After good back and forth action, Styles starts working on Ambrose’s leg and locks in the Calf Crusher but Ambrose reaches the bottom rope. Styles locks in the submission move again but Ambrose grabs Styles’ head and repeatedly slams it into the mat until Styles releases the hold.

Styles goes for a powerbomb on the ring apron but Ambrose reverses it and Styles crashes into the ring post. Ambrose hits a lariat on the outside and takes Styles into the ring and hits a running bulldog. Styles hits the springboard 450 splash and goes for the pin but Ambrose still kicks out. Ambrose & Styles have jumped the barricade now and Ambrose just laid him out in the seating area.
The action returns to the ring and Ambrose goes for Dirty Deeds but Styles pushes him into the referee, hits a low blow and hits the Styles Clash for the win!
