Botch: During his WrestleMania 34 rematch against newly-turned heel Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles went to dodge his foe's Kinshasa knee strike by throwing a steel chair at his legs. That same chair rebounded on Shin's erm...shins and cracked AJ in the face. The blow bloodied him up bad.

How It Enhanced The Match: And it looked cool as sh*t.

Nakamura deserved some pain after cracking AJ in the nuts at 'Mania and repeating the trick before Backlash on SmackDown. By putting himself in harm's way and accepting a shiner of his own to shut Nakamura's pouncing finish down, Styles gave instant credibility to the Kinshasa's match-ending quality too.
