AJ retorted by chopping Elias right on the head a few minutes later. Yes, on his head! This was only really visible when slowing down the video - otherwise, it just looked and sounded like a regular knife edge chop to the chest.

The blow even made a familiar cracking sound.

This isn't common. Wrestlers usually chop exclusively across the chest, 'cause they know it's expected and it'll make that noise everybody loves. Here, Styles randomly decided to whip Eli right on the forehead.
