As seen at last night’s WWE Backlash pay-per-view event, AJ Styles was victorious in the main event as he defeated Dean Ambrose to take home the WWE world title at the inaugural SmackDown brand-exclusive PPV event on Sunday night.
This marks the first title win in WWE for AJ Styles, and the first WWE world title win of his career. He’s now held the major world titles in WWE, NJPW, and TNA.
