AJ Styles will come in to WrestleMania 33 as the WWE champion

Vince McMahon is planning to move AJ Styles to WWE Raw in 2017, possilby reviving the 'Bullet Club' once more.

AJ Styles has made a meteoric rise to the top of the WWE after his stints with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and Ring of Honor. Within a few months of joining the promotion, he had already dethroned Dean Ambrose to become the WWE champion. However, after losing the title at the Royal Rumble to John Cena, Styles will be looking to regain it at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.

At the moment, all wrestling fans know for certain regarding the world title match at WrestleMania is that 2017 Royal Rumble winner Randy Orton will be taking part. While Cena is the current titleholder, there is a slim chance that he is stated to go out of the Elimination Chamber with the championship in tow. Instead, all signs are pointing to Styles reclaiming the crown and defending it at "the grandest stage of them all."

There is speculation that Styles will face Shane McMahon in a singles match at WrestleMania 33, according to Wrestling Inc. However, chances of this are slim especially now that there are talks of McMahon facing Triple H at the event due to Seth Rollins reinjuring his knee. Styles is also deserving of a much bigger matchup at WrestleMania and the WWE can reward him by pinning him against Orton in a world title bout.

Dean Ambrose and Baron Corbin are also set to challenge for the WWE championship at Elimination Chamber. However, it is unlikely that they will win the match given that they look poised to duke it out for the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania instead, according to the Bleacher Report. The Miz will also take part in the match, but the odds are stacked against him winning it.

The only other person who would make sense to win the Elimination Chamber is Bray Wyatt. From a storyline perspective, it would make sense, as it would be the perfect opportunity for Orton to turn heel against The Wyatt Family. From a business standpoint, it would also make sense for Wyatt to win the title at Elimination Chamber, as he has faced off and even defeated some of the biggest names in wrestling, but has yet to win a singles title in the WWE.
