1: AJ Styles def. John Cena

This match was hands down, the match of the night, and also a contender for match of the year. If you thought their match at Money In The Bank was good, this one blew that out of the water. Both Cena and Style hit each other with everything but the kitchen sink in a match that will go down as an instant classic. Both contestants kicked out from each other’s finishers, including Styles kicking out of a middle-rope Attitude Adjustment. The match finally ended with a Styles Clash from AJ, followed by a Phenomenal Forearm.

Apart from the shock of Styles pinning Cena clean and beating Cena for the second time, Styles winning his rivalry with Cena is a huge deal for AJ Styles and it’s only a matter of time till he earns himself a WWE Championship match. Cena also ended the match by leaving his ‘Never Give Up’ armband inside the ring. Is that a sign?
