AJ Styles and Seth Rollins put on one of the best matches of 2019 when they faced off against one another at WWE Money in the Bank 2019. AJ Styles would lose the match and then go on an extended hiatus because he's been battling injuries ever since then.

Because this was his big comeback match, AJ Styles would have lost another step in terms of momentum if he did not come out on top against the 'One and Only' WWE United States Champion, Ricochet. He needed to win this match a lot more than Ricochet did.

And after winning the match, AJ Styles has cemented himself as a top player in the company again. He was always a top guy, but the fans need a constant reminder of how good you are, time and again.

And Styles is the best!
