WWF Championship
CM Punk walks out first with a big smile on his face and a swagger as always. AJ is next to a massive ovation. Howard Finkle then does in ring announcing and we are set for this title match.
The assigned referee is Earl Hebner. He shows the championship to both men holds it up for all sides to see and then hands it to the night’s timekeeper. He then gets between the two and signals for the bell.
The crowd are rumbling, cheering and shouting as the two circle each other around the ring. AJ adjusting his elbow pad, Punk stopping with a smile on his face. AJ looks across at him, also ready to lock up and frowns at the smile, then shakes it off.
“Man after all the things the WWF has endured, after all the hardships. Losing our World title to the opposition, which would just be…man” JR shakes his head. “But is very may well happen JR” replies Styles. “Yeah, if you ask me AJ was stupid to accept the challenge and even stupider to put his belt on the line. He’s still sore from Wrestlemania; the winner of this match has a title defense next week. Putting the title up against us was a dumb move if you ask me.” “Bourne’s doing it” Styles counters. “He didn’t have a choice thanks to that money in the bank nonsense!” Ventura shoots back.
The two now launch forward and lock up in the collar elbow tie up, AJ putting his head down, the two pushing against each other to try and jock for position.
“The point is gentleman that CM Punk is a multi time World Champion, he was the NWA Champion for the majority of last year. AJ is in deep, deep trouble of losing our title here” JR comments.
AJ is the first to the advantage, pushing Punk back into the corner. The referee comes in and orders a clean break which he gets. Punk holds up his hands as AJ backs off. The smile has not left Punk’s face as he comes out the corner and the two circle each other again. Styles face is that of pure determination. The two holds up their hands going to lock up again, Punk coming in but Styles jumps back to stop him. Punk comes in again on the move now, the two locking up, Styles able to grab the arm of Punk and turn over with an overhand wrist lock, bringing Punks arm around him as he now has his back to him. Punk reverses that into a waist lock, pushing down and trying to take advantage, AJ trying all he can to break the grip of Punk’s fingers. AJ then moves quickly, grabbing the arm and going underneath to lock in a wrist lock again, pulling Punk around by his twisted arm. AJ now jerks the arm down a few times, watching Punk reaches for the arm and calls out. AJ continues to jerk the arm and elbow down until Punk runs for the ropes, going underneath to try and escape but AJ pulling on him and keeping him on the ropes which gets a count that’s forces him to break the hold. Punk stays in the ropes, looking back with contempt as AJ who ushers him back in. Punk yells “When I’m ready!” Waits a minute and ducks back under the top rope to reenter the ring.
They come in and lock up and again AJ goes back to work on the arm with an overhand, Punk however now pushing down on the arm with his own and pushing AJ back into the corner now. That is again a break and the two loosen up before coming in a locking up once more. AJ going behind and locking a waist lock, this time lifting him up and dropping him down face first the mat, then going over the body and locking in a rear face lock. Punk then however is able to twist it, spinning both men around on the mat and trading positions so Punk had the headlock on now. AJ then goes underneath and reverses that into a hammerlock on the mat now. AJ now stands slightly and drives his knee into Punk’s arm.
“Very ground based offense so far” JR comments. “Yeah, it’s not all about high flying for these two” Styles replies.
AJ then locks in the face lock again until Punk powers to his feet, going under and grabbing the arm for a wrist lock of his own now, dropping onto his knees to jerk the arm out its socket. Punk continues pushing on the arm bar until AJ is able to roll forward now, onto his feet out of it and turn it into one his own again. Punk now rolls forward onto his back, goes to Kip up but AJ stops him half way and drives him to the mat. Punk however now gets his legs on the ropes for the break. Punk now rolls away and rolls out of the ring to boos, he yells at the fans in the front row that he is taking a break and that he has a ten count! Before heading back into the ring. They both now go for each other again, Punk now kicking AJ in the gut and grabbing in the piledriver position, passing over with a sunset flip for a quick 2 count. AJ now doesn’t let Punk stand, pushing back both his legs for a roll up of his own for 2. AJ then grabs the legs and stands, lifting Punk up in the powerbomb position, setting him up for the Styles Clash but Punk is able to roll over and send AJ over with a side hurricanrana Both men now quickly stand and in comes AJ behind Punk and kicking him hard in the back of the shins, a loud impact sounding around the arena as the fans wince and react. AJ now comes and drops Punk to his knees with a side headlock.
“One thing I think needs to be brought up is how similar these two are” Ventura comments. “Oh yeah you are right there Jesse” JR replies “similar paths in their careers. Both starting around the same going to the same Indy promotions including ROH. This time last year both were middle weight national champions and now they are both former and current World Champions.” “And it goes for styles to. A perfect combination of technical and high flying offense. Both with as you would say JR educated feet” Joey Styles adds “and no I don’t just like AJ because we got the same name!”
Punk now powers onto his feet and backs AJ into the ropes but AJ keeps it locked on, dropping down again. Punk again powers onto his feet and this time is successful in backing and shooting AJ off of the ropes, coming in with a closeline but AJ ducks it and hits the opposite ropes now, coming and smacking Punk’s thigh with another hard roundhouse kick! AJ locking a quicker, snappier side headlock now. Punk in the hold for a few moments but then drops back driving Styles down with a back suplex. AJ lands hard on his head and rolls away holding it. Punk now stands, coming in and driving a clubbing blow into Styles head, lifting him up and whipping him across the ring, AJ however runs in a goes behind, locking in a rear waist lock, going for a German suplex. Punk elbowing his way out of trouble then hitting the ropes and swinging for an elbow again but Styles ducks it and Irish whips him into the ropes now, swinging for a closeline but Punk ducks that now and lock in a waist lock of his own, dropping back for a reverse sit down roll up for 1…2…NO! Punk now stands and takes AJ over with a snapmare and locking in a rear chin lock. AJ manages to power to his feet and elbow Punk in the gut, running for the ropes, Punk swinging for him but AJ ducks it, hooks the arm as he goes over, jumping up and taking him down with a crucifix for 1…2…NO! AJ goes straight into a head scissors. Punk yells at the ref refusing to give up.
Punk manages to roll over now while still locked tight in the head scissors, getting onto his feet and rising up, AJ hammering into him to stop him and keeping the head scissors in tight. However Punk manages to pull up of it and drive AJ down with a mat closeline, going straight into an overhand wrist, side headlock now. AJ now stands in the hold and throws Punk into the ropes, leapfrogging over him and dropping down as Punk hits the other ropes and comes in again, but instead of running over Punk stops himself, hooking Styles with his legs and twists him over into a back to back ground borne roll up for 1…2…NO!
Punk now stands and runs it and gets taken over with the deep arm drag, Punk flies and then stands jumping and getting taken over with another arm drag. Both stand again and now AJ scoops him up and drops him with a scoop slam, running back into the rope and jumping coming in, driving his knee down into Punk’s head! AJ now crawls over and covers for another 2 count.
“Man! The Champion is so athletic! Every move so graceful” JR calls.
AJ now picks Punk up by the head, boots him hard in the gut and the then hits the ropes as he’s bent over, running in and driving the knee up into Punks face. AJ now grabs Punk again, hammers him with the forearm and backs him into the ropes, Irish whipping him across the ring but Punk comes in hammers him with a clubbing blow to the back of the head, hooking Styles and heaving him up in the vertical suplex…holding him there. Punk holds AJ up in the suplex for at last ten seconds then drops Styles down into the mat. Punk now covers and finds 2, picking AJ up and locking in a rear chin lock again. AJ is in the hold for a few moments but then manages to get onto his feet and hammers into Punk with a shot and then a hard head-but. Punk is dazed and out on his feet as he stumbles back. AJ now whips him across the ring, leapfrogs over, Punk swings for a closeline he ducks it, drops down, Punk passes over but as AJ goes to run in again catches himself on the top rope. AJ runs in now and gets taken over with a back body over the top rope to the outside.
Punk is breathing hard, out of breath, but grins as he turns and sees AJ writhing on the mats. He now comes out and grabs Style, Irish whipping him hard face and chest first into the ring post. AJ’s head smacks the ring post hard, he then drops down and rolls away.
“Whoa! AJ may be knocked out cold after that shot!” Ventura comments.
When AJ rolls over again we see that he is busted wide open, blood pouring down his face, Punk comes over and lays in the boots, rolling into the ring to break to refs count and then stomps away on AJ again on the floor. He then grabs AJ and Irish whips him again and sending his crashing into and over the ring steps. Punk is grinning for ear to ear as he comes in, taunting the fans and trash talking as he pulls the lifeless, bloody AJ of the mat and smashes his face down into the ring apron. He then grabs him in the suplex position, lifts him up and drives him down onto the announce table with a forward suplex, bending the covering with the impact. Styles calls out and then slumps down, lying belly down on the table, his head hanging off the table, his blood dripping onto the black mats. Punk now backs off from this, targets AJ’s hanging head and runs in with a knee right into the head, leaving Styles to slump down lifeless off the announce table now.
“This is it! The title is coming to the NWA!” Ventura yells. “I hate to say it but I think you’re right. AJ has been pummeled here!” JR agrees.
Punk now lifts Styles up and throws him into the ring, just breaking the refs count as he follows him in as well.
Punk walks forward, cutting the air to signal the end with a broad grin as the crowd boos loudly in response. He then turns and comes in, just kicking off, pushing AJ’s head with his boot, mocking him. He then lifts AJ up and drives him down over his knee with a tilt a whirl backbreaker, now covering but lifting AJ up and stepping up him for the step up ensurguri on AJ’s bloody head. AJ drops to his knees and falls face first to the mat, lifeless. Punk stands and grimaces, lifting his shin pads and whipping it.
“He got blood on my boots!” He yells out at the crowd who boos back.
He then comes in Styles again, the smile returning to his face and he picks him up by the head and whipping him into the corner, running in for his running high knee, looking out and yelling “get ready to fly!” Before then driving Styles down with the one handed running bulldog. Punk is still smiling as he comes over and covers for 1…2…NO! Punk gets up on his knees and curses that he didn’t get it, lifting AJ up off the mat….but Styles hammers back to huge cheers, and again, and again the noise louder and louder with each Punk. AJ now runs into the ropes come in but is cut off but Punk, double under hooked and driven down across the knee with the double under hook backbreaker! The air is let out of the building, Styles come back ended a quickly as it started. Punk is again smiling as he covers for 1…2….NO! AJ kicks out again; the smile is gone from Punk’s face now as he looks down as Styles in aggravation.
He then stands and climbs up onto the top rope, rising up and waiting for AJ to stand. But when he does he comes to life, running in and up, sending Punk off the top rope with the Pele kick! Punk falls forward off the top, Styles coming in and covering for 1…2….NO! The live crowd let out a massive collective gasp as Punk gets the shoulder up! AJ himself is unable to move for a moment, down on the mat. Finally he starts to move.
“Man AJ has lost a lot a blood, perhaps too much!” Ventura says. “He can do it! Come on kid! Come on Styles get up!” JR rallies behind his champion.
Styles now stumbles to his feet to a huge cheer, blood now all over his face and chest. He looks up from under the crimson mask to the corner, grabs Punk and drags him into position, running and jumping up onto the top rope and flying off with the frog splash for 1…2…..NO! Punk kicks out again!
“Damn!” JR curses and is now shaking his head “man what a championship match here folks. Here at Supercard with all the eyes of world on them they are pulling out everything they have!”
AJ now stumbles back to his feet again, positions Punk again, runs up onto the top ropes and flies off with the split legged moonsault….but Punk is there and catches him on his shoulders, positioning him and driving him into his knee with the GTS for 1….2…..NO!!! The crowd blows the roof off.
“YES!” JR jumps out his chair with everyone else for joy.
Punk is wide eyed, falling back to the mat in disbelief.
“This is awesome!” Chants start thundering Ford Field. Thousands on hand in awe that AJ just kicked out.
“I don’t believe, how the hell?” Ventura says. “Well I can tell you no one is more shocked than that man right there CM Punk” replies JR.
Punk now lifts Styles up onto his shoulder again, going for a second GTS, when AJ drops down behind, turning Punk around, boots him in the gut, hooks him and drives him down with the Styles Clash for 1…2…NO!!! Punk kicks out!
Both men at laid face down on the mat, the noise of the crowd deafening. The first to rise in the blood AJ, going to the top rope again now, pulling his unwilling body on. He then flies off with a Spiral Tap (a corkscrew somersault into a leg drop) and slumps an arm over for 1….2….3!
The crowd explodes as the bell rings and Styles music plays.
“Yes! Yes he did it! Thank God he did it!” JR yells.
“Here is your winner” Finkle announces “and STILL World Wrestling Federation Champion! AJ Styles!”
Thousands of fans on hand stands and gives both men a loud standing ovation. Then roar louder than ever as AJ stumbles to his feet, is handed his belt and gets his hand raises as he can barely stand.
“In his first title defense AJ defied the odds. That was an incredible title match, but man what a challenge Punk brought here tonight. There is your champion folks, he survived this grueling defense in one hell of a match!” JR says. “I have to hand it to Styles. On this night he was the better man. He is truly the man to hold that championship” replies Jesse Ventura.
AJ now nods his head to Punk who has just started to move then drops out of the ring and pulls himself to the back, title in hand.
“But how he is gonna defend that title against 5 men in a week….he may have retained tonight but was it at the expense of Foundation?” Asks JR “Well that said folks. AJ is still the WWF Champion and boy does he deserve it. What a match! And we still got much more left to come!”
Punk looks on as Styles holds up his belt one more time at the top of the ramp and then disappears to the back.
