3. WWE Title Match Set For WrestleMania 33, Randy Orton Added To The Match?
On tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles faced Luke Harper with the winner of the match facing Bray Wyatt for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 33.
Styles hit a Phenomenal Forearm on Harper and secured a pinfall, but Harper’s foot was clearly on the bottom rope.
This lead to SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon coming out and restarting the match. The action was on the outside and Harper accidentally Superkicked Shane O’Mac.
Styles then hit a springboard 450 on Harper & got the win. Styles will now face Bray Wyatt for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 33!
