WWE: 5 best matches of 2019
3. Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles – Money in the Bank
In some shape or form of another, both AJ Styles and Seth Rollins have referred to themselves as the best wrestler in the world. Not just the best wrestler on their brand or in WWE, but on God’s green earth.
Call it fact or call it hubris, both men believe it to be true. Fans, critics and even their peers have gone to bat for both man’s position as the best in the entire world, often stirring up a modicum of debates on the subject in the process.
Rather than a match to prove who was the better wrestler, their contest at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View over the Universal Championship was a match where both men had the opportunity to prove that they deserved to be in those Best in the World conversations among the wrestling community.
In attempting to prove their worth, going counter for counter by the second in the process, both men delivered one of the best matches in all of the world to take place in 2019. A slick combination between sudden and high octane action with slowly built technical wrestling makes this an instant winner.
