Jeff Hardy vs Sami Zayn vs AJ Styles feud in brief

On May 12, 2020, WWE stripped Sami Zayn from his Intercontinental championship as the superstar didn’t defend his title for close to 65 days. Even though Sami Zayn criticised WWE’s move, the promotion went on to host a tournament for the IC title which was won by AJ Styles. After becoming the champion, AJ Styles defended his title numerous times but went on to lose his title to Jeff Hardy on the August 21 episode of WWE SmackDown.

A week later, Jeff Hardy retained his title against Shinsuke Nakamura but was attacked by Sami Zayn, who made his return with his Intercontinental title in his hand – a title he had refused to drop earlier. Sami Zayn claimed himself to be the "real" Intercontinental Champion as he didn’t lose the title to anyone. On this week’s SmackDown, Sami Zayn slammed Jeff Hardy and hailed himself as the best. Jeff Hardy confronted Sami Zayn for attacking him last week, while AJ Styles made his way to the ring to demand a rematch for the Intercontinental Championship.
