Next week AJ Styles will defend the WWE World Championship against Dean Ambrose in the main event of WWE Smackdown. However, in the end, Ambrose defeated Cena after the former blocked an Attitude Adjustment and rolled Cena up for the pin. Carmella got her team disqualified right away as she pulled Nikki out of the ring and attacked her on the outside even though Natalya had Nikki in a Sharpshooter at the time. Ambrose, who has recovered by then, came from behind and assaulted Styles.
