For the second time in nine days, a WWE Championship match between AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura ended without a clear winner.

The first match took place at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, where the two were both counted out as the continued to fight outside the ring near the announce tables. That finish, combined with Nakamura hitting Styles with low blows multiple times in recent weeks, led SmackDown Live General Manager Paige to make their rematch at Backlash a No Disqualification match.

Given the talent of the two wrestlers, the match started off better than either of their previous two title fights. Nakamura looked to have the advantage early, but Styles finally rallied after his face was busted open from a thrown steel chair.

The final sequence however had the two each kick each other below the belt, and neither were able to make it back to their feet by the referee's 10 count.

The fans in the arena at the Prudential Center in Newark were unhappy by the finish. Meanwhile the fans watching along at home were downright furious.
