7) A Big Curveball

The second match of the night was between AJ Styles and Luke Harper. The winner would move on to face Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania for the WWE Championship.

Many fans (including myself) thought that Harper would win the match and make it a triple threat between Wyatt Family members at Wrestlemania. In this scenario: AJ would go on to face Shane McMahon.

WWE tossed us a big curveball. Harper hit Shane McMahon with an accidental kick, AJ Styles won the match, earning his spot at Wrestlemania:
