RICHMOND, Va. — Before new United States Champion Kevin Owens could gloat too much about defeating AJ Styles to win back the title at WWE Battleground or get too far into detailing his plan to bring back his United States Title Open Challenge, The Phenomenal One interrupted to demand his rematch against Owens tonight.

However, both KO and Styles were met with a huge shock when Chris Jericho burst onto the scene to make his electric return to SmackDown LIVE. Jericho, who was viciously taken out by Owens several months ago, was also due for a United States Title rematch and wanted it, yup, tonight. This prompted SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon to decree that tonight’s main event would feature all three Superstars in a Triple Threat Match for the United States Championship, much to the delight of the WWE Universe and the chagrin of The New Face of America.

After recapturing the United States Title from AJ Styles at WWE Battleground, Kevin Owens attempts to announce the return of the New Face of America Open Challenge, only for The Phenomenal One and a returning Chris Jericho to interrupt him.
