For the WWE World Championship: AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe
Trending
At one point in time it felt that much like Styles' anticipated contest with Nakamura at Wrestlemania 34, this one might just never go beyond the first gear. Then these two men dug deep into the well of their past and produced an ongoing instant classic. Joe even dangerously teased the muscle buster, while Styles just about hit a Styles Clash, he just couldn't hook his legs in properly.
Either way, both men traded vicious strikes en route to a contest marred by disqualification. Just look at the smarts of Samoa Joe. Not only did he lean into the presence of Styles wife before the match started, he did so midway when it seemed like he could lose.
With a bleeding Styles there to hear Joe make a vulgar taunt at his wife, all hell broke loose. Styles opted for the disqualification most likely giving Joe a second fresh chance and letting him sink his claws into his mind. Between all that was a riveting contest reminding us why TNA was once WWE's biggest competitor since the Attitude Era.
If only we can get Christopher Daniels for the next one. Make it happen, WWE.
AJ Styles hits a chair shot on Samoa Joe to get disqualified and lose but retains the WWE World Heavyweight Championship!
