3: AJ Styles & Alberto Del Rio have a great match
As the weeks go by, AJ Styles is looking like a bigger and bigger star. He’s having great matches on a weekly basis and crowd reactions are getting even louder. He carries himself like the main event star that he is and fans treat him like one.
Following his brilliant match with Sami Zayn on Raw, AJ faces Alberto Del Rio on Smackdown. Del Rio is so much more interesting when his League of Nations brothers aren’t with him. The League of Nations is a faction that just isn’t working.
Styles and Del Rio started the match with a series of back and forth and they matched each other move for move. Del Rio’s kicks in the match looked and sounded absolutely devastating. WWE really dropped the ball on Del Rio since his return last year. He’s one of the best wrestlers on that roster today.
There was a scary moment later in the match when Del Rio gave AJ a reverse top rope inverted superplex and AJ’s foot got stuck in the corner and he ended up landing on his neck. Thankfully he wasn’t seriously injured. The match ended when AJ reversed Del Rio’s cross armbreaker into a roll up and got the pin.
