The special referee for this match, Baron Corbin made his way out first. KO was his classic self as he rolled out of the ring just as the match started. He took Styles out with a cheap shot and pounded the champ in the corner.

AJ gained control of the bout with a springboard elbow as SD went into a break! Back from Styles was grounded by KO's headlock. Corbin, in the meantime, was doing a fair job as the referee, thought he looked really weird in the black and whites.

AJ broke out of the hold and went for a Phenomenal Forearm. KO ducked but got caught in the Calf Crusher. Styles prevented Owens from reaching the ropes as he pulled him back in time. Corbin was forced to break the hold after he 'supposedly' saw KO touch the rope. Owens pushed Styles into Corbin. He took advantage of the distraction and rolled Corbin up for a nearfall.

The chaos between the three stars forced Shane McMahon to come out after both Owens and Styles knocked each other out with clotheslines. KO took advantage yet again of Corbin's heated argument with McMahon by low-blowing Styles.

He covered Styles, 1-2-NO! Shane pulled Corbin out of the ring at the knick of time. Corbin gave Shane the ref's shirt and left. needless to say, Owens was disgusted.

As Corbin was about to count to 3, Shane pulled Corbin out of the ring. A frustrated Corbin handed Shane the ref's shirt and walked away. Owens was absolutely disgusted!

It was too late for Owens now, as Styles made the best out of the situation and connected with a guillotine and then a Phenomenal Forearm for the pinfall win.

Result: AJ Styles retains against Kevin Owens

With KO's feud with Styles all but wrapped up, expect Shane McMahon to face the Prizefighter at Hell in a Cell while Styles could go up against Corbin at the PPV.
