1: Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles

A late contender for match of the year

Well, this was really quite something. AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan are two of the best wrestlers on the planet right now, and they delivered in a big way at TLC.

While Michael Cole's insistence on calling Bryan, The New Daniel Bryan has become pretty annoying pretty quickly, it must be said that Bryan's heel work is exceptional and he really got himself over as the top heel on SmackDown with his performance here.

The exchanges between the men were a thing of beauty, and the perfectly executed submission near-finishes were incredible.

Bryan winning with the roll-up really cements his place as an excellent heel right now, and I'd love to see him smugly refuse Styles a rematch on the basis that he has beaten him fair and square.

Also, something should be said for Daniel Bryan's exceptional facial expressions. It's a rarely appreciated art in wrestling, and Bryan is unrivalled at it right now.
