Owens dropped the title to Styles at a house show the other night. There's some speculation that he may end up back in the main event title scene after his DVD/Blu-Ray that dropped recently sold incredibly well. I guess both versions sold out on Amazon and they're also flying off the shelves of brick and mortar stores.
You think AJ vs Owens? for battleground is scrapped?
I did some googling.

this one has AJ inferring Owens wont get an immediate rematch.
There might be more to the story regarding WWE’s decision to have Kevin Owens drop the United States Championship to
AJ Styles on Friday night.
Dave Meltzer noted on
Wrestling Observer Radio that he does not know what the story is behind them taking the title from him but he is certain that there is a story behind it and he will try to find out. What is known is that it was a late decision so this was not something that was in the plans earlier this week. Owens was hurting at the last pay-per-view but continued to work so it’s possible that an injury forced WWE’s hand on Friday night. I will add that the Owens vs. Styles match at Battleground is no longer listed on
WWE.com and Owens has removed the header and his profile pic from his Twitter account and he has posted anything on Twitter since Wednesday.
WWE has posted footage of AJ Styles’ United States title win from Friday night’s house show at Madison Square Garden. A clip of the match can be seen below and scroll down further for post-match comments from Styles. Styles put over his match with
Chad Gable at last week’s
Smackdown Live but then he questioned whether or not Owens would be getting an immediate rematch. Styles said, “maybe Kevin Owens has to go through a battle royal to be the number 1 contender for the United States Champion. Maybe something like that.” He added, “maybe me chatting it up with Daniel Bryan – we’ll see what we can do.”
heh its look like some of the magazine rags don't like KO
