AJ Styles wins a spot in Number 1 contender's match on SmackDown, and will face LA Knight for a shot at Cody Rhodes' WWE Championship
The main event of tonight's WWE SmackDown was to decide who would face LA Knight in a number 1 contender's match, which will then decide who faces Cody Rhodes for his newly won Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Knight secured his spot in the match earlier in the night by pinning Santos Escobar in a Triple Threat match that also involved Bobby Lashley, and now it was time for the second Triple Threat match between Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, and Rey Mysterio.

Mysterio caught Styles, but Styles hit Mysterio with the Styles Clash from the top, and that was enough to keep Mysterio down for the pin and the win. Styles moves to the next round and will face LA Knight in the match to decide who will challenge Rhodes for the Title.
Aside from the home brawl, there were other memorable moments along the way, including when Knight dressed up as a member of the arena's security to surprise attack Styles during a previous episode of SmackDown. That led to a match at WrestleMania 40, and after a physical battle, it was Knight who picked up the win.
