AJ Styles will be in singles action on tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown. He will face Finn Balor in a highly anticipated singles match between the two men.

Styles and Balor have a lot of history with each other. The two men initially crossed paths in 2017 at the TLC premium live event. Fast forward to 2022, the two former Bullet Club leaders collided only for the second time in WWE at the Survivor Series PLE.
In recent weeks, Styles has had his fair share of issues with The Bloodline and The Judgment Day. He will aim to secure a big victory over Balor in their trilogy bout.

AJ Styles, on the other hand, was recently in action against Solo Sikoa on SmackDown. The Phenomenal One suffered a major loss after interference from Jimmy Uso, who has once again seemingly pledged allegiance to The Bloodline.
The former WWE Champion did get back to his winning ways by defeating Jimmy on last week's SmackDown.
