Don't get me wrong, I enjoy AJ Styles. I reckon most fans do. So when he was announced as part of the Fatal 5-Way for the number one contendership, I was excited.

Going up against the likes of Randy Orton, Samoa Joe, Rey Mysterio and Mustafa Ali, the match was guaranteed to impress, and it certainly did.

But when Styles won, I couldn't help but be overcome with this sense of deja vu, as we've already seen Styles and Bryan battle numerous times, and whilst they had great matches, it should've been time for someone else.

Perhaps Mustafa Ali could've shocked everyone by winning, and told his own Underdog story to match Bryan's own that took place in 2013. Either way, it would've been nice to have a fresh match at the Rumble.
