In an interview, AJ Styles calls Randy Orton crazy. He says it’s The Fiend’s fault that Orton’s head is twisted. Styles says Orton should be focusing on The Fiend instead. But “The Phenomenal One” vows to win anyway.

Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles

Orton immediately attacks Styles and punches him a few times. He stomps on Styles’ joints, but Styles dodges an RKO and rolls out of the ring. “The Phenomenal One” lures Orton back into the ring, but “The Viper” strikes with a back elbow. Orton suplexes Styles onto the broadcast table and stares down Omos.

Orton drops Styles with neckbreaker. “The Viper” blocks the Phenomenal Forearm, and he fights out of the Calf Crusher. A Spike DDT plants Styles on the mat, but Alexa Bliss appears on the screen to distract Orton. She unwinds a jack-in-the-box and says, “Not yet.” She blows out a match, and the ring posts erupt in a blast of flames. Orton vomits black goo again, and Styles hits the Phenomenal Forearm to earn the victory.
