New United States Champion Crowned at “Hell In A Cell”

But which challenger was it? As we came into “Hell in a Cell 2017”, AJ Styles was scheduled to defend the United States Title against Baron Corbin. This feud had been set up for over a month now but there was the added element of Tye Dillinger, who had been hanging around the feud and even pinned Corbin earlier this week. Well something changed before the show started and it adjusted the way the title match went.

During the Kickoff Show, Dillinger was added to the title match to make it a triple threat. Dillinger also played into the finish as Styles hit him with the Phenomenal Forearm but Corbin came in and stole the pin to become champion. This is Corbin’s first title in professional wrestling and the win ended Styles’ second reign.

Here’s part of the match:

AJ Styles vs. Tye Dillinger vs. Baron Corbin - US Title Triple Threat Match: WWE Hell in a Cell 2017

Opinion: Corbin winning was one of the better options they had for the title as it frees Styles up to go on towards the main event scene again. There are some options to challenge Corbin for the title and hopefully there are some good matches to be had in there. Dillinger was a good choice to put into the match as well as he was a part of the story the whole time and it wouldn’t have made sense to leave him out.

Are you glad Corbin won the title? How long do you think he’ll hold the title for? Let us know in the comments below.
