10 Grand Moments We Need To See At WrestleMania 33

10. Styles Smash

One of the more controversial bouts on the WrestleMania card is the contest pitting former WWE Champion AJ Styles against Smackdown commissioner Shane McMahon. Styles has easily been WWE's MVP over the past 12 months, but instead of finding himself in a situation where he can deliver a classic, he'll be taking on a 47-year-old non-wrestler. As for Shane, he may be in great shape, but he's looked particularly incompetent (and even dangerous) in his recent outings

Odds are that typical McMahon pride will keep the bout from being too one-sided - even if Styles wins, McMahon will likely get far more offense than he should and the victory probably won't be clean. However, if Styles were to really annihilate Shane - along the lines of some of his beatdowns of James Ellsworth - it would prove that "The Phenomenal One" is more than the typical cowardly heel who can't back up his tough talk.

A devastating beatdown followed by a stretcher job for Shane wouldn't just be memorable - it would cement Styles as the most dastardly heel in the entire company and clear a path for him to reclaim the WWE Championship.
