Ever since AJ Styles made his triumphant debut in WWE at the Royal Rumble, he’s only been getting more and more hype. However, he’s also been locked in a series of singles matches with WWE legend Chris Jericho. With each superstar having a victory to their credit, they were ready to settle the score at WWE Fastlane 2016 in Styles first singles pay-per-view match.

Styles and Jericho began the match searching for any kind of opening to take the upper hand as they exchanged different roll-up attempts, counters, and both looked to hit their respective submission finishing maneuvers. This continued for quite some time as the back-and-forth action, but AJ finally got a bit of an edge with a huge dropkick:

However, Styles’ control of the match didn’t last long at all as Y2J launched Styles high in the air with a counter and sent him crashing to the mat before sending him crashing again, this time to the outside.

Styles got Jericho falling to the outside, though, and though about going to the high-risk bag of tricks with an over-the-top-rope dive. However, that turned out to be a bad move as Y2J caught him with a huge dropkick of his own:

Jericho took advantage of that after catching his breath, though, and took the action back into the ring—but The Phenomenal One wouldn’t be held down for too long as he caught the WWE veteran with some strikes and then an incredible DDT:
