10 Great Wrestlers Who Couldn't Have A Good Match Together

10. AJ Styles & Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens and AJ Styles are two of WWE's most popular performers, and their respective track records suggested that they should've been able to produce a great series of matches without breaking a sweat. Sadly, their feud didn't come close to delivering to the extent it should have, and will ultimately go down as one of 2017's more disappointing rivalries.

Backlash was their strongest bout, but was mired by a lame finish that saw Styles, the consensus best wrestler in the company, get counted out after trapping his foot in the announce table. This was followed by a pedestrian midcard plodder with a horrendous botched finish at Battleground, a forgettable TV match on the 1 August episode of SmackDown, and a SummerSlam bout that was all about special referee Shane McMahon, not the participants.

The rivalry concluded with another bang average match on 22 August, and while rarely bad, the bouts didn't come close to meeting expectations. This was partly down to the booking, but remove this from the equation and you'd still be left with a string of disappointing performances. Though fine on a technical level, the Styles vs. Owens matches rarely broke out of second gear, proving that in-ring chemistry is never guaranteed, even between two of the world's finest.
