AJ Styles vs. GUNTHER (If Styles Loses, He Retires)

In one of the most emotional matches of the night, AJ Styles put his career on the line against GUNTHER in a brutal, methodical battle. Styles survived relentless chops, powerbombs, and submissions, repeatedly locking in the Calf Crusher while refusing to stay down.

GUNTHER ultimately resorted to ruthless efficiency, repeatedly applying the Gojira Clutch. Despite Styles clawing for the ropes and fighting through sheer will, the referee was forced to stop the match when AJ could no longer defend himself.

Winner: GUNTHER (Referee Stoppage)
Result: AJ Styles’ career officially comes to an end

Post-match, Styles received a lengthy standing ovation, sharing an emotional farewell with the crowd.- AJ takes his gloves off as the crowd chants “NO!” before putting them back on! He throws up his hand gesture as people in the crowd are shown reciprocating and throwing up Too Sweets for him. The chants shift to “AJ Styles!” and he leaves the ring.

He gets a couple steps up the ramp before heading back in and climbing the turnbuckles, throwing up Too Sweets and holding his hand to his heart as his music starts up one more time and he takes his leave.

A poignant goodbye to a legendary career.
