#2 Worst: Good matches with awful finishes

Was this the worst match AJ Styles has wrestled?

The much-awaited encounter between AJ Styles and Kevin Owens was underway and picking steam but a strange roll up pin put an end to the proceedings. Natalya and Charlotte Flair were tearing it up and then suddenly, the Queen hit the turnbuckle and got pinned. Nakamura and Corbin were slugging it out when a low blow put Nakamura out of commission for the duration of the entire night.

As good as the wrestlers are in WWE today, if the storytelling itself isn't up to the mark, what is the point really? These flat finishes left us with a sour taste in our mouth. Here's what saved the show for us, to some degree.
