Could Styles vs Shane be a showstealer?

I think this match is a waste just like Cenas Mixed Tag Team Match but looking back at Shanes History we may actually see a Angle vs Shane 2.0 Match.
What do you think? I think with a No Holds Barred stipulation that match could actually work.
Lets remember that Styles is similar to Angle both could/can work with anyone and put a great match on to the table carrying the ass of the bosses son should not be a problem i think.

Styles deserves better but lets face the facts he was never ment to be in a Mania Main Event and i think with his 39 years its way to late to headline Mania 34,35 or 36...

I'm not as down on it as others but to really make it work there has to be something at stake. Loser leaves SD! or maybe if AJ wins he gets a shot at any title he wants or something, I don't know. But they have to do something to make us believe that both guys want the other to not win, because I'm not sold right now on what Shane's motivation for even accepting the match would be.

I've said it before, you know how back in the day they used to have no holds barred matches that went up the rampway and up to the stage??

What if Styles and Shane did something similar, where they fought alllllll the way up the ramp, did some spots on and off the stage, and came back down to the ring again??

They've never taken advantage of having a huge entranceway at Mania for something like that, it would be different and cool!

AJ can carry anyone, it'll need a stipulation such as no holds barred though to give Shane a chance/allow the spots such as coast to coast which are trademarks of a Shane match.

There has to be a reason for AJ and Shane to actually fight. The fact that Orton has decided he will take his WM main event can be a catalyst, AJ will blame Shane for letting it happen or we might even see Orton/Styles on SD with the WM main event on the line, Shane could ref it to ensure a fair result but end up costing AJ.

I'd like to see AJ main event Mania, but barring any injuries he'll still be just as capable of doing so come next year's WM regardless of his age.

I really can't see it. Styles could wrestle a cabbage and get a decent match out of it but Shane is well past it as a wrestler, if the match has a stipulation then maybe there's a chance that it'll be good but despite the questionable nature of the probable lineup this year, i doubt it'll be the standout of the card.

Its obviously never going to be a mat classic, but if they are creative it can easily be the best (or at least most entertaining) match on the show. But it will obviously have to be very spot heavy.

If they sprinkle in about 5-6 unforgettable spots in the match, people will look past Shanes punches or all the obvious miscues that will happen when you put someone like Shane against someone who performs to the high level of AJ Styles.

Imagine a match with a springboard 450 to the outside through a table, a Phenomenal Forearm to the outside through a table, a flying elbow to the outside through a table and a dive off a cell or the titantron?

Both guys are willing to do some pretty reckless shit to get the match over so I think the spots will be insane.
