#10 WWE Champion Daniel Bryan defeated AJ Styles

Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles had a good match in the traditional way. This match looked less planned and looked very organic.

Also, owing to the incredible in-ring talent of both competitors this match was already a notch above most other matches, to begin with.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

This match saw well executed Yes Lock, springboard 450 splash and phenomenal forearm outside the ring.

The finish was again a disappointing roll up finish which is indicative that the feud is far from over. In this case, however, this should most certainly be a good thing.

Rating: 3.75*


#11 Dean Ambrose defeated Seth Rollins to become the new Intercontinental Champion

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins had a storyline heavy match full of emotional drama and appropriate action. Ambrose came out as a true heel in this contest trying to take every shortcut possible to beat his opponent.

Rollins, on the other hand, was on top of his game and showcased him compelling character work along with his excellent in-ring skills.

Ambrose at a point fakes to try and reunite with Rollins, but, Rollins after a few moments of doubt doesn't believe him and goes on to attack him.

He gets a little too emotional at the end trying to beat Ambrose and falls prey to dirty deeds for the finish. Dean Ambrose is the new Intercontinental Champion and the story seems interesting again.

Rating: 3*
