WWE WrestleMania 32: 10 Things You May Have Missed
9. Fans Bought Into Styles Clash Near Fall
AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho could at one point accurately have been considered a dream match for wrestling enthusiasts. In the span of just 3 months, people have now witnessed it happen on 4 different occasions. That's symptomatic of how quickly WWE's product moves nowadays.
And yet, despite feeling like a re-run, the match between both men at WrestleMania was a fun watch. Some were scratching their heads afterwards, confused that the recently-turned Y2J was the one to leave with the victory. That was more down to disappointment that AJ didn't win on his first 'Mania appearance however.
During the meat of the match, there were a few big near falls that acted as crucial bullet points in building excitement. Most notably, Jericho kicking out of the Styles Clash looked fantastic, and it seemed many in the front sections of the crowd believed it'd be the finish.
Truly believable near falls aren't entirely common nowadays, so this was a welcome touch. It seems AJ's big move has been relegated down from sure fire winner to simple trademark move status, but both guys had a lot of people fooled by using it here.
