TORONTO –Ricochet brought the fight to United States Champion AJ Styles at SummerSlam, but The Phenomenal One came to Canada with something even more powerful: The O.C.
With Raw Tag Team ChampionsLuke Gallows & Karl Anderson at his back, Styles relished the opportunity to end Ricochet’s quest to reclaim the star-spangled U.S. Title at The Biggest Event of the Summer, but WWE’s resident superhero — wearing all-new ring gear that looked like it was ripped from a DC comic book — refused to relent in the face of villainy.

After Styles’ cruel and consistent assault on Ricochet’s left knee, the challenger was forced to fight much of the match on one leg, but that didn’t prevent Ricochet from unleashing on the champion with incapacitating kicks and dazzling top-rope maneuvers. However, once The Phenomenal One caught Ricochet in the Calf Crusher — doing unimaginable damage to the already injured knee — there was no coming back for the hobbled aerialist.
Fighting through excruciating pain, Ricochet was forced to briefly take his eye off the ball once Gallows & Anderson got involved in the action from ringside. Their momentary distraction helped Styles catch Ricochet off the top rope and ground the challenger with a wicked Styles Clash for the three-count.
The O.C.’s SummerSlam victory celebration kicked off with Gallows & Anderson’s disgusting post-match Magic Killer to Ricochet, reminding the challenger and the entire Raw locker room that The O.C. is “the official, the original, the only club that matters.”
