<p>While appearing on <a href="https://art19.com/shows/ecs-pod-of-awesomeness" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Edge & Christian’s podcast</a>, <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/aj-styles" title="AJ Styles">AJ Styles</a></strong> revealed that it was actually <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/vince-mcmahon" title="Vince McMahon">Vince McMahon</a></strong>’s idea for <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/Kevin-Owens" title="Kevin Owens">Kevin Owens</a></strong> to drop the United States Championship title to him at the Madison Square Garden event a few weeks back.</p><p><em>“To me, it’s smart. It’s something that hasn’t been done in a long time and to do it at Madison Square Garden and everybody with WWE knows that’s a big deal. I think it was awesome. I think it was very clever and I loved it.”</em></p><p>Styles recalled, <em>“there was a pop, ‘he won! Yes!’ but, ‘well, who’s going to walk out there?’ and then, there was another pop because nobody walked out there. It was really cool, but it was smart to not do that every year, but every couple of years to do something like that. I think it just came down to doing something different and it was Vince’s call and no one else’s. And yeah, it was great.”</em></p><p>Styles went on to explain how he wouldn’t be surprised to see the WWE Championship change hands at a SmackDown Live live event.</p><p><em>“You never know. And who knows? When the guys wrestling, whoever it may be wrestling Jinder Mahal, they may switch it. If you’ve got John Cena working Jinder Mahal on the main event or whatever, it could possibly happen. That’s a good idea. That’s a business move to some extent.”</em></p>
