10 Wrestling Matches You Won't Believe Happened In 2016

2. John Cena Vs A.J. Styles

Before 2016, we would never have imagined in our wildest dreams that the face of WWE would square off against the face of TNA in a WWE ring at one of the biggest WWE shows of the year. And yet, that is precisely what happened this year.

As if the sight of A.J. Styles in a WWE ring this year wasn't surreal enough, the fact that he challenged John Cena to a match was even more stunning and something that even just over a year ago would have been unthinkable.

Even more incredibly, A.J. Styles won both their matches. The first at Money in the Bank was via screwy means but the second at Summerslam was via pinfall, clean as a whistle. It was one of many highlights in an incredible year for Styles, who has taken WWE by storm, and winning this dream match was what pushed him over the edge and set him up as the 'Face That Runs The Place' en-route to a WWE championship win.
