WWE's 2019 match of the year candidates so far

"If you believe, you can make it happen!"

#17 Daniel Bryan vs. Kofi Kingston (WrestleMania 35)

It all came down to this. Kofi Kingston had overcome all the obstacles and the heartbreak to get to WrestleMania. Now he had to really win the big one. It wasn't an easy task. Daniel Bryan was a formidable, ruthless champion.

Nevertheless, Kofi Kingston won.

It was basically full circle from Daniel Bryan's own cathartic victory at WrestleMania 30 five years prior. The place came unglued as Kofi Kingston celebrated in the ring with his two sons.

This should have been the main event of WrestleMania. Nothing else that night came close.


#18 Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles (Money in the Bank)

This basically felt like Vince McMahon throwing a bone at fans, because he knew that they wouldn't appreciate the three Baron Corbin title matches in a row that were coming afterwards.

Though the build to this match was decidedly lacklustre, the action was everything that fans had been hoping for. Styles and Rollins are two of the best ring workers in the world and they showed it that night. It was just the kind of Universal Championship match that fans had been hoping for once the red strap had finally been liberated from Brock Lesnar.
