Natalya vs Naomi is set for Summerslam.
8) New United States Champion… (And A Very Strange Finish)
One of the most anticipated matches of the night was for the WWE United States Championship. AJ Styles defended his title against Kevin Owens.
Kevin Owens won his title back from AJ after a strange finish. It appeared as if AJ’s shoulder’s might have been up? WWE didn’t show a replay of the finish meaning that something might have went wrong? We will have to wait and see:
Why was there not one replay at the end of that Owens/Styles #USTitle match? Something’s fishy there. #WWEBattleground

Both Styles & Owen’s shoulders were down! It was a double pin….am I missing something here. No replay cause they fuc*ked up of course ?

Wait, so why did they have AJ win the title two weeks ago? Confused and disappointed by that match.
