Main Event Face-Off

Styles talks about being in the land of opportunity on SmackDown Live. He says he’s going to prove himself again at No Mercy.

Ambrose interrupts, and calls Styles the Chump. He attacks Styles for taking the low road to get the biggest title of all. Ambrose says Cena should thank him for bringing the title to SmackDown in the first place so he can have a shot at Ric Flair’s record at all.
That, of course, brings out Cena. Styles doesn’t even let Cena speak, because he says he knows what Cena is going to say. Styles says Cena doesn’t deserve to break the record, and doesn’t belong in the same conversation as Ric Flair. He says Cena chases history, Styles makes history.

Cena gets interrupted again, this time by Ambrose. He paraphrases what Cena’s speech will be about, which will be spinning last week’s situation into something that will help Cena politically. Ambrose says Cena undercuts everyone in order to benefit himself.

Ambrose runs down Cena’s Hustle, Loyalty, Respect motto saying he represents it more than Cena. He tells Cena he never wanted Cena’s respect because he doesn’t need it. Ambrose will be real, and Cena can keep being the guy who plays John Cena on tv.

Cena simply says “talk is cheap” and the three men start to brawl. Cena AA’s Ambrose, Styles retreats to the outside.

Styles jumps Cena from behind, avoids an AA and hits a Phenomenal Forearm. Styles starts retreating to the back with his title and his music playing, but Ambrose catches him. Ambrose hits a Dirty Deeds on the entrance ramp, and it’s Ambrose who stands tall to end SmackDown Live.
