10. AJ Styles vs. Edge

Edge fans have been fantasy booking matches like this from the moment the veteran returned to the company at Royal Rumble 2020. Two years later, AJ Styles is still high on many a most-wanted "dream matches" list - which is understandable.

Though his own career is on the downswing as far as being a headliner goes, AJ remains one of his generation's greatest and most influential wrestlers. He's as safe as they come but still able to deliver at a high level. It helps, too, that he's over with the crowd, has credibility as a former world champion and somebody with a strong body of work in this company, and is a guy who can be shuffled up and down the card without losing any of this.

AJ just wrapped his Omos feud. At the Rumble, Edge and Beth Phoenix concluded their rivalry with The Miz and Maryse. In WWE's eyes, 'The Rated-R Superstar is a must-feature at WrestleMania, so he's going to get something big.

How about a two-month rivalry with an antagonistic Styles, culminating in a popcorn showdown in Dallas?
