Top 5 WWE Universal Championship matches

#3 Seth Rollins (c) vs. AJ Styles (WWE Money in the Bank 2019)

Seth Rollins and AJ Styles tore the house down at Money in the Bank 2019

The WWE Universe saw the birth of "The Beast Slayer" at WrestleMania 35 as Seth Rollins conquered Brock Lesnar to win the Universal Championship. Unfortunately for Rollins, an equally talented and invigorated AJ Styles was gunning for the same title. At Money in the Bank, hardcore fans finally got the dream match between Rollins and Styles, which lived up to their expectations.

It was a back-and-forth encounter between two of WWE's most evenly matched performers. While the match was memorable, it was the ending moments that took it up a notch.

Styles countered the Stomp into a Styles Clash for the near-fall. The frustrated challenger went for the Phenomenal Forearm, but the champion countered with the Ripcord knee. He followed that up with a Superkick and the Stomp for the pinfall victory.

The Phenomenal One fell with an injury soon after the match, and the feud was cut short. WWE never followed up entirely on their fantastic encounter. They did face off in a handful of throwaway matches on RAW, but none could match the magic they created in May 2019.

Rollins' dream match with Styles was one of the best highlights of his Universal Championship run in 2019, and few fans would object to another high-stakes bout between the two stars.

I’m good with Rollins and Styles wrestling each other as much as possible the rest of 2019. #MITB
