The new WWE Champion AJ Styles got a huge reception from the UK crowd once again on the night, as he made his first title defence against “The Maharaja” and “The Artist” on the night.
As expected the match was brilliant, thanks to the inclusion of Nakamura in it but the former NXT Champion was not able to win the belt off Styles after “The Phenomenal One” pinned Jinder Mahal following a Phenomenal Forearm.
First appearance as a two-time WWE Champion is officially a wrap. Couldn't have asked for a better opponent than the Artist tonight. Thank you, #WWELeeds. pic.twitter.com/aGKYithNPU
