WWE tries to book huge cards for WrestleMania these days, if you could have some of your personal dream matches on the show, what would you pick?

"If I could pick any matches I liked for Mania, I'd have AJ Styles vs Shawn Michaels. The rumours going round before the Rumble about that were exciting.

Though I heard an interview with Shawn recently where he said he'd love to work with Samoa Joe because he'd find the chemistry more interesting, and I think that would be good too. He was only speaking hypothetically sadly, I don't think it was a tease.

John Cena vs The Undertaker as well, it just seems absurd that they didn't do it years ago, and that they might not ever get round to doing it again. Surely every year could be Taker's last match? He's in his fifties, it seems such a shame that match might never happen.

One match I always really wanted was Brock Lesnar vs Daniel Bryan. I think it would have been an amazing David and Goliath story. Daniel Bryan was getting the best reaction of anyone in years. I was a big fan of his, so it was a very difficult time to watch when he wasn't getting his chance!"
