Brock Lesnar vs. A.J. Styles at Survivor Series 2017
Last night at Survivor Series 2017 Brock Lesnar defeated A.J. Styles in a Champion vs. Champion match for the ages. Brock Lesnar came into the match as the Universal Champion for RAW and AJ represented Smackdown as the WWE Champion. Brock Lesnar dominated early with suplexes and power moves but A.J. used his speed and quickness to off set Lesnar. When Brock attempted a running knee in the corner A.J. dodged it and Lesnar hit his knee and A.J. focused on Brock's knee and attempted a flying forearm leading to a cover, which Brock kicked out of. When A.J. attempted a second flying forearm Brock caught him and delivered an F-5 to A.J. Styles. Brock walked out as the winner and A.J. gained more respect from the fans.
As a fan this was the classic big man vs. small man match with two of the very best wrestlers of this era. Brock is a beast and A.J. Styles is a great hybrid of wrestling and aerial ability. This is the type of match that WWE needs to focus on more with wrestlers that fans want to see compete against each other.
I haven't always been the biggest Brock Lesnar fan but he has delivered some of the best matches in the last five years against opponents like The Undertaker, Seth Rollins and John Cena, and Samoa Joe. Last night was another testament to why Brock is a once in a lifetime athlete.
With this match, Brock Lesnar and A.J. Styles have cemented their spots in the WWE Hall Of Fame in my opinion. Thank you Brock Lesnar, Thank you A.J. Styles, and Thank you WWE for this amazing match.
