If the success of AJ Styles' evening will only be judged on the result of his Champion Vs Champion clash with Brock Lesnar, it's safe to say Survivor Series won't be his night. But as real life SmackDown Live! head honcho Road Dogg has tweeted before, wins and losses don't really matter anyway. And this couldn't be more true as 'The Phenomenal One' tests his mettle against an ungainly 'Beast'.

'The Champ That Runs The Camp's job on Sunday isn't to pin Lesnar's shoulders to the mat, but to merely make anybody believe he might. Brock's been either unwilling or unable to get out first gear in singles matches with Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman this year, and it's not helped either's upward trajectory.

Fortunately, both have recovered their killer auras, but Styles needs not to lose his in the first place. He's the WWE Champion and with good reason - he's the best wrestler in the company and one of the best in the world. Brock is, at least, the most realistic top guy the company has on the books. Both belts are well represented, but it's hard to see Lesnar laying down just yet when there's a 'Big Dog' to feed at WrestleMania.
