Samoa Joe becomes AJ Styles' SummerSlam opponent in vicious fashion: SmackDown LIVE, July 24, 2018

After being WWE Champion for 257 days, AJ Styles experiences the full force of the Superstar who will challenge him at SummerSlam.

Samoa Joe made a huge statement last Tuesday, revealing himself as the next challenger for AJ Styles’ WWE Championship by putting The Phenomenal One to sleep with the excruciating Coquina Clutch, then signing his name to the SummerSlam contract. Samoa Joe seemed extremely confident as he said “tick tock” while walking away from the carnage, seemingly counting down the time on Styles’ reign.

How will the WWE Champion deal with such a monstrous challenger when both men are in the same building on SmackDown LIVE?
