Ricochet vs. AJ Styles US title match official for WWE Extreme Rules
The United States Championship match is now official for Extreme Rules.
Prior to this week’s Raw, WWE announced that Ricochet will defend his US title against AJ Styles at Sunday’s pay-per-view. Styles turned heel and officially reunited with Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson after losing to Ricochet on Raw last week.
Ricochet has faced Styles on Raw the past two weeks. Styles defeated him in a non-title match on June 24. Styles appeared to win the title from Ricochet last Monday, but the match was restarted due to Ricochet’s foot being under the bottom rope. Ricochet then retained before being attacked by Styles, Gallows, and Anderson in the post-match angle.
Ricochet became US Champion by defeating Samoa Joe at Stomping Grounds last month.
