Dream match it look on paper but this two show it is really dream match. Relegated to co-main event status, Lesnar and Styles performed as if they were in the main event of WrestleMania. Just about everything was perfect from their timing, psychology and intensity. Styles also seemed to bring out a version of Lesnar in terms of his selling that we don't always see. For a one-off match thrown together as a gift for fans to pad the card, this was a best-case scenario in terms of how it delivered. The only issue comes down to whether Lesnar's knee injury was legit or not and whether it keeps him out of action.
As expected, Lesnar dominated the entire first half by throwing Styles around like a rag doll, dragging him by his hair and delivering a quad of German suplexes. Styles sold the suplexes so well, from one corner of the ring to the other, that one time he flipped head over heels. Lesnar shut down Styles' attempts to rally as the match perfectly told the "David versus Goliath" story until Styles finally turned the match around. A springboard forearm to the floor and another off the steps weakened Lesnar. Styles then hit a 450 splash in the ring for a near fall and a huge pop from the crowd.
That set up a sensational finish as Lensar briefly countered out of the Styles Clash only to have Styles reverse it into a Calf Crusher. With Lesnar beautifully selling the pain and the crowd at a fever pitch, Brock powered out by violently slamming Styles' head to the canvas five times. Lesnar then kicked out of the Phenomenal Forearm and caught Styles' second attempt at the move in mid-air before hitting an F5 for the pin. This wasn't as good as expected, it was even better.
FOREARM after FOREARM after FOREARM!
