WWE WrestleMania 33: 5 Potential Opponents for AJ Styles

WWE.com

5. Baron Corbin

In has been an impressive year for The Loan Wolf since moving up from the NXT brand to the main roster last April. On his first night on the main roster, Corbin won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania last year.

From then on, Corbin became a one-man wrecking crew on the roster taking down anyone who got in his way. Corbin was drafted by Smackdown Live in the middle of the draft and has become of the biggest steals of the draft.

After winning feuds against the likes of Dolph Ziggler and Kalisto, The Lone Wolf has now set his sights on Championship gold. On Sunday he will try to make those dreams come close to being a reality when he enters the Royal Rumble match.

If Corbin wins the match it could set up a potential clash between him and AJ Styles at WrestleMania. The two crossed paths very briefly a few weeks ago when Corbin along with Dolph Ziggler challenged Styles for the WWE Championship.

While Styles is currently a Heel right now with his strong popularity he could easily turn into a face setting up this potential feud. Corbin has grown immensely on the microphone and in the ring and has shown that he could be the top Heel on Smackdown Live.

The two could have the classic David vs Goliath type of match and with AJ fighting as the underdog face, could really put on a solid outing. Styles speed and guile could match up well with Corbin’s brute strength and power.

While a match for the Intercontinental Championship seems more likely for Baron at Mania, clashing with Styles for the WWE Championship would not be the worse thing for WWE to consider.
