5 questions from WWE Battleground we most need answering

#4 Did AJ Styles know he was being counted?

Not the ending we wanted.

The weirdest moment of the night - including the return of the Great Khali - had to be the finish to AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens in the United States Championship match. The whole thing felt so strange and sucked the life out of what was a pretty decent match up.

When you do a referee bump, it normally leads to some kind of outside interference or one of the competitors getting a pinfall/submission without the ref being there to call the decision.

Instead, this ref bump last night had no discernable purpose whatsoever. He even regained his sensibilities in time to count the pinfall.

And speaking of the pinfall, why did AJ not even attempt to struggle out of it? He initially had the upper hand, holding Owens in a submission hold. All he had to do was let go of his hold in order to escape the three-count. Instead, he just laid there waiting for his defeat.

Owens being crowned the new champion after the house show title change a few weeks ago was weird enough, but the way this match ended just made everyone involved look incompetent, especially AJ Styles.

Presumably, this means the two will face off again at Summerslam, and I think most of us are hoping they can step it up a little bit. There has been nothing wrong so far with the action to this feud, but we know they can both do better.
