AJ Styles and Samoa Joe had two championship matches so far. This is a dream match for the fans ever since these two names came under the Smackdown Live brand. They are veteran wrestlers who competed all around the globe before finally arriving at the WWE. Expectations were that the in-ring specialists have saved their very best for the big league.
But both the matches between AJ Styles and Samoa Joe fell short to expectations. The WWE Championship match at Summerslam got disqualified after the champ attacked his opponent with ruthless aggression. This set up a rematch at Hell in a Cell which witnessed a chaotic and abrupt finish. Samoa Joe was the actual winner since AJ Styles tapped out at one point.
But the referee never witnessed it and counted pinfalls in favor of AJ Styles. It allowed the Phenomenal One to retain his title at the bygone PPV in sheer controversies. Smackdown GM had to confirm yet another rematch between them at the Super Show Down to address the situation. This time around, the match will take place in an ‘anything goes’ capacity. There should be a definite winner, as well.
To make things official, we received a championship contract signing on Smackdown Live. AJ Styles and Samoa Joe were present at the same ring at the same time to pen down their signature on the papers. Before the segment aired on Smackdown, Paige had a meeting with AJ Styles to ensure that nothing goes too far on the main event slot.
She also arranged security enforcement before the championship contract signing took place on the show. But fortunately for her, nothing went beyond as Samoa Joe did not even bother to come out to put his signature on the paper. Only AJ Styles showed up talking about how he is going to retain his WWE Championship at Melbourne, Australia putting away his opponent.
Samoa Joe appeared on the video tron declaring that he was standing outside Styles’ house. He might have met with his wife, Wendy Styles to make a promise that AJ Styles will be home. It’s a travesty that the champion was not spending time with his wife but rather attending Smackdown in Denver, Colorado. Samoa Joe advised to pick his phone but AJ Styles left it at the backstage area.
Meanwhile, Samoa Joe took out a doll that resembled AJ’s daughter. This angry feeling will exactly be the same for the champion when he loses the title at WWE Super Show Down. The promo ended in a nasty way when Joe called AJ’s home to be ‘daddy’s home’ after October 6th with Joe becoming a new father for Styles’ children. The rivalry stands way beyond a bad blood at this point. So the No Disqualification match from Smackdown at Australia is the only way to settle things.
