AJ Styles created the Styles Clash because he wanted a finisher that didn't involve coming off the top rope. Though he is quite adept at aerial maneuvers, he worried that by the end of the match he would be tired and the ropes coated in a sheen of sweat, so he wanted something more reliable that he could still pull off under those conditions. He has been using the move since 2001.
