WWE just announced WWE Champion AJ Styles will take on Sami Zayn on next week’s episode of SmackDown. It will be a non-title match and the first one-on-one encounter between the two Superstars on SmackDown.
Earlier this week, Styles took on Kevin Owens and lost, thanks to a distraction by Zayn. Owens was able to take advantage and win via roll-up. Below is WWE’s announcement on Twitter.
