AJ Styles had his debut match on Monday Night Raw when he faced off against Chris Jericho. The crowd was into the match with a lot of support for Styles and Jericho as well. The match featured some great back and forth action but it was Styles that walked away with the victory.
The finish came when Styles hit a pele kick then went to the top rope for a Frog Splash. Jericho rolled out of the way and Styles missed the splash. Jericho countered with a Lionsault which Styles blocked with his knees. Styles then went for the Styles Clash but Jericho reversed it into a roll up. Styles then reversed the roll up to win the match.
After the match AJ Styles celebrated in the ring then extended his hand to Chris Jericho. Jericho shook AJ’s hand but wouldn’t let go when Styles tried to walk away. The two had a stare down then Jericho left.
