12 WrestleMania 35 Match Predictions Following WWE Fastlane 2019

6. AJ Styles Vs. Randy Orton

AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton doesn't promise an awful lot on paper, which is precisely why it could be the sleeper hit of the entire 'Show Of Shows'.

It's perhaps the least convoluted match on the whole show should it get announced without any bells and whistles - and the angle up to this point implies that it'll be as straightforward as their back-and-forth attacks.

Orton's attempts to get into AJ Styles' head haven't failed as such, but 'The Phenomenal One' has known himself enough to be able to physically counter the devious mind games of the 'Apex Predator', and he'll try to do so definitively at WrestleMania.

On the night, the contest could succumb to stadium malaise, but both men carry a wealth of experience into the clash - if any long tenured performers can work a stripped back affair and keep an 80,000+ crowd glued, it's the two men with the least to gain from even trying.
