My Top 5 AJ Styles Matches

Intro,

With The Phenomonal one out injured at the minute. I figured this would be a good time, to take a trip down memory lane, and take a look at some of his best matches, please bare in mind that these arte just my opinions, and if yours are differant, then that's great.

5 Aj Styles vs Roman Reigns Extreme Rules 2016.

As the 2010's had barely got out of the mid stage, emerging talent was being spotted, from the like of. Kenny Omega. The Young Bucks. Jay White, and. Prince Devitt, better known as Finn Balor, as these names painted their own canvas, in NJPW. But, it was a face that left that place, that would go on to enrich his own legacy. AJ would end up in WWE, after leaving NJPW in late 2015, he would debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble, and would go on to excellent feuds, with the likes of. John Cena. Randy Orton, and of course. Roman Reigns. His match at Extreme Rules 2016 against Reigns, was held under the stipulation of an Extreme Rules match, and this was the perfect levy, to break in a new Champion. AJ's counteractions with Roman were great, and their back and forth chemistry was fantastic. Roman, at this point was a million miles away, from becoming my Tribal Chief, but as an overall in ring workman, all the tools were there, even if he was swimming in a pool of hatred.

4 AJ Styles vs John Cena Summerslam 2016.

In annals of Summerslam history. I feel this match gets heavily overlooked. Both men had fantastic chemistry, and on this night, in my opinion, they brought the house down. I love this match.

3 AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura IWGP International Championship NJPW Wrestle Kingdom

I you have never seen this match, then I urge you to go and watch it right now, because it's a modern day run through of styles meshing, in order to make a captivating story. I have no other words.

2 AJ Styles vs Kazuchika Okada NJPW October 12th 2015

Even though both men are going a stagnant periods in their respective companies at this minute. This match was the reason that AJ became a hot free agent, their chemistry, and, physicality on this night, was perfect, and in the years since. Okada has managed to out do this, with matches against Nito, and Omega. I feel it was this match, that put him over as a star. AJ made someone a star, on his way out of a company, showing what a real man, and competitor that he is.

1 AJ Styles vs Kurt Angle TNA House Show Wembley Arena January 30th 2010

Apologies in advance for this one guys, because i'm going to come across a bit biased, well, because I witnessed this one in person. House shows are a lot of fun, and this was the embodiment of that, these too worked for over 30 minutes, for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. This. Was perfect.
