Best Match - Universal Championship Match: Seth Rollins (c) vs. AJ Styles at Money in the Bank 2019

Two of the best performers of this generation tore the house down at Money in the Bank.

Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston could have easily taken this accolade, but due to the fact that Styles vs. Rollins was a dream match, they get the nod.

While it's all well and good to consider a pairing a dream match, it only matters if the two performers meet the expectations that everyone has for the match. Rollins and Styles certainly delivered on those expectations at Money in the Bank.

After Rollins wrestled the Universal Championship away from Brock Lesnar, he was going to need an exciting first challenger.

As he did after Roman Reigns won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 32, Styles provided that challenge.

Styles earned the right after winning a Triple Threat and then a singles match with Baron Corbin for the right to face Rollins at MITB. Styles won and we all got the dream match we wanted.

The match was filled with counters, near falls, and several top-rope moves. In the end, Rollins was able to pick up the win with his signature curb stomp after Styles attempted a Styles clash.

It was a perfect example of two of the best wrestlers in the world simply wrestling. The storylines didn't matter because the match was, pardon the pun, phenomenal.
