WWE Backlash 2017: 5 surprising moments from the PPV

If you thought this actually would happen... you are lying

#2 The finish to the US Title Match

I am ready for another match between these two!

It was not surprising that AJ Styles versus Kevin Owens was the match of the night. They have constantly produced high-quality matches and the match-up is a pretty fresh feud, all things considered. It even made a lot of sense for Owens to defend the title through underhanded means.

But the way it ended is one of the more unique count outs we have ever seen in the WWE.

The match did a good job of having Owens work on Styles’ leg so it made some sense that an unusual incident would end the match. AJ went for a Styles Clash on the announce table and fell into the hole the monitor would have been. As AJ tried to escape, he got caught in some wires in the table.

This allowed the unique count-out ending to occur. Even better, that unique ending allows for a clear rematch at Money in the Bank. That makes it all the better in my mind.
