One of the most anticipated WrestleMania 35 matches is the upcoming bout between AJ Styles and Randy Orton. Despite the build having been great so far, few have talked about it as a potential main event match. However, Mark Henry made the case for it on the latest episode of Busted Open Radio on SiriusXM.
“This is one of those matches that people look at and it’s not filler,” said Henry. “Both of these guys have been champions multiple times, and as much as we want to see Kofi and Daniel Bryan in the main event, and we want to see what happens with Becky, Ronda, and Charlotte, and Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar … This is a main event match!”
Henry then broke down the accolades of each star. “Randy Orton is not on the Mount Rushmore yet, but he’s slowly entering the top 10 or 15 of all-time. He’s that damn good. AJ Styles, from the time that he was an indie guy until now, he did everything at every level that there is to do. He’s become an elite champion. Not just a champion, but one of the guys that can carry the load. He’s carried [the company] for the past two years. So, why wouldn’t this be in the conversation as a main event match for WrestleMania?”
