AJ Styles and Matt Riddle's main event clash delivered in terms of in-ring content on this week's WWE SmackDown. Styles' Intercontinental Title was on the line as well, and although Riddle controlled most of the bout, The Phenomenal One's experience prevailed at the end of the night.

It was after the match when Styles appeared as if he wanted to shake his opponent's hand, and as both of them proceeded to do the same, King Corbin interfered and took out his frustrations on Matt Riddle.

Initially, it looked as if Styles wanted to step out of his current WWE persona for a bit, but things became more apparent when Corbin entered the scene.

I don't know if Corbin vs. Riddle is a program that WWE fans would be keenly interested to watch. Don't get me wrong, King Corbin is one of the most effective heels and he gets people to despise the character every time, but that also makes it harder for the WWE Universe to constantly invest in his feuds every week.
