July 12 (UPI) -- Former rivals John Cena and newly crowned United States Champion AJ Styles teamed up on Smackdown Live Tuesday to take on the likes of Kevin Owens and Rusev.
The main event of the night came about after Styles opened the show by starting up a United States Championship open challenge.
Cena answered the call, but before a match could begin, former United
States Championship holder Owens entered the arena and distracted the
pair in order for Rusev to enter the ring. A brawl ensued with Owens and
Rusev gaining an advantage by using the Pop-Up Powerbomb and The
Accolade.
The Tag Team Match ended differently, however, as Styles landed a
Pele Kick onto Owens who was then drilled with an Attitude Adjustment by
Cena for the victory.
Styles earned the United States Championship in surprising fashion on
Friday during a non-televised WWE Live Event at Madison Square Garden
in New York City.
In the women's division, Smackdown Live commissioner Shane McMahon
announced that Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Tamina and Lana
will meet at Battleground on July 23 in a Five-Way Elimination Match to
determine the No. 1 contender for Naomi's Smackdown Women's
Championship.
Flair and Lynch later faced off against Tamina and Natalya in a Tag Team Match
that was spoiled by Lana. The Ravishing Russian distracted Flair in
order for Tamina to nail The Queen with a devastating kick for the three
count.
Also on Smackdown Live, WWE Champion Jinder Mahal defeated Tye Dillinger; Xavier Woods defeated Jey Uso; Shinsuke Nakamura and Baron Corbin were involved in a raucous brawl; and Sami Zayn was assaulted by lovers Maria and Mike Kanellis.
