AJ Styles def. Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens in a Triple Threat Match to become the new United States Champion

With the WWE Universe already in a frenzy following Chris Jericho’s surprise return and the announcement of a Triple Threat Match for Kevin Owens’ United States Championship, The New Face of America, The Phenomenal One and The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla delivered a high-octane thriller in SmackDown LIVE’s main event, keeping fans on the edge of their seats from bell to bell.

With the three Superstars competing at a break-neck pace, Owens planted Jericho with a ring-shaking Pop-up Powerbomb and a devastating Frog Splash, but before KO could capitalize, Styles tossed his nemesis out of the ring and took advantage by pinning Jericho to recapture the Star-Spangled Championship.

Following the contest, Owens seethed on the microphone, expressing his disgust, claiming that being forced to defend his title against two men was unfair and demanding his one-on-one rematch next week on SmackDown LIVE.

WWE.com can confirm that Styles will indeed defend the United States Championship against Owens next week on the blue brand!
