According to several live reports from last night’s WWE Smackdown Live tapings in Laredo, Texas, WWE hosted a ‘KFC Colonel Rumble’ match that was won by AJ Styles.

It appears that the match was set up to shoot footage for a new KFC commercial. KFC is a current sponsor of WWE and has used Dolph Ziggler and Shawn Michaels in previous ads, with Heath Slater playing the ‘villainous’ Puppers Chicken. Check out highlights from the Rumble match below:
