him that the WWE Universe isn’t expecting. Until recently, Styles was getting the short end of the stick as far as his position on the card for Wrestlemania 33 before WWE officials made some major changes to the card. For awhile, it seemed like AJ was being pushed aside for the John Cena vs. Undertaker match.
As of this writing, The Phenomenal One is set to defend the WWE Championship against John Cena at the WWE Royal Rumble in two weeks. The expectation is that Styles will be dropping the WWE Championship to Cena at the PPV, but WWE’s plans after the title change are unknown. However, we don’t know if that is even the plan anymore after Vince McMahon canceled Cena vs. Undertaker, so where does that leave Styles?
The WWE Universe is behind AJ Styles after his first year in WWE and is said to be pushing hard on social media for him to be part of the main event of Wrestlemania as a reward. Unfortunately, it’s being reported that Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar III is penciled in as the main event of the show, but WWE has big plans for Styles heading into the grandest stage of them all, and he may have an opponent almost no one saw coming.
