A few weeks ago AJ Styles shocked the world when he challenged Kevin Owens for the United States Championship at Madison Square Garden, and he won the belt for the first time in his career. Styles showed up on SmackDown Live a few days later and announced that he was bringing back the US Open Challenge, but unfortunately he won’t be defending the title this week, because he’s no longer the champion.
Styles did his best to defend the belt, but the end of the match came when AJ Styles went for the Styles Clash, but Kevin Owens reversed it and tossed AJ Styles into the referee. While the ref was down, Kevin Owens hit AJ Styles with a superkick, then he followed up with a pop-up powerbomb, but AJ reversed it into the Calf Crusher, but Kevin Owens reversed the hold into a crossface.
AJ Styles managed to break free and lock in a crossface of his own as the referee was getting up. Kevin Owens then rolled over and pinned AJ’s shoulders to the mat to win the US Title for the third time in his career.
Well, THIS is one way to counter the #StylesClash! #WWEBattleground @FightOwensFight pic.twitter.com/HBzqFVXB4l
