#2 Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles- Extreme Rules, 2016

Styles vs Reigns was indeed very extreme
Styles vs Reigns was indeed very extreme

Shortly after making his WWE debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble match, AJ Styles went on to receive a shot at the WWE Championship, which was being held by Roman Reigns at that point of time and this Extreme Rules showdown between the two men from two years ago, is indeed the perfect definition of the term ‘extreme’.

Both Reigns and Styles took full advantage of the Extreme Rules stipulation, as they brutally battered each other with weapons and brawled all over the arena, within a sea of full of passionate supporters belonging to the WWE Universe in New York. Throughout the contest, Styles took some of the nastiest bumps as he first took a bump on the preshow glass table and then took a spectacular backdrop from the German announce table that eventually sent him through the English announce desk.

There were also two outside interferences from Styles’ fellow Club stablemates Gallows and Anderson, whereas, Reigns received a helping hand from The Usos, who attacked Styles and put Reigns on top of him for the three count, only for ‘The Phenomenal One’ to kick-out of it in the last second. Gallows and Anderson, on the other hand, also did the same and much to their agony Reigns also kicked-out from their finishing maneuver to add further intensity to the story.

Reigns eventually won the contest following a brutal spear, as he caught Styles mid-air and the return of Seth Rollins after the match closed out the entire show in the best way possible.
