The main event segment that took place last night on RAW from The American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas saw “The Phenomenal One” AJ Styles reunite The Club with Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson and turn heel on The WWE United States Champion Ricochet by triple teaming him with a viscous beatdown and standing over him to end the show.
The WWE United States Champion Ricochet retained his WWE United States Title in the main event of the evening, but with some controversy attached to it as AJ Styles was declared the winner and The New WWE United States Champion just minutes before it was announced that Ricochet retained his title and this all happened because the match was re-started due to Ricochet’s leg being under the bottom rope.
After the match, Ricochet & AJ Styles shook hands in the middle of the ring until Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson stood in front of AJ Styles and that is when the beatdown began. It is expected that Ricochet will be defending his WWE United States Title against AJ Styles at the upcoming WWE Extreme Rules PPV Event. You can check out AJ Styles’ heel turn in the photos and the videos below:
