AJ Styles Cheats to Beat Dean Ambrose, Win WWE Title

AJ Styles, who has wrestled all over the planet and has a phenomenal set of in-ring skills, defeated Dean Ambrose at WWE Backlash tonight to win the WWE championship belt. At the end of the match, the referee got bumped, Styles hit Ambrose with a low blow, and then hit him with the Styles Clash to get the pin.

Styles has cultivated a strong heel persona over the last few months, and this finish was very logical within the confines of the storyline. It will be fun to watch him work with the title belt as a prop in the foreseeable future.
