The two traded off their signature submission holds and Styles would gain a significant advantage until Erick Rowan appeared down the stage. Bryan would “accidentally” kick the ref in the head as Styles grabbed him for a Styles Clash. Rowan immediately entered the ring and delivered a Claw Slam to “The Phenomenal One”, allowing for Bryan to cover Styles for the pin.

Rowan would then help Bryan attack Styles after the match, holding Styles hold while Bryan delivers a Running Knee.
