AJ Styles had an extraordinary first year in World Wrestling Entertainment in the wake of appearing at the 2016 Royal Rumble. Fans appreciated various marquee matches, three wins over John Cena and a run as the WWE Champion. In any case, the majority of that fell when he lost the belt to Cena at the 2017 Royal Rumble this past Sunday.

It was about a month prior when there was a great deal of anticipation after who Styles would potentially confront at WrestleMania 33 in April. There was a reason to trust it could have been somebody like Samoa Joe or Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship. In any case, now without a title, there's a great deal of vulnerability encompassing the Phenomenal One, reports Daily Ddt.

Fourteen days back, Cageside Seats posted a rundown of bits of gossip. At the top was word authorities were thinking about setting AJ Styles against Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 33. This feels like somewhat of a drop for somebody who came into the WWE with a ton of buzz.

Gossipy tidbits usually fade away as time advances towards WrestleMania. Nonetheless, this one has developed some weight with AJ Styles getting out the SmackDown official half a month prior. Amid a Talking Smack section, Styles needed to know why he appeared in the back line and Cena was the main SmackDown star on the front column, reports Camelclutch Blog.

Knowing how the WWE functions, there is a decent shot the authorities will choose to make this into a storyline. Styles is one of the five hotshots who will challenge John Cena inside Elimination Chamber on Feb. 12. There are gossipier tidbits that Cena will drop the title before WrestleMania and have a lower-card match; perhaps with somebody like Dolph Ziggler or Baron Corbin.

However, with the storyline amongst Ambrose and The Miz including Renee Young, the WWE likely has a storyline set for that title. It would leave Styles with nobody else to quarrel with aside from Shane McMahon.
