10 Best WWE Matches Of 2016

1. AJ Styles vs. John Cena - SummerSlam

When John Cena and AJ Styles shared a ring for the first time ever on the May 30, 2016 episode of Raw, they didn’t need to say a word. The crowd went nuts just looking at them; two men that many thought would never cross paths were now inches away from each other. 

So just imagine what they were like when these two actually wrestled. For their second singles match, Styles and Cena went one-on-one at SummerSlam, but this had all the grandeur of the biggest of WrestleMania moments. 

All their recent history in WWE, plus their own individual legacies, came to the boil, resulting in a seismic atmosphere that was more than met by the action. This was like Zeus facing off against Atlas. 

That face Cena pulled when AJ kicked out of a top rope AA sums everything up perfectly - this was a match people simply could not believe was happening and it blew away even the loftiest of expectations. 

And what’s more? AJ won!
