This week on SmackDown, AJ Styles battled Karrion Kross in a one-on-one match. The two superstars delivered a decent match, and the crowd was hot for the Phenomenal One. However, Styles made a major botch in his match against Kross, which did not go unnoticed.
During the match, Styles went for a Moonsault Reverse DDT on Karrion Kross. Unable to land properly, he made a significant botch. Following that, Styles went for a suplex, but wasn’t able to lift Karrion Kross. The latter fell awkwardly and made another botch in the match.
Karrion Kross and AJ Styles have been involved in a boiling feud since Night of Champions. The two men have been involved in a number of matches since then. On the recent episode of SmackDown, these two were involved in yet another match, where Styles defeated Kross. However, the highlight of their match was the botch that was made. Watch the video here.
Despite being one of the top stars, AJ Styles has been involved in lackluster feuds. Fans believe that The Phenomenal One deserves a major push on the roster. It will be interesting to see what lies ahead for the WWE veteran. The direction of the Phenomenal One has been a matter of concern for many fans.
AJ Styles’ scrapped plans for this week’s SmackDown
According to PWInsider, WWE’s original plan this week was to have a no-disqualification match between AJ Styles and Karrion Kross. However, the idea was dropped at the last minute by the creative. The possible reason behind scrapping the original plans has not been revealed yet.
However, according to speculation, WWE scrapped the plans because it already had major things on the show for this week. They wanted Rey Mysterio’s win and The Bloodline segment to be the main focus and headline of the show. Having a No-DQ match would have surely outshadowed the other happenings on the show.
Although fans cheered for AJ Styles in the match, they were upset about his creative bookings. It still remains a question whether WWE has put an end to this feud or is planning to stretch it further. It will be interesting to see the possible directions of AJ Styles and Karrion Kross from here on out.
