A huge matchup has been confirmed for WWE Backlash.
AJ Styles defeated LA Knight in the opener of this evening’s SmackDown event in Pittsburgh, and will now go on to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Backlash in France. The Phenomenal One picked up the win after hitting his signature flying forearm after poking Knight in the eye.
