This is one of the more recent entries on the list. AJ Styles was on a roll after winning his first WWE Championship from Dean Ambrose at Backlash. Ambrose invoked his rematch clause at WWE TLC 2016, and both of the superstars put forward a memorable match.

This match made use of the entire arena. The two men fought everywhere - from inside the ring to inside the crowd. Unlike other matches on this list, this bout also focuses heavily on brilliant counter after counter.

However, no TLC match is complete without a mind-boggling spot. AJ Styles pulled one out here. After performing his signature moonsault - reverse DDT combo on Ambrose on the outside, AJ managed to hit a "phenomenal" 450 splash on the Lunatic Fringe on a table. That was undoubtedly the best moment of the entire match.

This clash also saw a surprising heel turn from James Ellsworth, who cost Ambrose for a potential future title match.

AJ retained his title after a tremendous match.
