The WWE Championship has never changed hands outside of North America and with last night's SmackDown Live being a pre-taped edition from Manchester, England, no one expected AJ Styles to actually defeat Jinder Mahal for the title. Well, he won and WWE has released both an interview with The Phenomenal One and footage of him celebrating with fans once cameras stopped rolling.
Now, the stage has been set for Styles to go to war with Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series (unless the company is daft enough to put the title back on Mahal on next week's SmackDown Live).
Lesnar vs. Styles is pretty much a dream match and you have to hope he's just not going to bury Styles with a series of suplexes in a non-competitive match! What do you guys think of Styles' win?
