10 Wrestlers Who Do The Same Spot EVERY TIME They Wrestle Each Other
1. AJ Styles & Daniel Bryan - This Dropkick
Wrestlers capable of wrestling beautiful matches rarely get to construct and assemble them in WWE, particularly not if they're just for television. Fortunately for the company, Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles are so good doing the above against each other, that they've managed it twice.
In 2018, the pair battled over the WWE Championship in an incredible surprise of a SmackDown main event just days before the Survivor Series. In a contest loaded with consequences, Bryan turned heel in defeating Styles to end a year-long run with the title and steal his huge rematch with Brock Lesnar at the following Sunday's supercard.
Just under two years later, the pair battled for the vacant Intercontinental Championship in a tournament final that may as well have taken place in front of 80,000 fans rather than the 80 NXT extras inside the Performance Center for the frenzy it managed to whip up by the end.
In both cases, WWE cameras captured Styles' dropkick (and Bryan's subsequent sell) so wonderfully that they used it as the preview image for the match online. The matches couldn't have felt more divergent despite these identical shots, but then that's the magic of those that are best at this.
