14) AJ Styles Retained (Also Helped Advance Owens vs Shane)
AJ Styles defended his WWE United States Championship against Kevin Owens. There was a big twist to this match as it featured Shane McMahon as the special guest referee.
There was a lot of tension during the match between Shane, AJ and Owens. The match was eventually won by AJ Styles after hitting a ‘Phenomenal Forearm’ and a ‘Styles Clash’. AJ is still United States Champion.

AJ was the first Champion of the night to retain… After 5 other title matches. A great match between both guys. It also helped further the conflict between Shane and Owens. Looks like we will be seeing them face off in a singles match soon.

In one of the marquee matches of the night, Jinder Mahal defended his WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. After some interference from the Singh Brothers, Jinder was able to get the better of Nakamura. Jinder picked up the win to retain the WWE Championship.

The Jinder Mahal experiment with him as WWE Champion continues. Looks like Nakamura will certainly get a rematch though after Jinder needed help to win.
