Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles will finally meet in an Intercontinental Championship rematch on the September 11th episode of SmackDown.
Jeff Hardy defeated AJ Styles for the championship in WWE’s debut inside of ThunderDome and even though Sami Zayn is back in the title picture, these two rivals will go one-on-one for the championship on network television.
The chaos surrounding the Intercontinental Championship was ratcheted up with the return of Sami Zayn, but Jeff Hardy will walk into Friday Night SmackDown with a major challenge awaiting in the ring. The Charismatic Enigma will face AJ Styles in an Intercontinental Title clash of rivals on the blue brand.
Hardy reclaimed the workhouse championship in a gritty win over The Phenomenal One, but the outspoken Superstar has been crying foul ever since Hardy’s dramatic triumph. The reemergence of Zayn threw another wrench into the title picture, as The Great Liberator has staked claim to the championship as well. The three competitors brawled inside the squared circle last week on SmackDown, and it was Zayn who walked up the ramp with a wry smile after delivering a Helluva Kick to Hardy.
Will Hardy be able to keep the focus on the ring and defend his title against the skillful Styles? Or will Zayn make his presence felt once again?
Tune in to Friday Night SmackDown at 8/7 C on FOX to see the championship showdown.
WrestleZone will have live coverage of Friday Night SmackDown beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern tomorrow night.
