#5 WWE Championship No Disqualification: AJ Styles (c) def. Samoa Joe
Match: Both men were more fired-up than ever at the start of this match, with Samoa Joe especially aggressive with a series of chops, elbows and heavy strikes. AJ Styles used his athleticism to get plenty of offence in but Joe countered multiple times with his sheer power. Once the weapons were introduced, Joe used the chair to good effect before he was dropped through a table by Styles, causing the challenger's knee to 'pop'. In the end, despite a resurgence from Joe, Styles made his opponent submit to the Calf Crusher.
Verdict: There was nothing 'glorified' or 'live event' about this. Styles and Joe had the crowd hooked from start to finish to produce one of the best WWE Championship matches in a very long time. Joe looked like a possible winner throughout, making this a lot more compelling than the rest of the matches on the card.
