WWE Championship Match
AJ Styles was put in submission holds by both Dean Ambrose and John Cena during the WWE No Mercy opening match.
Styles tapped out, but after the ref made the decision to end the match, he reversed that decision and restarted the match. Then Styles smacked a steel chair on the back of Cena and pinned Cena to retain the WWE Championship. You can watch highlights below:
