#2. Kurt Angle and AJ Styles - WWE TLC 2017

AJ Styles made his WWE debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble and many WWE fans wondered when The Bullet Club would come together since Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, and Finn Balor were all part of WWE at the time.

Balor was once the leader of The Bullet Club ahead of Styles, but the two men didn't have many chances to face off on WWE TV with their first bout coming by complete accident.

Ahead of TLC back in 2017, Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt were reported to be struggling with a "viral infection" which meant that they couldn't be cleared to compete as part of the show.

Bray Wyatt was originally scheduled to face Finn Balor as Sister Abigail took on The Demon King, but AJ Styles was drafted in as his replacement, and instead, fans were handed one of their fantasy matches.

Reigns was scheduled to team with The Shield in their 5-on-3 handicap match against The Miz, Braun Strowman, Kane, Cesaro, and Sheamus but The Big Dog was replaced by RAW General Manager Kurt Angle.
