AJ Styles is the new WWE World Champion after defeating Dean Ambrose in the main event of WWE Backlash. After a hard fought match that saw the crowd strongly favoring Styles, the Phenomenal One got the pinfall after a ref bump, low kick and Styles Clash to Ambrose.
AJ Styles made his WWE debut earlier this year at the Royal Rumble. In 8 short months, he’s solidified himself as one of the best workers in the company and now holds the richest prize of the game.
