4) It Shows WWE Is High On AJ

One of the most important things to think about when looking at the match between AJ Styles and Shane McMahon is that it means WWE is extremely high on AJ.

Regardless of your feelings about Shane McMahon as a performer, he is still a big draw like we have mentioned. He is also the son of Vince McMahon.

Vince having AJ wrestle his son at Wrestlemania, gives us a big insight into how the company views the ‘Phenomenal One’. We know that AJ made Vince a fan when he gave him the WWE Championship so early into his WWE career. Now having him face off against Shane is another sign that WWE thinks the world of AJ as a wrestler and as a future star.

The match with Shane is validation for Styles as Vince only puts his son with people who he thinks have earned it. In this company, validation from Vince McMahon means everything.

You can choose to look at it as Vince McMahon is wasting AJ Styles against Shane. Or you can choose to view it as Vince McMahon thinks so highly of AJ that he will be putting him in such a high-profile spot at Wrestlemania and against his own son.

If WWE is willing to put AJ with Shane so soon, you better believe that they have big plans for him in the future.

Plus, love or hate the McMahon family, they are still royalty in the wrestling business and a match with any of them is a massive deal.
