Kevin Owens became a three-time United States Champion when he was able to defeat AJ Styles at WWE Battleground in 2017.

This was Styles' first Championship defense since surprisingly winning the title at a WWE home show in New York just two weeks before.

Styles' short title reign left many members of the WWE Universe questioning the finish of the match, before it was later revealed that the match didn't end the way it was planned.

Owens was able to win the Championship via a roll-up, but just days later on the following episode of SmackDown Live, Styles was able to regain the Championship which confirmed the error.

Chris Jericho appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio where he confirmed that the end of the match was a botch.

“The idea was for me to work with AJ on Tuesday, and do nothing with Kevin. And then the match happened on the Sunday and they legitimately screwed it up, it happens sometimes – the finish didn’t work… whatever happened."

WWE was able to correct the mistake just days later and the storyline was still able to go ahead as planned, with just a slight delay.
