Samoa Joe savagely assaulted Mustafa Ali before their scheduled match on SmackDown LIVE last week, with The Samoan Submission Machine absolutely brutalizing Ali during the ambush. The Samoan Submission Machine would cite that his reason for the attack was to send a message to every Superstar ahead of Royal Rumble … but Ali won’t stand to be made an example of.
The two are now scheduled to face off again this Tuesday night. Will SmackDown LIVE’s newest sensation gain a measure of retribution, or will Joe continue to build his own brutal brand of momentum heading into the Men’s Royal Rumble Match?
