10 Wrestlers More Suitable To Main Event WrestleMania 32 Than Roman Reigns

9. AJ Styles

Whilst it may be one the unlikeliest scenarios on this list, there€™s a good argument right now to say that the recently-arrived AJ Styles would be a more suitable candidate to headline WrestleMania 32 in place of Roman Reigns. Of course, this would require WWE to go all-in on Styles from the get-go, something which they haven€™t done with a debuting superstar for a long, long time. Whilst his immediate future seems to involve Chris Jericho, if handled correctly AJ Styles could easily be positioned as a genuine main event threat and somebody who wouldn€™t feel out of place at the top of the €˜Mania card. In order to do so, a decisive win over six-time World Champion Y2J would be a good place to start, but following that it would require WWE to really push AJ€™s achievements elsewhere. Even if TNA isn€™t referenced, you could still push home how this is someone who has spent over fifteen years honing his craft all over the globe, winning countless titles and defeating many a legendary name along the way. Unfortunately, for WWE to position a non-WWE-created talent in that way is about as likely as seeing a Hulk Hogan promo that doesn€™t feature the word 'brother'.
