Dean Ambrose vs AJ Styles Announced For WWE Backlash
After a decisive victory over former 15 time World Champion John Cena at Summerslam, AJ Styles now considers himself as “the face that runs the place” and #1 contender to the WWE Championship. Smackdown GM Daniel Bryan couldn’t agree more and made the match for Backlash, Smackdown Live’s first ever exclusive pay-per-view available at the WWE Network.
Bryan also forced AJ to wrestle Dolph Ziggler on Smackdown with the stipulation being that Ziggler would be competing for entry into the Backlash Title Match making it a Triple Threat. Styles destroyed Ziggler with a Styles Clash and has champion Dean Ambrose all to himself.
