#5 Kofi Kingston vs. AJ Styles vs. Sami Zayn (SmackDown, May 7th)

The "Wild Card" rule has been a horrendous mess. Horrible. Hot garbage. Yet, it at least gave us this match (and one other soon to come) on the second night of its otherwise ignominious existence.

This was a thrilling match that made Kofi Kingston look like a bigger deal than he had been before. AJ Styles had been champion for over a year and looked like a serious threat, while Sami Zayn was the unpredictable component to the match.

Nevertheless, Kofi Kingston fought hard and pinned Kevin Owens' best friend. His Money in the Bank challenger looked enraged.


#4 Matt Riddle vs. Adam Cole (NXT, May 8th)

This match didn't quite live up to its hype, given the two men involved in it, but it was still a banger of a showing. Matt Riddle had Adam Cole scheming to find ways to outmatch his physically superior opponent, but this ultimately backfired when Roderick Strong's interference didn't go so well.

Adam Cole lost, and he blamed his ally in the Undisputed Era for it, teasing a split. It remains to be seen whether that actually happens, but this was a good match that set up a smart story.
