WWE Championship: A.J. Styles [c] vs. Bray Wyatt (2017 Royal Rumble Winner)
This would be the closing match, and would be centered on the story of the serious clashing with the outlandish. As the winner of the 2017 Royal Rumble match, Wyatt would play his own style of mind games against Styles, while the Phemonemal One would try continuously to ignore Wyatt and act as calm as possible.
Over time, however, Wyatt would eventually get into Styles’ head, which would allow Wyatt to have a trump card to use against Styles’ superior technical ability and versatility in the ring.
Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?
This would be an incredible match, with Styles carrying Bray in the same way CM Punk carried the Undertaker at WrestleMania XXIX. Styles would keep trying to pick apart one body part after another, but Bray would keep getting up, as if under the influence of some supernatural force. Each time Styles would try and use his experience, skills or versatility, Wyatt would counter with the pure power and explosive force that have become his calling cards.
Ultimately, Styles’ versatility would prove to be his downfall, as he’d go for a Phenomenal Forearm, only for Wyatt to reverse it into a high-speed Sister Abigail for the pin and the win. This would serve as the crowning moment of Wyatt’s career, as he’d avenge his previous WrestleMania losses and humiliations by closing the show as the new WWE Champion.
