Finn Balor vs AJ Styles

With Bray Wyatt out, we got treated to an absolute dream match as Finn Balor took on AJ Styles. If anything, this match was hard to follow. "This is awesome" chants started even before the bell rang.

The two men locked up as soon as we got underway to duelling chants from the fans in attendance. AJ and Finn traded takedowns before coming to a stalemate. Balor hit Styles with a spinning kick to the gut before AJ replied with a dropkick of his own.

The counters continued as Finn avoided Styles' offence and hit him with an enzeguiri from the apron. Finn then locked in a surfboard lock as the crowd roared in approval. Finn transitioned into another submission before AJ made his way to his feet and hit a chop. Finn bounced back off the Irish Whip and hit a dropkick off a sunset flip roll.

AJ replied with a snap suplex followed by a jumping knee drop. AJ followed it up with a leaping springboard forearm for a 2-count followed by a backbreaker. The "Demon" looked in trouble as AJ hit him with an enzeguiri. The two men then traded strikes and chops before Finn knocked AJ off his perch on the top turnbuckle with an enzeguiri.

As AJ landed on the floor, Finn launched himself over the top rope and onto AJ. Back in the ring, Balor hit a Slingblade. He looked to follow it up but AJ responded with an Ushi Goroshi. Styles signalled for the Styles Clash but Finn broke free in the nick of time. Undeterred, AJ hit a sitout facebuster. Finn didn't stay down for long as he hit a standing double stomp.

AJ used his veteran instincts to lock in a Calf Crusher out of nowhere. Unable to reach the ropes, Finn attacked AJ's head to break free. He then blocked a Phenomenal Forearm by pushing AJ out to ringside. Balor headed to the apron and followed it up with a PK, before heading to ringside and hitting a dropkick that sent Styles into the barricade.

Styles replied by dumping Balor over the German announce table. Both men beat the 10-count and scrambled back into the ring before accidentally taking each other out.

They got back to their feet and traded strikes before Finn hit a Pele Kick. Finn followed it up with a 1916 but Styles kicked out. AJ followed it up with a Pele Kick and a hurracanrana for a near fall of his own.

AJ missed a springboard 450 and Finn followed it up with the Shotgun Dropkick. He followed it up with a Coup de Grace for the win.
