A.J. Styles and Dean Ambrose put on a heck of a match in Sunday night's main event at WWE TLC event.

Styles and Ambrose went back and forth with big spots throughout with the challenger hitting a stunning suplex onto a handful of chairs:

But it was Styles who stole the show with a springboard 450 splash to the outside, putting Ambrose through a table:

In the end it was James Ellsworth who helped Styles retain, when he turned on the one-time champ.

Where does Styles go from here? With the Royal Rumble right around the corner, maybe it's the returning Undertaker who's next for the face who runs the place.
