#2 Daniel Bryan vs. AJ Styles
After a few fantastic TV matches, we all wanted to see it happen on pay per view, with more time and no commercial interruptions. We almost got it at Crown Jewel, but that didn't pan out. Now, we're finally getting it, and it's coming in a highly charged atmosphere.
Daniel Bryan has gone on a tear since he won the title. In truth, he's doing some of the best work of his already storied career. It's this NEW Daniel Bryan that AJ Styles will have to face and the stakes are going to be raised as a result. This will be added to their already stellar ring work together.
There's no reason why this shouldn't be a match of the year candidate. It can excel even if it gets bad placement on the card or not quite enough time. With those two things, it could be spectacular.
