AJ Styles to Defend WWE Intercontinental Title Against Matt Riddle Next Week on Smackdown

Submitted by Jeff Whalen on


-- After defeating him in a non-title match last month in his Smackdown debut, Matt Riddle finally gets a title shot against reigning Intercontinental champion AJ Styles next week on Friday Night Smackdown. Riddle has storylines going with both Styles and King Corbin since joining Smackdown and it was expected that the match against Styles might have been held off until the Extreme Rules PPV.
