#4 The Demon vs Sister Abigail (2017)

Thank god this did not happen.

Speaking of the meningitis virus burning a hole through the TLC card in 2017, one of the most outrageous matches in WWE history got canceled. Bray Wyatt was also struck down by the illness, rendering him unable to make the show. He had been embroiled in a never-ending feud with Finn Balor, one that started with so much promise. The former NXT Champion defeated Wyatt at SummerSlam and No Mercy, with and without the face paint respectively.

Just when we thought the feud was through, Bray Wyatt transformed into his supposed alter-ego, Sister Abigail, challenging the Demon to a final match at TLC. Balor was going to sport black and orange paint, probably for the full Halloween effect. The match would have been a guaranteed trainwreck, something that would have likely derailed Wyatt's momentum for good. So the virus he got could possibly be looked at as a blessing in disguise because here he is, days away from wrestling his comeback match at SummerSlam as the Fiend against, guess who, Finn Balor.

Much like the Shield situation, WWE had to come up with something big to make up for Wyatt not being cleared. SmackDown Live's AJ Styles flew in from Santiago, Chile to wrestle Balor for the first time in a WWE ring. It was certainly expected, but they both tore the house down.
