The "low-blow" saga continues.
Tonight at WWE's 'Backlash' event "The Phenomenal One" AJ Styles put his WWE Championship on the line against his rival Shinsuke Nakamura for the third time this year. The two superstars' last match-up took place at the 'Greatest Royal Rumble' event in Saudi Arabia and during the contest they both became so engaged with trying to beat one anotheไr down that they were counted out by the officia🉐l.
At Wres⭕tleMania 34 Shinsuke Nakamura fell sh♉ort to AJ Styles and in-doing so failed to become WWE Champion. Since then "The King Of Strong Style" has been on a streak of "low-blowing" the WWE Champion. Their match tonight🎐 at 'Backlash' was converted into a No-DQ match to give the two competitors free range to tear one another apart.
In what was a back-and-forth contest the "low-blow" maneuver made its way into the equation numerous times throughout the match. Both♊ Styles and Nakamura delivered their individual cheap shots. The end of the contest saw both men conn꧟ect with their respective "low-blows" which dropped the pair to the mat. Styles & Nakamura were unable to answer the referee's count of ten and with the champions advantage on his side, AJ Styles retained the WWE Championship.
