Tonight’s episode of Smackdown will be the go-home show for The Horror Show At Extreme Rules PPV. The episode will feature an Intercontinental Title match between AJ Styles and Matt Riddle. We have a spoiler to pass your way for the episode tonight.
Specifically, this has to do with the result of the match between Styles and Riddle. An obvious spoiler warning applies to the rest of this post.
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), Riddle will not be winning the Intercontinental Title tonight. The episode will feature Styles winning the match, followed by Styles and King Corbin beating down Riddle after it is over.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
“Fightful has been informed that as of now there aren’t plans for Matt Riddle to become IC Champion. The plan for this week’s show calls for AJ Styles to defeat him and join in with Baron Corbin for a beat down.”
