As Styles went for a Phenomenal Forearm, Edge turned the tides by dropping Styles’ onto his injured shoulder, slamming it repeatedly into the ring post and steel steps. The Rated-R Superstar methodically hammered away at Styles’ shoulder until Styles slowed the momentum with a Pele Kick, fighting through the pain to deliver a sit-down facebuster and a top-rope huricanrana for a pair of near-falls.
Despite fighting with one hand, Styles continued to pummel Edge, escaping a Spear attempt by his rival to deliver a Styles Clash. The Phenomenal One climbed to the top rope, but Damian Priest’s arrival on the ramp distracted him. Before Priest could get involved, though, Finn Bálor raced down to take out Priest, as a hooded figure creeped up to pull Styles off the top rope.
Edge leaped into action and locked Styles in a crossface, switching his grip and putting The Phenomenal One to sleep and earning the submission victory. Following Edge’s victory, the mysterious figure entered the ring and kneeled before Edge before revealing herself as Rhea Ripley and raising her hands in solidarity with the head of Judgment Day.
