00:02The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:05One fall.
00:06In a descent first, from Gainesville, Georgia,
00:09weighing in at 218 pounds, he is the WWE Champion,
00:14the phenomenal AJ Styles.
00:24His opponent,
00:32Ladies and gentlemen,
00:35my name is Paul Heyman.
00:39Tonight, fighting, you hear that Mr. Performer?
00:44Fighting out of the corner marked the ultimate title holder.
00:51The reigning, defending, undisputed Universal Champion,
00:58Brock Lesnar.
01:01Guys, I wanna make one point.
01:03Brock Lesnar's been Universal Champion for 231 days.
01:06It is the longest world title reign in over four years here in WWE.
01:13Lesnar has been indeed dominant.
01:16I'm talking about a heavyweight that moves like a middleweight,
01:20a guy that carries a big, big punch.
01:22I like this matchup.
01:23I love it.
01:28AJ Styles, in so many ways, has epitomized what SmackDown Live is all about.
01:34The land of opportunity, the land of prove what others never thought you could accomplish.
01:40Brock Lesnar's proved what Monday Night Raw's all about, Byron.
01:43The best.
01:59Incredible atmosphere at the sold out Toyota Center here in Houston.
02:03Lesnar versus Styles for the first time ever.
02:06Styles has gotta stay away.
02:08Bottom line, he's gotta stay away from Brock Lesnar.
02:12Lesnar early on, shots here in the midsection of AJ Styles rocking the WWE Champion.
02:18Styles getting tossed.
02:20Brock Lesnar just cut the ring in half and just cut it off.
02:23And right now, AJ Styles is in trouble.
02:25And for all that Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles talked about, taking Brock Lesnar into deep water.
02:30Easier said than done.
02:31Hey guys.
02:31How do you get him there?
02:32And here's the deal.
02:33Booker, we follow Brock.
02:34We've watched.
02:35We've called his matches over the past year.
02:36Right now, this is the most focused I think I've seen Brock since he faced Goldberg at WrestleMania.
02:41I've said it before about Brock Lesnar.
02:42He don't want no water.
02:44He don't want no bread.
02:45He don't want no bread.
02:46All he wants is meat.
02:48One!
02:49The point right now for AJ Styles, can Styles withstand this storm, this early storm of Brock
02:54Lesnar?
02:56I think the reality is beginning to become very evident that the house that AJ Styles built
03:01is merely a zoning infraction in Suplex City.
03:04And now Lesnar, 285 pounds, right to the midsection and just popped AJ Styles in the spine.
03:14Lesnar just standing on the face of Styles.
03:17You gotta believe Lesnar, take a look back here at how this match started.
03:22Lesnar right out of the gates.
03:24Straight kick to the solar plexus and then a garage of shoulder blocks.
03:29Lesnar all over AJ.
03:32All right, Grace, you gotta believe Lesnar heard everything Daniel Bryan said this past
03:35week that Brock Lesnar is a quitter.
03:38He quit WWE, quit UFC.
03:41He's not a quitter, he does what he wants.
03:43There's a big difference between being a quitter and doing what you want.
03:47Brock Lesnar just manhandling AJ Styles.
03:50He's punishing this kid.
03:51I don't know what you guys are watching.
03:54Styles might be out.
03:55That knee, it was like a liver shot.
03:56Let me tell you something.
03:57That first shot, that took a whole lot out of AJ.
03:59I don't think he's gonna be in there.
04:01My God!
04:02That's one, that's the first one right there.
04:04Suplex City.
04:05It's not gonna take too many more than that, Book.
04:08Styles is very quickly becoming aware of what he got himself into.
04:12You guys remember what happened in Rocky, right?
04:15Yeah.
04:15He lost.
04:17This is just sick.
04:18Unbelievable, the release, overhead, belly-to-belly.
04:21Suplex of Styles.
04:23Wow.
04:23What a landing.
04:24Listen, Styles came into this mowing.
04:26It's a David and Goliath sort of situation.
04:29AJ Styles is grabbing at that hip right now.
04:31I think he's hurt.
04:32He could be actually injured.
04:34Styles' eyes are glazed over.
04:36AJ might be out of this one already.
04:38It's one thing to watch Lesnar on tape and to think you're prepared, but AJ Styles,
04:43unfortunately finding out it is a whole different experience when you are in there one-on-one.
04:48It's just, it's the size disparity.
04:50I'm at Brock with the German suplex.
04:52You know what Mike Tyson said?
04:54Everybody got a plan until they get hit and about.
04:57Hey Booker, we're about to rename your city.
05:01Watch this.
05:02Watch the back of the neck.
05:05AJ.
05:05Man.
05:06Right off of the canvas.
05:09Styles is out, guys.
05:10Look at him, he can't even stand up straight.
05:14The referee might want to think about calling this one.
05:17Lesnar is so focused tonight.
05:19It's Styles.
05:20Styles launched out of the ring.
05:23Wow.
05:24Talk about AJ Styles' 18 year career, Byron.
05:28Look at this man.
05:28I can assure you.
05:29Look at this man.
05:30Styles has never encountered a person like Brock Lesnar.
05:33I agree with you, you're absolutely right.
05:35And that is a scary sight right there, Brock Lesnar jogging around the ring,
05:39sauntering around the ring in full control.
05:41Yeah, that's right.
05:42Brock Lesnar can dish this kind of punishment out all night long.
05:46I follow Brock Lesnar's career, WWE have called all his matches.
05:50And this is why I love to call a Lesnar match.
05:54Baby.
05:56Wow.
05:57Lesnar just launching Styles into the German announce desk and now Styles is limp here.
06:02Look at this.
06:03Lesnar is completely manhandling AJ Styles.
06:06Styles is like a child right now.
06:08And Lesnar has a tendency to do that to his opponents.
06:11It's like- Take the left shoulder.
06:12Take the left shoulder.
06:13And this is becoming, well, eerily similar to the Brock Lesnar-John Cena match of a couple
06:19of years ago when Brock Lesnar completely dominated John in a way that I've never,
06:24ever seen before.
06:25Like made for Brock Lesnar from last year's Survivor Series as well.
06:29Lesnar looking for number three.
06:30Oh my goodness.
06:32Talk about a released German.
06:33And how AJ tried to get back up to his feet.
06:36Couldn't do it.
06:37I don't think he tried, Tom.
06:38I think that was all instinct.
06:39I don't think he has any idea where he is.
06:41Corey, you said it, man.
06:42The referee just may have a wherewithal to know how to stop this fight.
06:46Crazy strength.
06:49That is from one end of the ring to another.
06:51And the thing is that Lesnar wants to take his time.
06:54He wants to draw out this punishment.
06:56Byron, I don't hear you over there talking, son.
06:58Look, I acknowledge, I acknowledge the dominance going on.
07:03The Universal Champion is manhandling the WWE Champion.
07:09Man, Brock, with a knee right to the face.
07:12Booker, both you and I have been on the receiving ends of an attack by Brock Lesnar.
07:16We know what this man is all about.
07:18He's frightening, scary.
07:19He's a physical beast.
07:21He beats the hell out of you.
07:23You know, I was in the ring with a young Brock Lesnar.
07:25Watch.
07:26This right here is a well-rounded, more experienced,
07:30a more dangerous Brock Lesnar that has no pity, that has no remorse.
07:35He's a world-class athlete.
07:36That is.
07:37Look at him smiling, look at him smiling.
07:39Come on, fight!
07:41Come on!
07:41Lesnar imploring AJ to fight.
07:44Look at the quickness.
07:46AJ trying to swing.
07:48Come on!
07:49Myra, AJ for still trying to fight.
07:51Wait a minute.
07:51I got a hole.
07:53And a clubbing blow right across the chest.
07:55Only to get knocked back down.
07:57Good cover block.
08:00Look, I don't think Lesnar wants to.
08:01I think Lesnar wants to do this all night long.
08:03Watch this.
08:04The speed of Brock Lesnar is-
08:06Look at AJ.
08:07AJ, AJ.
08:08It comes AJ.
08:08Styles, shots here to the beast.
08:10And AJ Styles may have found an opening.
08:13Come on AJ.
08:15One knee.
08:16One knee.
08:17And that opening closed pretty quick.
08:21That Styles has put so much pressure on himself to shock the world but
08:26to represent SmackDown.
08:27That knee right there, AJ Styles felt it ring inside of his whole body.
08:32Right now AJ Styles is in trouble, guys.
08:34Byron, you talk about representing SmackDown Live.
08:36It's a 3-2 advantage right now over Raw, but it's gotta feel pretty thin here.
08:40You're AJ Styles.
08:41Uh-oh, Lesnar, there we go.
08:42Uh-oh, Lesnar, there we go.
08:43Here comes the storm.
08:44AJ, oh.
08:45Bottom of the F5.
08:46Brock Lesnar pushed off.
08:48AJ Styles with some space on the knee.
08:50Uh-oh.
08:51Uh-oh.
08:52And AJ Styles takes up the opposite knee.
08:54I have no idea.
08:56I have no idea.
08:56I have no idea how Styles is doing this, but I love it.
08:59Styles has floored the beast.
09:00And the key is, is Brock Lesnar is down.
09:03Lesnar is down.
09:04AJ's gotta take advantage right here.
09:06But can AJ take advantage?
09:07Does AJ have anything left in the tank?
09:10If there is anything left, we're gonna find out real quick.
09:13AJ able to sidestep, and Lesnar's knee goes right into the top turnbuckle, and then Styles attacks the opposite.
09:19Now going after the hamstrings, taking away the legs of Lesnar.
09:23Breakdown of the beast, limb by limb.
09:26Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels said on the kickoff show earlier tonight that the longer this match goes, the better
09:32it is for AJ Styles.
09:33And this is the point exactly.
09:35Styles is starting to get a second win here.
09:37The beast is in trouble.
09:38And Styles has brought Lesnar down to his level.
09:41And Lesnar is staggered at the enziguri.
09:43You know, guys, I would feel that way, but AJ took a lot of punishment at the outside.
09:47Oh, and the moonsault.
09:48Oh, no.
09:49Lesnar caught him.
09:49Lesnar caught Styles.
09:52Oh, he's shoulder first into the turnbuckle.
09:54Wow.
09:54And again to the knees.
09:56AJ thinking about.
09:57Oh!
09:59Wow, Lesnar just so powerful, able to just snap AJ right off.
10:03I think AJ was thinking about a tornado DDT.
10:06Wow.
10:06And Lesnar just slung him away.
10:08Yeah, but the key is Brock Lesnar still rocked.
10:10Yeah, I agree, but let's take a look at this.
10:12AJ's looking for a tornado DDT.
10:14This is nasty.
10:15Brock just planted AJ right on his face.
10:18AJ's chin went into the canvas.
10:20And now Lesnar and Styles, both men down.
10:25We knew this thing wasn't gonna be pretty.
10:27I can tell you this, AJ Styles.
10:28Brock is stunned.
10:29Brock is stunned.
10:30Truly phenomenal just still being in this matchup.
10:33Run it down.
10:34Oh, the parallel kick to the back of the neck.
10:36This is what we've known about AJ Booker, his resiliency, his drive.
10:43And watch this.
10:45Look at this.
10:46All the momentum Styles had left back across the neck of Lesnar.
10:50Look at Styles now.
10:51Styles is going to the outside.
10:53Lesnar is still on his knees.
10:54Yeah, you gotta take risks.
10:56Styles is doing just that.
10:58AJ Styles looking for his best shot.
11:00God.
11:01No.
11:02And he scoops off.
11:04My God.
11:05Wow.
11:07He's grabbing that left knee right there.
11:09I think he should be grabbing every part of his body, Bugger.
11:11I thought he may be hyperextended on that back flip right there.
11:15Anything's possible, Book.
11:17I mean, we know one thing.
11:18Let's take another look at this.
11:19Styles looking for a phenomenal forearm, maybe.
11:22Lesnar.
11:22Watch that knee.
11:23Watch that knee.
11:23You're right, man.
11:25His right knee come down hard.
11:26It could have been a hyperextension.
11:27But I said it.
11:28I was agreeing with you, Booker.
11:30And Styles is trying to get himself back up to his feet.
11:35Lesnar's stunt still.
11:36But both men are, frankly, now Lesnar back up, staring down the phenomenal one,
11:42hobbling toward his prey.
11:45My God, Brock hit hard.
11:47He hit the apron hard.
11:49I think Lesnar threw so much behind that punch that his own momentum took him
11:54across Styles' body.
11:55Styles is only being held up by the rope.
11:59Both of these guys are gonna know they were in a fight tomorrow.
12:03Wait a minute, Styles has the high ground here.
12:06Lesnar on the outside.
12:08I know Styles has the-
12:09Couldn't pull it off, couldn't pull it off.
12:11I don't think AJ has enough left, I'm telling you.
12:13Nope, maybe he does.
12:14AJ with the forearm!
12:17And Brock is down, Brock is down.
12:19But AJ's gotta try to take advantage again here.
12:23AJ just trying to will himself back into this match.
12:26Anything he can think of to throw out at the Beast Brock Lesnar.
12:29I don't think there's gonna cover in this match, has there?
12:31I don't think so.
12:32There's been a fight, though.
12:34There's been a great fight.
12:35No big fall attempt.
12:37Oh!
12:37Oh, steal!
12:38And again, the knee that Brock Lesnar hung up earlier on time.
12:42On the turnbuckle goes right into the steel steps.
12:43Come on, get to the ring, AJ.
12:45Take a count out victory.
12:46Any victory we can get matters.
12:47AJ's not gonna take a count out victory.
12:49No way.
12:50No way would Styles do that.
12:51Off the steal!
12:53Again to Lesnar!
12:56AJ Styles is tapping into every bit of his reserves.
13:00AJ!
13:01AJ!
13:02AJ!
13:02AJ!
13:03AJ, what he's doing, he's just trying to find a way by any means necessary.
13:06That's how you can do Booker.
13:07I don't expect that in this kid.
13:08He's fighting his heart out.
13:09And Lesnar is rocked, trying to right himself along the steel, tossed inside, now by Styles.
13:15There is no surefire strategy to take down Brock Lesnar.
13:18You just gotta keep on fighting.
13:19You just gotta keep coming at Brock Lesnar.
13:25My God.
13:26Lesnar and Styles eye to eye.
13:28And it was an exiguri!
13:30He caught him right on the ear.
13:31And Lesnar went down in a heap.
13:33Toe of the boot right on the ear of Lesnar.
13:38What did Paul Heyman call AJ Styles elusive and abusive?
13:43Speed kills.
13:43Off the middle rope and the moonsault.
13:48Go on Styles.
13:50And AJ capitalized.
13:52No, not yet.
13:53It'll take a whole lot more than that to keep Brock Lesnar down, guys.
13:56It may take this.
13:56AJ going to the outside here.
13:58Lesnar's down.
13:59Styles eyeing him.
14:02Nailed it.
14:03First cover.
14:05Cover.
14:06He's kicking.
14:07Wow.
14:09That was almost an incredible victory for Styles.
14:12And almost gave SmackDown the win here tonight at Survivor Series.
14:16AJ Styles would have shocked the world.
14:18Styles nailed every bit of this springboard 450 splash.
14:23You don't see anybody.
14:25Picture perfect.
14:25You don't see guys kick out of this one right here, Corey.
14:27No, you're right, Booker.
14:28You absolutely don't.
14:29But AJ's not in there with a guy.
14:31AJ's in there with the Beast.
14:32And what's even as impressive as that maneuver is the fact that AJ Styles is
14:37still in this match despite the beating he has taken at the Hands of the Beast.
14:42There's no way.
14:42No way.
14:43Going for the Styles Clash over the shoulders.
14:46Bad, bad position right there.
14:48Lesnar.
14:48Lesnar trying to get the up five.
14:50My God.
14:51My God.
14:51My God.
14:53It's locked in.
14:53Capcruncher to the edge of knee.
14:56Can you imagine if the Beast submits?
14:58We may not have to imagine, Corey.
15:00And Styles make the Universal Champion tap out at Survivor Series.
15:04Styles sends you back with everything he's got.
15:07Lesnar could get the win for SmackDown Live.
15:10Look at the pain on the face of the Beast.
15:12Fight Brock.
15:13Fight Brock.
15:13Brock's not quick.
15:14Brock's not quick, man.
15:15Fight Brock.
15:16Lesnar trying to withstand the pain here.
15:19Styles.
15:19Look at the torque.
15:20Look at the calf crusher.
15:21Look at the torque.
15:22Look at the calf crusher.
15:23Good God.
15:24That's how to counter.
15:25Lesnar just dribbled AJ Styles' skull like a basketball.
15:30James Harden-like here in Houston brought Lesnar.
15:33That is a way, incredible the way that he broke the calf crusher.
15:38Watch this.
15:40I mean, there was incredible torque on that calf crusher from AJ Styles, but
15:43there was no replacement for this brutality.
15:49How much damage has the leg of Lesnar suffered?
15:55Brock just gotta land one big move and it's all over with.
16:00One move.
16:01We know Brock's thinking about the F5, but AJ's had a counter for it so far.
16:06No.
16:07Styles right in on Lesnar, trying to hold on to the top rope.
16:11Did you hear it?
16:12I felt it.
16:13Crack on the jaw.
16:14Stand by.
16:15Styles.
16:16Phenomenal Forearm kick out Brock.
16:19No.
16:21Lesnar kicked out.
16:22Wow.
16:24My God.
16:25What does that say about Brock Lesnar?
16:29What does it say about AJ Styles too?
16:32AJ Styles connecting on the mark with the Phenomenal Forearm.
16:37And gentlemen, regardless of the fact that Brock Lesnar is doing this match,
16:42the beast is an endangered species in this match.
16:45Yeah, but let me tell you something.
16:46When you hit a man with your big shot, it does something to you when he doesn't stay down.
16:52You're absolutely right.
16:53Yeah, it does something.
16:53It gives you resolve.
16:54AJ's doubting himself right now.
16:56I don't see any doubt.
16:57I see resolve.
16:57Let's try it again.
16:58He's tried the forearm.
16:59He's tried the cap pressure.
17:00He's tried the 450.
17:01Brock is still standing.
17:03Cross it off.
17:03The elbow pad.
17:04Eyes on Lesnar.
17:05One more attack.
17:07Yeah.
17:09Interception.
17:09Get out of it.
17:11F5.
17:12Thunderous.
17:13Lesnar the cover.
17:15Two.
17:16Yeah.
17:16Lesnar has tied it in Survivor Series.
17:19We're tied up.
17:20Here's your winner, the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar.
17:26What an incredible match.
17:28And what an incredible Universal Champion.
17:31AJ Styles has nothing to be ashamed of.
17:33He took Brock Lesnar to the limit tonight, but in the end, the beast brought it.
17:38What a match.
17:40Two incredible competitors.
17:42Two phenomenal competitors tonight.
17:46AJ Styles comes up just short, but there's no shame in that.
17:50What about Brock?
17:51Brock's still favoring that left knee.
17:53If Brock Lesnar is injured, what does that mean for the future of Raw?
17:56If AJ Styles is injured, what does that mean for the future of SmackDown?
