Theory def. Mustafa Ali to retain the United States Championship
Despite Theory being the United States Champion, it was Mustafa Ali who was arguably the favorite as he had the hometown advantage, being a native of The Second City. With Ali’s wife and children in attendance, he had something to prove, and moved quickly, sending Theory to the outside to start the match.
Theory gained the upper hand, taunting the crowd by dropping Ali with a ferocious fallaway slam. Ali seemed to have hurt his knee in the middle stages of the match, buckling after awkwardly landing a backflip. Theory capitalized on this, performing an eye-opening modified Spanish Fly from the top-rope.
With the support of Chi-Town behind him, Ali slapped on a STF hoping to humble Theory by submission. It wasn’t to be, as All Day managed to inch his way to the ropes to save his championship. Ali could see the United States Championship in his sight, perched above the ring, looking to drop on Theory with a 450.
However, The United States Champion targeted Ali’s leg, rolling out of the way of a 450 splash to cut down Ali with a chop block and an A-Town Down to secure the 1-2-3.. Despite a valiant effort by Ali, it was Theory who retained the U.S. Title, and of course, took a stupendous selfie to further goad his fallen competitor.
