#4 Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles — Extreme Rules WWE Championship Match: Extreme Rules

There was a lot of talk for a lot of years about whether AJ Styles “belonged” in WWE.

Well, consider this match the answer to that sewing-circle speculation: The Phenomenal One lived up to every inch of his reputation in a battle with Roman Reigns that spilled across the entirety of the arena, leaving bones and tables shattered in its wake.

Reigns, for that matter, lived up to every bit of his own reputation in retaining when all was said and done, but it was Styles’ showcase that left everyone talking. Not only did he show he belonged, he rendered the idea that he didn’t utterly absurd in hindsight.
