Daniel Bryan defeated AJ Styles in the main event of tonight’s episode of SmackDown LIVE to become the new WWE Champion. The finish of the match saw Bryan hit a low blow on Styles. Bryan then turned heel and attacked Styles after the match, laughing at him while the beat-down continued.
Bryan is now a four-time WWE Champion. Styles won the title back on November 7th, 2017 by defeating Jinder Mahal on an episode of SmackDown LIVE in England. Bryan will now go on to Sunday’s Survivor Series PPV Event to face WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar because of the title change.
Below are the photos and the videos from tonight’s title change in St. Louis at The Enterprise Center:
