WWE SmackDown Live Results: Highlights, Analysis, and Grades for July 25
By Rob Furness
WWE: Jericho and Styles
New Face of America Kevin Owens
After beating AJ Styles at Battlegrounds in controversial fashion, The New Face of America comes to the ring to a shower of “boos” and “AJ Styles” chants. KO says despite his tribulations at Madison Square Garden earlier this month, where he lost the belt, he knew because he had a pure heart and was a good person, good things would come to him. He says he will reinstate the US Open Challenge….next week.
AJ Comes out to declare his rematch clause.
Then something amazing happened, Jericho’s iconic music hit. The Ayatollah of Rock n’ Rolla struts to the stage. Kevin Owen’s face is absolutely hilarious as Jericho reminds KO that he too gets a rematch for the United States Championship. Jericho also makes a point to put AJ Styles on the List of Jericho for attempting to jump him in line.
Shane McMahon comes out and declares a Triple Threat match for the US Title, tonight!
The segment was fantastic, and the returning Jericho was enough to keep the crowd hot all night.
