8 New SmackDown Match-Ups Created By WWE's Superstar Shakeup

8. AJ Styles Vs. Kevin Owens

Realistically, we should be seeing an AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens showdown sometime after Payback. The US Champion is currently booked in a rematch with Chris Jericho for the pay per view on April 30th, and KO is widely expected to walk out of California with his title reign intact - thereby securing himself a place on the SmackDown roster.

AJ Styles has already lived up to his side of the bargain, besting Baron Corbin and Sami Zayn in this week's SmackDown main event - an impressive triple threat match to determine the number one contender to the US Championship. Casual and hardcore fans alike should be immensely excited for a potential match between Styles and Owens, given their impressive indie pedigree and explosive (if relatively brief) WWE careers so far.
