That's unless somebody does something incredible in the final week or so of 2017, but it's looking unlikely.

WWE.com have revealed that the WWE Championship match between John Cena and AJ Styles is the best match of 2017.

The match did have it all. The two share great chemistry, The Phenomenal One was enjoying a great title run and had already got the better of Cena previously.

CENA VS. STYLES

Plus, nobody thought that Vince McMahon would ever make Styles the WWE Champion. So, seeing him defend it one whole year after his WWE debut was pretty special. While we also can't forget the fact that Cena defeated Styles to tie Ric Flair at 16 world championship victories.

According to WWE.com, Styles knew the match would be special.

He said: "That rivalry was something people wanted to see and thought would never happen. People knew what they were in store for: Two guys who bring out the best in each other.

"If you saw me before this match, you’d see a smile on my face because I knew something great was about to happen.”

Rounding up the top 10 include:

#2 - Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe vs. Braun Strowman — Fatal 4-Way Universal Championship Match (SummerSlam)

#3 - Tyler Bate vs. Pete Dunne — WWE United Kingdom Championship Match (NXT TakeOver: Chicago)
