WWE United States Championship
Kevin Owens defeats AJ Styles (c) via pinfall to become your 3-time WWE United States Champion – Owens knocked the ref out by tossing Styles at him earlier in the match. The ref finally came to after a bunch of submission reversals and gave the match to Owens on what appeared to be a double pin spot. We weren’t shown a replay but it’s likely that the story will be the referee was too out of it to make the correct call. We will see on Tuesday night.
