WWE Smackdown report: Find out if jobber James Ellsworth caused the biggest upset of all-time against AJ Styles

AJ STYLES retained his WWE World Title against the ultimate underdog James Ellsworth on Smackdown Live, but still left the show a frustrated figure thanks to Dean Ambrose.

The title match was made by General Manager Daniel Bryan after Ellsworth's shock victory, aided by Ambrose, over Styles last week.

And of course Ambrose, who was special guest official for the upset, could not resist making his presence felt again.

After helping psyche underdog Ellsworth up for the match of his life by presenting him with his own WWE t-shirt, the former champ was told he could not officiate this clash again with the belt on the line.

But he made his way to the arena to perform the duty of ring announcer and timekeeper.

The Lunatic Fringe's fun did not end there, as he continued to torment the man who took the title from him throughout the contest.

And it got the better of Styles, as he lost the match to Ellsworth by disqualification after ignoring the referee's five count, although he did keep hold of his gold.

Astonishingly, the jobber now holds more victories over Syles than John Cena - and if that wasn't bad enough the champ was hit with a Dirty Deeds for good measure!

Randy Orton kicked off the show by telling Bray Wyatt he was still coming for him despite his recent defeat at No Mercy – before the New Face of Fear appeared on the titantron laid inside a casket.

Bray told Orton: “Get a hold of yourself. You don’t come after me. I’m coming after you.”

With that Wyatt family member Luke Harper entered the arena to begin his match with Orton, but the action was cut short as Bray’s music hit and he was brought down to ringside by his minions as he lay smiling inside the casket.

The action continued inside the ring until Bray interfered to cause a disqualification, but the fearsome duo were stopped mid-beatdown by the emergence of Kane inside the casket.

The Big Red Machine helped the Viper to gain the upper hand in the scrap until the lights went out allowing their foes to disappear.

No1 contender for Becky Lynch’s Women’s Championship Alexa Bliss was in action next taking on Naomi.

Having suffered a defeat to the same opponent at the last WWE pay-per-view, Bliss gained revenge with pinfall victory before telling Lynch “In three weeks there is no more fairy tale.”

The belt will be on the line when the women meet in Glasgow next month.

Curt Hawkins made his in-ring return after an absence of nearly three years when he took on Apollo Crews.

Well, the return was not official as such, as Hawkins left the arena before the bell had even rung as his pre-match smack talking was met with a fist to the nose by Crews.

The wait for his debut goes on…

Back to the women's division, the tension between Carmella and Nikki Bella is intensifying.

The Princess Of Staten Island was mouthing off in the ring when Nikki confronted her in the ring, only to be branded a "gold digger" by Carmella for her relationship with Cena.

Bella refused to take that laying down, but it was her nemesis who won the war of words on this occasion.

Six-man tag action was in store for the WWE Universe next as Intercontinental title holder Dolph Ziggler paired up with tag champions Beauty and the Man Beast, Heath Slater and Rhyno.

The trio in gold were left disappointed, however, as their opponents of the Spirit Squad and The Miz scored a roll-up victory on Slater.

Jack Swagger squared-off against Baron Corbin in a singles match to continue their recent feud.

Both men had shared a win apiece in recent weeks, but Corbin was the victor in Denver after hitting his finisher End of Days and pinning the two-time all-American.
