The big story of 2016 so far has been the long-awaited WWE debut of AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble. Since then, Styles has been embroiled in a simmering feud with Chris Jericho (and to a lesser extent, the Miz). Each man has won one match apiece, setting up the dreaded rubber match for Fastlane. Its clear that Jericho a man who lost at WrestleMania to Fandango is at the stage of his career where he doesnt need to win a feud like this. In fact, he is likely battling Styles specifically to put him over. But will we see AJ emerge victorious Sunday or could it be an inconclusive match that sets up the final showdown at WrestleMania? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd4PGJjWutU Since debuting, AJ has teased his finisher, the Styles Clash, but he has rarely hit it. Perhaps Styles will land the move, vanquishing Jericho and then moving on to something different for Mania.
