The Bulgarian Brute and The Phenomenal One
The storytelling of Rusev's leg being targeted was smart on Styles' part because obviously then he wouldn't be able to lock in The Accolade

For a lot of fans, this match was a dream come true. You have Rusev, who has been extremely over for some time now. Then you have AJ Styles, who is one of the best wrestlers in the world. That way it's a win-win because no matter who picks up the victory, they both could be cheered and celebrated.

The storytelling of Rusev's leg being targeted was smart on Styles' part because obviously then he wouldn't be able to lock in The Accolade. They managed to keep a methodically consistent pace throughout the match.

When Aiden English removed the turnbuckle pad, most fans bought into the thought of "Hm, maybe Rusev could win". This was not the case as it only managed to work against Rusev, causing him to lose the match, and his chance to become WWE Champion.

Nevertheless, it was obvious that both men were willing to pull out all the stops and grab the gold.

Plus, any match that gets the "This is awesome!" chant, perfectly aligns with this list. Even though most fans were let down with the result, this was still an amazing sight to see. This was truly a masterpiece and a perfect example of high-end professional wrestling.
