I usually hate double champions, but I'd be feeling AJ Styles with the WWE and IC belts right now. Styles beats Ambrose at Backlash by burying that forearm into his fucking face. Dolph Ziggler wins the IC Title when he kicks Miz right in his smug mug. Ziggler comes out on SmackDown, looks at his IC Title and says that it sure is pretty, and it is a part of many great legacies, but he's done this song and dance before. He's won this title five times now -- everyone knows he's at this level, but he needs to prove that he can be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He needs to get AJ Styles in the ring, and he'll put his belt on the line to do it.
No Mercy is then headlined by AJ Styles vs. Dolph Ziggler -- Title for Title. Dolph cuts promos heading into it about how he watched The Ultimate Warrior beat Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 6 and all that. Styles talks about how he's the best wrestler in the world and he's beaten John Cena and Dean Ambrose in back-to-back showings. Ziggler's done at No Mercy.
The two tear it down. Dolph maybe even gets a lucky Superkick off a Phenomenal Forearm attempt, but he kicks Styles out of the ring and can't capitalize. Styles eventually wins the match and walks out with both belts. Then you do whatever it was you were going to do with Dolph. Styles starts defending both belts at the same time. So their histories are continued, they're just both on AJ Styles. He takes both into the main event of WrestleMania with him.
