Who is AJ Styles facing at the Rumble? It looks like Dean is in a program with the Wyatts and Miz (who also attempted AJ Style's and Apollo Creed's leap frog, drop down, dropkick combo). It just leaves Corbin and Ziggler for the most part, who are both getting a title shot next week. It could also be the returning John Cena if he's not just appearing to throw his hat in the Rumble. If AJ faces Cena, I'd cringe. Not because they won't put on an amazing match, but because Cena would have gotten another title shot without earning it (when the them of this past Smackdown was you have to earn opportunities). I know Cena is going to eventually beat AJ, but he should at least work his way up to the title shot. If AJ faces Corbin, that's a random matchup that could work. If AJ faces Ziggler, I think that's embarrassing at this point. Ziggles is so devalued that I really don't buy him as a credible threat to the title. Adding Corbin to next week's match makes this intriguing. I guess it could be Miz, but I'm still a little confused as to what is going on with him. It looks like they are setting up a Miz/Maryse vs. Ambrose/Renee match (Mania?!?) so maybe Miz can face Styles at the RR. That would explain why Ambrose is kind of getting beatdown by the new Wyatts. For as entertaining as Smackdown is, they sure have no real depth in their roster right now. That's what happens when you're considered the B show I guess.  If it's the Undertaker...why? There is absolutely no reason for him to face AJ outside of wanting a real challenge. If it has to be Taker or Cena at the RR facing AJ, I hope AJ retains. No reason for a part timer to take the spotlight as the inevitable Cena vs. Undertaker match sells itself. Plus, that kind of leaves AJ out of the picture for a while. I'd actually have Taker vs. Cena vs. Styles at the Rumble, where Styles steals a win and Cena and Undertaker then blame each other to setup their match |

A blind man can see it's Cena this time
I know I have zero interest in that

More than likely Cena, with a slight chance of Undertaker.

I think he is going to start a program with Cena that leads into WM.

Know what, I'll go with Taker. AJ will win do to inference. Which will set up Taker's WM feud. Cena will win the RR & he'll win sweet 16 at WM.

I wouldn't mind a short program featuring AJ vs Bray Wyatt or Randy Orton but I doubt it will happen before WM with the Wyatt Family involve in the tag team stuff.

Taker.
Taker wins the belt, goes on to face Cena at WM. AJ will end up in a 3 on 3 at Mania of The Club vs The Shield.

I'm going with Cena solely for the fact that Cena gives AJ the best chance of walking into Mania still WWE Champion. If Cena fought Undertaker he'd more than likely lose the belt. If AJ loses the belt at Rumble he is basically in the CM Punk role of holding the belt during the time of year that doesn't matter only for it to be put on one of those "bigger names" during WreslteMania season. AJ deserves the title match at Mania. Plus I sort of like how AJ Styles is John Cena's kryptonite.
I just want all this mess to end with John Cena vs. Undertaker at Mania (if WWE is so bent on doing so) and AJ Styles walking in as champion against whoever.
Although, being a huge fan of Cena and AJ, that's the match I personally want at Mania where Cena finally overcomes and beats AJ Styles finally.

I hope it's Taker. Taker and Cena shouldn't be for the title at mania. I hope they keep AJ in the wwe title match as he's earned it. I'm also ok with AJ beating Taker at the rumble.

AJ sounds like the rock circa 03 claiming to have beaten everyone worth beating Undertaker could be his opponent just like Goldberg returned to be the someone Rock hadn't beaten.

I was also trying to figure out what SmackDown is trying to do. I feel so sorry for Ziggler because I don't think he's going to get the WWE Championship unless SD loses a number of top talent due to injury, etc. Corbin should be a long time away from the WWE Championship, imo. Miz vs. Styles is heel vs. heel which I don't think they'd do for PPV, and like you said Miz just stirred up the 5hit with Ambrose for now.
What I'd really like to see is AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton for the title. Once Orton drops the Wyatt gimmick I think they should put the title on him and then maybe let Ziggler take it off him since they already have history. For the Rumble, go ahead and let Ziggler/Styles so Styles can ride through as the champion and then have Undertaker challenge him that week on SD. Taker wins and then Cena/Taker at Mania yippee...

They should have waited until Mania for Cena/Styles in the first place... although if they planned Cena/Taker I can understand why they didn't. There are so many good match-ups still to make. |
