10 WWE Title PPV Matches Nobody Remembers
Nobody remembers these WWE Title matches
9. AJ Styles Vs. Rusev - Extreme Rules 2018
The wrestling world rejoiced when AJ Styles beat Jinder Mahal to reclaim the WWE Title on the November 7, 2017, episode of SmackDown.
The Phenomenal One was a versatile performer who seemed to get the best out of everyone and his year-long reign produced some diamonds against Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe and others.
While the King of Strong Style and Samoan Submission Machine occupied a lot of AJ’s time, the champ also defended against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a handicap match and in a frenetic Six-Pack Challenge match on pay-per-view.
You may remember those matches, but you probably won’t recall Styles putting the gold up against Rusev at Extreme Rules – despite the fact the match took place on Rusev Day (of all days).
It was by no means a bad match. In fact, I’d go as far as to say AJ and The Bulgarian Brute showed decent chemistry together and could have put on something special in a different setting and if they had a stronger build.
As it is, this was a routine defence for Styles on a middling show that nobody was in any hurry to watch back once it was over.
