5 Potential Opponents for Undertaker’s WWE Return

2. AJ Styles

AJ Styles has risen through the ranks of WWE pretty quickly. It started with his Royal Rumble debut in January, carried over into his WrestleMania 32 match, and continued with a WWE World Championship win. He has held the belt ever since.

It’s possible that by WrestleMania 33, Styles will no longer have the belt. This could be via someone like John Cena getting his 16th reign at Royal Rumble, or potentially in another scenario. If that’s the case, this could set up Styles and Undertaker to go one on one at The Showcase of Immortals.

With The Phenomenal One already on SmackDown, seeds for the feud could be planted on November 15. Styles could cut an in-ring promo with Dean Ambrose and reference how he’s the greatest world champion and mock the previous legends that have held his belt. The lights could then turn off and the gong hits. When the lights turn back on, Undertaker could be standing in the ring and go face to face with Styles. He could chokeslam him and subsequently, depart the arena.

This could set up a WrestleMania 33 feud where a full-time wrestler finally gets his shot to face Undertaker. Styles has done plenty to deserve a top match in April and should be in line for someone like The Phenom.
