AJ Styles retained the WWE United States Title over Kevin Owens in the opening match at tonight’s SmackDown but the finish included a referee bump and a controversial pin. This led to SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan and SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon making Owens vs. Styles for SummerSlam with Shane as the special referee.
