It's no secret that Matt Riddle and AJ Styles are going to put on a clinic in the upcoming episode of SmackDown. But how exactly do they end such a match without hurting both of the SmackDown Superstars? That's a hard question to answer and will take some booking magic from the higher ups in the company.

One way of doing this is obviously to have a double count-out finish to the match between two of SmackDown's finest. Not only does that allow both Superstars to put on an absolute masterclass, it will also leave fans wanting for more between the two, which will hopefully parlay into a highly requested dream match between the two Superstars.

In the end, this may not be a popular decision, however, it does benefit the former NXT Superstar in the long term and protects Styles from a momentum-killing defeat as well. Furthermore, it sets the two Superstars on a collision course somewhere down the line, which will be interesting to see play out.
