Kevin Owens had been the United States Champion and he also had been declaring himself “The Face of America” despite the fact that the Canadian-born Owens was clearly against the United States. Sportskeeda reports that Owens was always set to lose the title to AJ Styles at either Battleground or the MSG live event that he did lose it at. The report claims that WWE feels that they have too many antt-American characters on their shows now. Rusev and Jinder Mahal also portray similar characters, the company decided to take the title off of Owens and revamp his character as a result. AJ Styles also has a new DVD coming out and the company decided to end filming on it by having Styles win a title.
