The 2017 Royal Rumble takes place at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. The event marks the 20th anniversary of when Shawn Michaels won the WWF title from Psycho Sid in the same arena. Early rumors have started that WWE is trying to convince Michaels to return for one last match.

In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, AJ Styles discussed a potential match against the ‘Heartbreak Kid’ and who he wants to see get the call up to the main roster from NXT.

On a potential match against Shawn Michaels at the 2017 Royal Rumble:

“I would love the opportunity to wrestle him. I’d love to learn from him, but who’s to say if that’s going to happen. Right now, it’s all speculation and rumors that I’m finding out like everyone else is, but man, what a match that would be” (Source: Sports Illustrated).
