WWE Title #1 Contender’s Match Set For 4/22 WWE SmackDown

The ongoing feud between AJ Styles and LA Knight will come to a boil next week, as the pair face off in a #1 Contender’s Match for the WWE Universal Championship.

Tonight’s episode of SmackDown saw the introduction of a series of matches that would determine two superstars who would face off for the right to be the first person to go up against Cody Rhodes for his newly won title.

In the first match, Knight beat Bobby Lashley and Santos Escobar after Legado Del Fantasma and the Street Profits got involved. Knight would win by hitting the BFT on Escobar.

In the main event of the night, Styles came out on top in a match against Kevin Owens and Rey Mysterio. Styles hit a big Styles Clash on Rey for the win. After that match, Knight took to the ring, and the pair stared each other down while yelling about who would win.
