10 WWE matches you never thought you would see in 2018
WWE has been on a rollercoaster of a ride in 2018, as their product has risen to new heights while falling to new lows all at the same time. While the quality of their booking has been disastrous enough, the matches that have taken place this year on WWE programming might be the polar opposite of that.
Even though 2018 may have been the worst year for WWE regarding creative performance, the performances of many wrestlers have made an impact on the best parts of this year.
From dream matches to highly anticipated rematches, WWE has produced many spectacular wrestling matches this year. But how many of those matches did you expect to see in 2018? As many of WWE's biggest matches, this year was totally unimaginable.
#1 John Cena vs Triple H
Triple H and John Cena are two of wrestlings greats, and while many thought their in-ring days with each other have ended, WWE threw a curve ball at us, as these two men battled each other at the Greatest Royal Rumble event.
Even though the event was a failure in the eyes of many WWE fans, it was clear that Triple H and Cena had the best match of the night as fans were fully invested in the action. While this was a match that no one really wanted to see, it was still a surprise at that point in those two legends careers.
#2 Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles
Daniel Bryan retired in 2016 due to his consistent injury problems, but after two years as the GM of Smackdown Live, Bryan shocked the world when he announced his return to the ring, so it was obvious that any match he competed in was totally expected.
So WWE gave fans the unexpected, as a slew of dream matches followed, and the one match that everyone wanted to witness was Bryan vs AJ Styles.
This programme between Styles and Bryan really did wonders for the WWE Title, Smackdown Live and even Bryan himself, as he needed to move on from the yes movement which had lost a lot of steam over the year, so WWE came up with the solution of turning the man heel and handing him the WWE Championship.
And that seemed to work as Bryan is truly well-realised heel, and his wars with Styles will go down as classics in Smackdown Live history.
