AJ Styles is arguably at his best when he's able to show how great he is at selling. This spot made him and Baron Corbin look awesome, and it gave Raw one of the best sell jobs we've seen in quite some time.

AJ went for a springboard move only to be cracked by a hard right hand from Corbin. Mid-air, Styles then went limp and landed on his left arm. That was 100x better than taking a flat back bump off the strike would've been. Corbin's punch looked devastating and AJ's landing awkward.

Stellar stuff.
