WWE Fastlane 2016: 10 Ways To Book The Perfect Event

9. AJ Styles Pins Chris Jericho After The Styles Clash, Jericho Endorses Styles

The show will open with what may very well be the strongest match on the card - the third bout between AJ Styles and Chris Jericho. Expect a 15-minute-plus bout full of acrobatics, solid wrestling, and teased submissions. Jericho will escape from the Calf Crusher and Styles will weather the Walls of Jericho, but when "The Phenomenal One" hits the Styles Clash, he'll put Y2J down for the three count. Just as important as the bout itself, though, will be the aftermath. After celebrating his victory, Styles will approach Jericho, who's still holding his neck, and extend his hand in a gesture of peace. An annoyed Jericho will eye Styles with frustration, then ultimately take his hand and lift it up before a cheering audience. The so-called "Redneck Rookie" will have won the acceptance of WWE's most talented veteran.
