The Styles Clash is a finisher used by current WWE Champion AJ Styles. He used the move in various promotions like TNA and NJPW before joining the WWE. The move was banned by WWE in 2016 after Vince McMahon was told that former WWE superstar Yoshi Tatsu was injured by the botched Styles Clash by AJ Styles.

This caused Styles to use his submission move The Calf Crusher and The Phenomenal Forearm as his new finishers. Styles. However, Chris Jericho encouraged Vince to bring the move back. Jericho stated that Vince didn't even know what the move was before banning it. According to Wrestling News World, Jericho stated the following in a radio show:

"And that's the one when I basically got the Styles Clash unbanned because it was banned. And I was like, I knew that Vince had heard that somebody got hurt by the move, but I know he probably didn't even know what the move was, he just knew the name. So I pitched it to him as that cool move that AJ does where he drops you on your face, we did it at WrestleMania, we did it a couple of times."
