Lee took advantage in the opening stages of the bout, forcing Gable out of the ring and following up with a clinch to take him out to the announcer’s table. Back in the ring, he took Gable to the top rope and looked to join him. But Gable brought him back with the Olympic Slam.
Lee looked like he had the title shot when he connected with Operation Dragon going for the cover, but got a near fall. He then went for the Styles Clash, but Gable reversed and reversed it into an ankle lock. Lee managed to get out of the fight and connected with the Styles Clash to no avail for the cover.
Gable grabbed the ankle from the mat, pinning it and pressing it into the middle of the ring. Lee was inches from the ropes but was forced to submit, securing Gable’s title retention. After the match, Gable stopped the referee from giving him the belt so he could shake Lee’s hand. He closed the segment by raising his fallen opponent’s arm for the crowd.
