WWE Smackdown: AJ Styles will defend his title in EPIC SummerSlam match against Samoa Joe
AJ STYLES will defend the WWE Championship at SummerSlam against Samoa Joe.
WWE superstar AJ Styles launches scathing off-air attack on producers
Styles was attacked by Joe on Smackdown before the blue brand’s General Manager Paige got to announce the WWE Champion’s next challenger.
Paige left the ring after firing James Ellsworth, who tried to crash the announcement, and then The Destroyer locked the champion in a Coquina Clutch.
Fans have been wanting to see the former indy stars lock horns in a WWE ring ever since Samoa Joe joined Smackdown and they will get their wish on August 19 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Things didn’t go the way Paige hoped they would and so she confronted Joe after the attack demanding an explanation.
But what I did? That was phenomenal
The former NXT Champion told the Smackdown GM: “What you had planned; that was pedestrian. But what I did? That was phenomenal.”
Styles and Samoa Joe have a lot of history with each other as they both made a name for themselves during their TNA days.
They both were part of one of the greatest ever matches in Impact Wrestling history 13 years ago at Unbreakable.
The Phenomenal One and The Destroyer competed in a Triple Threat Match, that also included Christopher Daniels, for the X Division Championship.
Both of them became TNA World Heavyweight Champions and also beat some of the greatest ever legends like Sting, Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash.
