WWE SmackDown video highlights: Main event ends in controversy

As part of the ongoing storyline where Randy Orton refuses to face Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania, it was advertised that a new number one contender for the WWE Championship would be decided on Tuesday night.

That didn’t end up happening. The battle royal main event came down to AJ Styles and Luke Harper, with WWE claiming that the two hit the floor at the same time. They’ll face each other next week with the winner supposedly getting a title shot at WrestleMania.

Last night’s SmackDown also featured Naomi relinquishing her Women’s title, a new champion being crowned, and the beginnings of some build for WrestleMania between John Cena, Nikki Bella, The Miz, and Maryse.
