A.J. Styles has blown past the expectations of where he’d land to the vast majority of fans. He’s currently in a top program with John Cena, and has been booked in two pay-per-view main events. That’s pretty incredible to think about. While Vince McMahon will likely never make him his top guy, you get the sense that he respects his in-ring work tremendously due to the popular opponents he keeps giving him.

With Styles putting on great matches with everyone he’s stepped in the ring with, he could potentially pull a classic out of Lesnar. The Beast would likely toss him around with dangerous looking suplexes, and Styles would respond with his high-flying arsenal in a remarkable display of two distinct styles.

While the size difference is quite noticeable between the two, Styles offense, and the involvement of The Club, would make a victory by The Phenomenal One a possibility. If Lesnar was set on returning to deliver a memorable match, then there’s no one better than Styles to make that happen.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
