7. WCW Championship Match
AJ Styles (c) vs CM Punk
This match is the one everyone has been waiting for. The stare down at the beginning of the match might go down as one of the most intense stare downs in history. This match is as back and forth as you can get. At the 15 minute mark of the match there is a big spot where Punk ducks out of the way of Styles attempt at hitting a Phenomenal Forearm off the ropes to the outside sending him crashing into the table but not breaking it. The Holy shits start just from that but they go crazy as Punk climbs the turnbuckle and then hits an elbow drop sending both men through the Announcers Table.
The match continues from that point still being very back and forth. Punk is able to kick out of a Styles Clash while Styles Kicks out of a GTS.
The crowd is really hooked on this when Styles locks in a Calf Crusher everyone thinks it is over but Punk is able to reverse the hold and locks in a Aniconda Vice on the Champion. Styles is able to break free from the hold by getting to the ropes and fights to his feet and nails Punk with a pele kick. Styles then roles to the apron and gets to his feet and stalks Punk who slowly gets to his feet. Once Punk is to his feet Styles leaps at him and nails a Phenomenal Forearm!!!!
Styles goes for the cover and 1,2.... NO!!! Punk somehow kicks out. Styles roles back out of the ring to the apron again and stalks Punk looking for another Phenominal Forearm. Styles leaps at Punk but Punk somehow catches Styles right in for the GTS. Punk throws Styles off his shoulders to finish this but Styles somehow catches Punk's leg and locks in the Calf Crusher as the crowd is shocked.
Punk pulls and crawls trying to get to the ropes and is in the hold for what feels like an eternity
but just when Punk is about to make it to the ropes Styles is able to move them right back to the middle of the ring and Punk makes one last attempt to crawl to the ropes but passes out from the pain in the process. The ref calls for the bell because Punk can no longer compete and Styles is declared the winner. The crowd boos as Styles celebrates his huge win here tonight.
