In the main event of Backlash 2016, AJ Styles was poised to face-off against then WWE Champion Dean Ambrose.

The match itself was good, Ambrose did pretty well; he was having the best match of his tenure as champion.

Styles was being The Phenomenal One and doing what he did best, and him winning the WWE Championship was one of the highlights of 2016.

Nowadays we rarely see talent which has not been groomed by the WWE make it big in the wrestling business, but knowing Styles is not of them made him winning all the more memorable.
