AJ Styles vs. Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship, from the November 7, 2017 episode of WWE Smackdown

The list of top-tier talent that couldn't carry Jinder Mahal to a decent match includes Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, and Shinsuke Nakamura, so it's a little surprising that AJ Styles got a good match out of the lunk. Then again, Styles knows all about carrying poor wrestlers to good matches; he spent most of a decade doing that in TNA. The formula for success here is to have the only match Jinder Mahal can do but his opponent goes HAM with all he's asked to do. It's a good story told well hampered by that one performer is a broomstick.
