Watching the six-man tag match, you couldn’t help but see a potential show-stealing matchup if the two men are ever on the same program: AJ Styles versus Cesaro.

The two wrestlers matched up a couple times during the bout, including the finish. It was just a sampling, but fans certainly got to see how they would match up: AJ’s speed versus Cesaro’s power. Both men have tremendous coordination and innovativeness, and fans respect and respond to both of their exploits in the ring.

Sure, on paper Cesaro isn’t on Styles’ level, as AJ is a multi-time world champion, but they could be another outstanding pairing if the opportunity ever presents itself.

Of course, that means if they’re ever on the same brand, we’ll get it as a throwaway five-minute special on a random episode.
