WWE Hall of Famer Booker T joined the commentary table to call the action, and The Miz was also there at ringside.
The Phenomenal One dominated the action early and trash-talked with The Miz. Styles hit the Styles Clash close to the ropes and went for the cover, but The Miz put Ciampa's boot on the bottom rope, and the referee didn't see it. The Blackheart capitalized and threw Styles into the timekeeper's area.
The Miz held The Phenomenal One's leg behind the barricade. but Styles escaped to make it into the ring before the referee's ten count. Ciampa connected with a knee strike and followed it up with the Fairytale Ending for the pinfall victory.
With the win, Ciampa earned a match against Bobby Lashley for the United States Championship next week on WWE RAW.
