Damian Priest v Aleister Black in a Last Man Standing Match

The heated rivalry between Damian Priest and Aleister Black will reach its climax in a brutal Last Man Standing match. This feud has been building for weeks, intensified by Priest's actions last week when he distracted Black during his U.S. Title match against Sami Zayn, costing him the championship.

With both men known for their destructive, hard-hitting styles, this bout is expected to be a gruelling slugfest. There are no pinfalls or submissions; the only way to win is to incapacitate your opponent for a ten-count.

This stipulation guarantees an explosive conclusion to a bitter personal conflict, and fans can expect to see both superstars go to extreme lengths to put an end to their feud.
