WWE SmackDown video highlights: John Cena vs. AJ Styles

John Cena and AJ Styles faced off in their first televised singles match since the 2017 Royal Rumble on last night’s episode of SmackDown.

Their non-title match was made after Cena opened the show with a promo about wanting to earn his way to WrestleMania through being added to the WWE Championship main event at Fastlane. Cena was given the chance to make the title match a six-pack challenge if he defeated Styles, and he ended up getting out of the Calf Crusher and hitting an Attitude Adjustment to get the pin.

Before that, Styles refused to take a countout win and tried to get Cena back in the ring. Cena responded by hitting an AA through the announce table and trying to win by countout, but Styles made it back just in time. Everyone who will be in the Fastlane main event came down following the match, with Cena standing tall after hitting another AA on Dolph Ziggler.

Also on SmackDown, The Usos went face-to-face with New Day before being interrupted by The Bludgeon Brothers, Ruby Riott took on Naomi, and Shinsuke Nakamura was in action against Aiden English.
