The two have been at loggerheads on the social front for quite some time now, giving birth to the ideal build-up that a fight of this stature may require. However, it is again up to the promotion and the matchmakers to decide what’s ideal and what’s not. Thus, unless a positive output in relation to this potential match up emerges, everything will remain a mere speculation.
