Black defeats Styles: Elimination Chamber March 8

Result: Black defeats Styles

Match: After both men wrestled for several minutes without anyone securing an advantage, Aleister Black finally surprised AJ with a strike. Black would hit several strikes before Gallows and Anderson jumped on the apron providing a distraction that AJ could use to his advantage. AJ began to focus on the left leg of Aleister Black. As Aleister lay on the center of the mat trying to get up, Styles rolled to the outside to pull a kendo stick out from under the ring. After Black managed to evade a couple of kendo stick shots, Styles kicked Aleister to the outside. Styles attempted to leap over the top rope to hit Black, but Aleister hit him with a knee strike before setting up a table. As Black returned his focus to AJ, he got surprised with a steel chair shot from Styles.

Back in the ring, Black hit Style with several elbow, kick, and knee strikes. AJ would counter Black’s offense into the calf crusher, but Black got his hands on the kendo stick and broke free. Black hit AJ Styles with the seven shots from the Kendo Stick before AJ ducked one and hit a Pele kick. AJ hit a Phenomenal Forearm and a brain buster for a near fall.

Black would find an opening to hit several strikes and his moonsault from the second rope. Black went for the moonsault again, but Styles caught him and attempted a tombstone, but Black escaped. The action spilled to the outside where Aleister Black hit a running meteora off the announce desk through a table. This allowed Black to set up for the Black Mass, but that brought Gallows and Anderson into the ring. All three members of the OC swarmed on Black. After Gallows and Anderson hit Black with the Magic Killer, AJ set up for the Phenomenal Forearm, but the lights went out.

When the lights came back on, the Undertaker had Gallows and Anderson by the throat. He then choke slammed AJ styles before disappearing. Aleister Black hit Black Mass for the pinfall victory.
