WWE Clash of Champions: 5 potential finishes for AJ Styles vs. Jinder Mahal

#2 Jinder Mahal wins via count-out

Mahal could render Styles incapacitated leading to another match at Royal Rumble

Another result rooted in frustration, we could see a scenario where Mahal walks away victorious, but not because he pins Styles, but rather renders him incapacitated. Instead of a referee stoppage, this would be an instance where Styles cannot get back in the ring and is counted out.

While a count out win is rather anticlimactic, it is the build for these two to have a blow-off match at the Royal Rumble.

In Mahal's mind, a count out win would be because AJ ‘intentionally saved himself,' knowing a title cannot change hands-on a count out or a disqualification, Mahal could claim that Styles was a coward and knew very well that he would retain that when the going got tough Styles was a ‘phenomenal chicken.'

Styles would have to be beaten down so badly that he couldn't compete, costing him the match.
