AJ Styles is the WWE Champion, which means he’s the top star on SmackDown Live. As the top star he has to take on all comers, and WWE has announced that on Tuesday night, AJ Styles will be facing Sami Zayn in a one on one match on SmackDown Live.
JUST ANNOUNCED: #WWEChampion @AJStylesOrg and @SamiZayn will square off in a non-title match THIS TUESDAY on the first #SDLive of 2018! https://t.co/xoocyxowhL

Sami Zayn helped Kevin Owens pull off a shocking victory over AJ Styles when he provided a distraction on the most recent episode of SmackDown, so it looks like Styles will get his chance for revenge on Tuesday.
It’s also been confirmed that Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin will be challenging The Usos for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles on Tuesday.
SmackDown isn’t the only show that’s set to feature a title match next week, as it was recently announced that Roman Reigns will be defending his Intercontinental Championship against Samoa Joe on Raw, and if Roman is disqualified, the title will change hands.
Roman Reigns commented on the big match and the stipulation by saying that it’s Kurt Angle’s job to make the rules, and it’s his job to defend the belt, so that’s what he’s going to do.
Who will you be rooting for on Monday? Sound off in the comments below.
