The August 15 episode of WWE Monday Night RAW will feature the clash of the veterans as Bobby Lashley defends his United States Championship title against The Phenomenal AJ Styles. The three-time US champion retained the title after winning against Ciampa on last week's show in an eventful match. While Lashley and Ciampa fought, the Miz looked to make an interference, before Styles made a surprise entry and started a separate brawl.

AJ Style defeated The Miz on the last episode of WWE Monday Night Raw

Later in the night, Styles and Miz clashed in a no disqualification match and threw almost everything at each other. Styles started attacking Miz with a steel chair, a kendo stick, and even the table. Miz also defended himself impressively and used his witty methods by using the kendo stick below the belt. 

Styles then countered an interference from Ciampa and delivered a Phenomenal Forearm to throw Ciampa through the table. He then went on to execute a Styles Clash to pick the victory, after managing to escape a Skull-Crushing Finale. The Phenomenal One will now face Lashley in the championship match on Monday night.
