Review taken from WWE Summerslam 2016 Review (Part 1)
AJ Styles vs. John Cena
After a fluke victory over John Cena at Money in the Bank, AJ Styles gets a chance to right his wrongs here at Summerslam in one of the biggest marquee matches of the night. I am going to include myself when I say this match gets completely overlooked by so many because of their classic bout at Royal Rumble 2017. For whatever reason, Cena and Styles had some unreal chemistry and truly brought the best out of each other like no other. The case was no different here, the crowd was absolutely electric for the action here that really just saw them stepping on the gas from the very beginning. The nearfalls throughout the match were a joy to watch and seeing Styles kick out of an Avalanche Attitude Adjustment nearly blew the roof off the building. Despite Cena kicking out of everything Styles gave him, Styles finally sealed the deal after hitting a Styles Clash and immediately following it with a Phenomenal Forearm. Styles pins Cena clean. Incredible performance from the two and a shame that this match has become almost forgotten.
Winner: AJ Styles
Rating: ****3/4
