This epic clash over the richest prize in the game occurred at the Royal Rumble and had nonstop action. The frantic pace never ended and the bout had memorable spot after memorable spot and was truly a showcase for "The Architect." It all came to an end when Lesnar hit Rollins with a thunderous F-5 to retain his belt.

1) Sasha Banks vs. Bayley

Though it's technically an NXT bout, it has to be mentioned. You can really pick and choose from any of their clashes, but the one at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn really put the Divas on the map. Hopefully the main roster will follow suit soon. Bayley's storyline of finally overcoming the odds to win the NxT Women's Championship proved that in this day and age there can still be great angles in wrestling. The match was a five-star encounter and the gripping storyline only helped propel it to the next level.
