WWE Elimination Chamber 2020: 5 Potential finishes to AJ Styles vs Aleister Black

AJ Styles and Aleister Black are ready to take things to the ring again this week as the two will come face to face in a match at Elimination Chamber. However, the stipulations will be very different for this one as it will be a No Disqualification match.

Styles has already attacked Black backstage with his crew and then stacked up the odds against him during their match on RAW this week.

The match led to Black's first loss on RAW, something that won't fit well with The Dutch Destroyer.

Black has already run through many opponents during his time on RAW and SmackDown with Cesaro, Murphy, and Erick Rowan being the most notable Superstars.

He will have the odds against him again as The O.C. will look to take advantage of the stipulation.

#5 AJ Styles wins clean

Styles defeated Black after The O.C. weakened him

AJ Styles is an excellent wrestler and entertainer. In fact, he is regarded as one of the best there has ever been, and there is no doubt about that.

He played his role as a heel extremely well by attacking Aleister Black backstage and then making him fight Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows back to back on RAW before facing The Dutch Destroyer and defeating him.

Black is one of the newer crowd favorites of the WWE Universe, and they have been looking for him to get a push and possibly get in position to win a major title.

However, this battle won’t be an easy task for Black as compared to his previous battles with Cesaro, Murphy, and Erick Rowan

At Elimination Chamber, Black will look for his biggest victory yet in WWE, but things won’t come that easily for the former NXT Champion. With that in mind, we could see the creatives hand Styles a clean victory against all odds at the event even though it’s a No Disqualification match.

This could happen as the company will look to build The Phenomenal One as a big force on The Road to WrestleMania for his run-in with The Undertaker.

#4 The O.C. help Styles win

The O.C. has always made Styles opponents have a torrid time

It would make more sense if AJ Styles continues to build himself as a major heel on RAW.

The company has been feeding Styles some of the newcomers for some time now to build him as one of the biggest heels on the mid-card. In fact, Styles has run through many younger talents including Cedric Alexander, Ricochet and Humberto Carrillo over the course of the past few months.

Similarly, Aleister Black is one newcomer who has a lot of backing from the WWE Universe and fans want to see him succeed for some time now and rise up the ladder quickly.

WWE could go the other way on this Superstar too as they could allow Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to pile up the odds against The former NXT Champion and give Styles an unfair chance to win the match.

This would allow Styles to build further as a heel while protecting Black from another clean loss as outside help would make Styles’ victory more controversial.

The No Disqualification rules have been put in place for some reason, and this could be one of the major reasons why the creatives want this match to have a special stipulation.

#3 Aleister Black wins clean

One move could end it all for Styles

As mentioned before, Black has been the most promising newcomer on RAW over the last one year. He has been consistent in his matches, and even his squash victories over local talent have been fun to watch.

The Striking Man from Amsterdam has a unique character that helps him connect with the younger crowd along with the diehard ones, while his finisher Black Mass has been compared to the RKO which has made him a breakout star.

With all that in mind, WWE has been looking to push the Superstar to the moon at times, even though they’ve had him stuck in low and mid-card matches.

He’s run through Cesaro, Murphy, and Erick Rowan, and even though the two former Superstars have moved on to bigger stories after their losses to the former NXT Champion, it feels like the company is waiting to pull the trigger with Black.

At Elimination Chamber, we could watch the creatives to allow The Dutch Destroyer to give a striking performance, and fight through the stipulation and the numbers game to deliver a Black Mass to AJ Styles and pick up the victory.

It’ll be interesting to see how Black performs with the odds stacked against him in the face of The O.C., and we could get the best out of The Harbinger of Fury when all hope seems lost.

#2 A familiar face helps Black even the odds

Will Ricochet come out to help Aleister Black?

Aleister Black may have a lot on his plate come Sunday as he gears up to fight AJ Styles in a No Disqualification match. The stipulations are sure to work in Styles’ favor as he already leads a heel faction that does everything in its power to help their leader win matches.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson will be at ringside for the clash, and could even enter the ring to make it a handicap match since the stipulations will allow them to do so.

In this case, Black could look for some help from the outside to come to his assistance once all feels lost. Ricochet could be the man to come out and help his former NXT colleague and teammate as both men are no strangers to one another.

The One and Only has already had a rivalry with The O.C. in the past and is currently without any direction after his quick loss against Brock Lesnar at Super ShowDown.

The company could bring Ricochet to Black’s aid and have the two men team up once again as The Dutch Destroyer could go on an win the match. The two could then continue their partnership and go after The O.C. in a bid to take them out for good.

Alternatively, we could even watch Cedric Alexander pop up in the picture again as he has also been without any direction for some time and has had his feud with The O.C. in the past.

Eventually, we could watch Ricochet and Black join forces with Kevin Owens in his fight against The Monday Night Messiah and his disciples.

#1 The Phenom costs The Phenomenal One the match

Will, The Deadman rise to conquer Styles?

Before we head to Elimination Chamber, let’s take a look back at last week’s Super ShowDown event where we were treated to a few surprises.

One of the biggest surprises of the night came in the form of The Deadman who replaced Rey Mysterio in the Tuwaiq Trophy match and defeated AJ Styles to take the trophy home.

This week’s RAW saw The Phenomenal One mock The Undertaker before taking on Aleister Black and pinned him in The Deadman’s signature style to pick up the win.

This wouldn’t have fit well with a man who is arguably the most legendary entertainer of all time. During the clash between Black and Styles, we are convinced that The Dutch Destroyer will be at a disadvantage as The O.C. will look to interfere in the match and pile the odds against the former NXT Champion.

This could lead to The Phenom to come out once again, this time to lay down Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson in front of the entire WWE Universe before Black can hit the Black Mass on Styles for the victory.

After the match, we could see The Phenom lay down a challenge for The Phenomenal One for WrestleMania 36, effectively booking one of the biggest matches of the year.
