2. Daniel Bryan Vs. AJ Styles

The New Daniel Bryan is f*cking brilliant. AJ Styles wasn't lying on the go-home SmackDown Live when he addressed the man that took his title either - this is the real one, too.

No, the real Daniel Bryan isn't a man that uses his environmental high horse for evil, but he is a man that has the ability to get over as performer and pro wrestler alike in a version of the character that he can believably portray. It's been joyous to watch the WWE Champion sink his teeth into something after an almighty bite was taken out of his comeback by some dodgy booking and worthless feuds.

The only problem here is how little heat this particular clash has. Bryan's star has eclipsed AJ's since taking his title, rendering a return of the belt completely redundant here. Styles has been kept away from Bryan for the most part because there's a chance the sudden gap between them may have been exposed. Their job here is simply to wrestle around the issue. Luckily, it's what they do best.

Winner - Daniel Bryan
