When you see AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens on the card for a WWE pay-per-view, you are guaranteed to see a good match. This was a good match but not great as you would expect and the ending was weird.
After a solid 10 minutes of great wrestling, the referee was knocked out when Owens tossed Styles off his back and Styles accidentally knocked out the referee when his feet hit him in the face. Both men tried to lock in submissions on each other but the referee was slow to get back up. They did a spot with Owens pinning Styles after reversing a cross face submission but it looked like both men’s shoulders were on the mat. The announcers never acknowledged that the shoulders of both men were down and Owens was declared the new United States Champion.
I guess this will be addressed on Smackdown Live and it might lead to a final match at SummerSlam.
