Per Dave Meltzer's Twitter. The match took place at a Madison Square Garden house show tonight.

I think WWE is doing this as a kickback against New Japan, who got a lot of buzz by giving their US title to Kenny Omega.

I also think it's possible they are working toward an AJ/Nakamura title match at Summer Slam, although I hope they save that for Wrestlemania.

Come on WWE, you can't have titles change hands on dark shows.

We invest a lot of time in your product and that ruins it.

AJ Styles winning the US title from Kevin Owens at MSG was brilliant business from WWE - Cageside Seats

I don't really care one way or the other, but I thought a lot of good points were brought up. The key is publicizing the brains out of this.

AJ is wrestling Owens and Corbin in a Triple threat match right now.

Owens is supposely injuried.
