Top 10 WWE Matches of AJ Styles

#5 AJ Styles vs Roman Reigns- Extreme Rules, 2016

Styles vs Reigns from Extreme Rules was a great one

As expected, this one was another wild Extreme Rules brawl, with two superstars with very different in-ring approach competing for the WWE Title.

Heading into this match, the champion Roman Reigns had already scored a huge win over the challenger at Payback and much like their previous bout, ‘The Big Dog’ once again showed some tremendous display of his immense strength.

However, Styles, on the other hand, used his quick athleticism and speed to his advantage and countered all of Reigns’ offence in brilliant fashion.

There were some memorable moments throughout the match with Styles especially taking some crazy bumps all over the arena.

The interference from The Club and The Usos was also another solid touch to the Extreme Rules stipulation and the ending to the contest saw Reigns hit a brutal Spear in mid-air, as he went on to retain his WWE Title in some spectacular fashion.
