#5 AJ Styles vs. Daniel Bryan (SmackDown, November 13th)
Much like we saw the year before, there was a shocking WWE title change on SmackDown heading into Survivor Series. The match was far better than the previous year's counterpart as well. With AJ Styles wrestling Daniel Bryan in it, there was no reason why it wouldn't be.
The match flowed along the lines we'd seen between AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan before. There was some great technical wrestling and selling by both men. Unlike last time, though, Daniel Bryan had a new attitude. We just didn't see it until the very end of the match, which is what made the reveal so masterful.
After AJ Styles had a slight encounter with the comically weak referee, Daniel Bryan hit the champion with a low blow and followed it up with a running knee. He won the title then and there, to the shocked expressions of the crowd.
