Gunther vs. AJ Styles: AJ’s Career on the Line

Will it end tonight for AJ Styles? The stipulation is clear — if AJ loses, he retires. The Phenomenal One steps into the ring against Gunther, the most dominant champion in WWE today, with his entire career hanging in the balance. This is as big as it gets.

Gunther controlled the early portion of the match, but AJ Styles is fighting back. Styles hit the Styles Clash, but Gunther kicked out at two. The Phenomenal One is not done yet.

After a barrage of kicks and chops, Gunther resorted to a low blow to keep Styles down. AJ had a brief moment of offense, but Gunther trapped him in the sleeper hold and wouldn’t let up. Just like with John Cena, AJ Styles has been defeated and retired by Gunther. Styles didn’t tap out. He passed out. A warrior to the end.

AJ was in that sleeper for a long time. The Riyadh crowd sat in stunned silence. You could have heard a pin drop in that stadium. But when the dust cleared, the crowd showed their appreciation — a long standing ovation for the former multi-time champion. A fitting farewell for one of the greatest to ever do it.

But wait. AJ started to leave his gloves in the ring — the traditional sign of a wrestler hanging it up. Then he put them back on. He went to the corner to celebrate. He didn’t leave his gear behind. Is AJ Styles’ career really over? His WWE contract tells an interesting story. Something tells us this story isn’t finished yet.

Drew McIntyre vs. Sami Zayn: WWE Championship on the Line

The build has been electric, and the tension is real. Sami Zayn steps into the ring against Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre with gold on the line. This is a must-see match. Can Sami finally get the win over Drew? We’re about to find out.

This was a high-impact match from start to finish. Drew McIntyre controlled the action for most of the bout while Sami Zayn fought from underneath the entire time, working through a damaged back. The heart Zayn showed was undeniable. But heart only goes so far against a champion like McIntyre. After multiple Future Shock DDTs and two Claymore Kicks, Drew successfully defended the WWE Championship. The fans were rooting for Sami, but in the end it wasn’t enough to carry him to victory.

Result: Drew McIntyre (c) def. Sami Zayn — WWE Undisputed Championship retained
