10 Terrible Wrestlers With One Incredible Match
8. Jinder Mahal (Vs AJ Styles, WWE Clash Of Champions 2017)
Jinder Mahal's WWE Championship reign was terrible for a lot of reasons, but none worse than how so utterly dull his supercard clashes with the likes Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura were.
He might have bursting out of his own skin physically, but a personality has never once threatened to follow. Mahal was probably the biggest ever case of a title being required to make the man, and at no point did the project really look like a success until the one main event he managed after he lost it. As Mahal's polar opposite, Styles was the most cathartic choice to end the reign of error in a wildly popular Manchester moment, and followed up that victory with another tremendous showing in the company's final pay-per-view offering of 2017.
Mahal seemed open to being the best bit of luggage he could be, working the ribs for the heat and needing to do little else until Styles deservedly retained. That the pair went 23:00 and weren't mercilessly booed out of the building is perhaps the highest compliment to both 'The Phenomenal One' and Mahal's 2017.
