10 Best WWE Matches So Far This Year

#3 AJ Styles vs John Cena, Summerslam 2016

Having a great match at Money in the Bank, people weren’t sure about the singles rematch between Styles and Cena. Would Cena win as he had against others in their blow-off match? Was their chemistry at Money in the Bank a fluke?

Any of these doubts or others were blown out the water, with Styles and Cena delivering an instant classic that stole the show and is definitely a contender for Match of the Year.

With a great pre-match promo, and awesome offence produced by both men, this match was awesome. The hot crowd made this match have that big-fight feel, with duelling chants of AJ Styles and Let’s Go Cena ringing throughout the contest in the Barclays Center.

The best sequence of the match was when Cena hit an AA from the middle rope, covered Styles… 1,2, kickout. The Barclays Center erupted in cheers, which then transformed into a YES! chant.

To quote Enzo and Cass, you can’t teach how to evoke that kind of reaction. An instant classic between two of the best in the world.
