Despite Styles’ efforts, Mysterio managed to outsmart him. With a quick move behind the referee’s back, Mysterio used his boot to strike Styles and secure the victory with a frog splash.
Mysterio had previously won the Intercontinental Championship in a fatal four-way match at WrestleMania and successfully defended it against Penta and Octagon Jr. before defeating Styles.
