A new match has been announced for the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel PPV. As seen on this week’s episode of SmackDown Live in Atlanta, GA at the State Farm Arena on the USA Network, AJ Styles successfully retained the WWE Title over Daniel Bryan in the opening match.
This contest was supposed to happen at Crown Jewel but due to Bryan refusing to go to the country, WWE booked this match on SmackDown instead. After the match, Samoa Joe attacked both Bryan and Styles. It was later announced that Joe would challenge Styles for the WWE Title at Crown Jewel.
