#1 AJ Styles vs John Cena - Royal Rumble
AJ Styles vs John Cena was a proven draw. Their encounter in the past year saw Styles cleanly go over, however, the best was yet to come. Their clash at the Royal Rumble is one that people will talk about for years to come. Needless to say, it was an instant match-of-the-year contender.
The story started the previous year when both men stood in the same ring for the first time and the crowd got divided in half.

Their match stole the show. The storytelling was exceptional. "Big match" Cena knew he needed to bring his A game. Styles had proven he can have a great match with a broomstick if the need arises. The two men left it all in the ring. The veterans went back and forth to put the entire locker room to shame.
Two well-executed attitude adjustments got Cena the three count for the win.
Styles' best match of the year would be in a losing effort but it was truly one for the ages.
