Hell in a Cell 2018 : 5 possible endings for AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe

AJ Styles has been on his 2nd reign as the WWE Champion for almost 10 months. He has defended the title successfully against the likes of Jinder Mahal, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Rusev. However, his greatest challenge came in the form of Samoa Joe when Smackdown Live's GM Paige made their match and Joe ambushed Styles from behind.

AJ Styles vs Joe at Summerslam ended in a disqualification victory for Joe when AJ lost his temper. Joe was granted a rematch at Hell in a Cell.

Since then, Joe has been at his best with his promos and has made the feud personal by including AJ's wife and daughter into the mix.

In this article, we are going through 5 possible endings for Styles vs Joe at Hell in a Cell.

#5 Joe wins clean

Joe can be the last man standing

Lets get the most clamored one out of the way first. After a disqualification win at Summerslam, Joe has been carrying the build up for the match with some excellent mic work. Its high time that Joe finally wins a title on the main roster.

Styles vs Joe has the potential to be the show-stealing match of the night. A title change with Joe winning clean would just be the icing on the cake.

#4 Wendy distracts AJ

The whole feud between AJ and Joe is built around the fact that AJ is never there for his family because he is out there defending the title across the globe and entertaining the WWE Universe. Joe has included AJ's wife Wendy and their daughter in this feud making it personal for AJ.

Wendy can be a crucial factor in this match up. If she gets successfully manipulated by Joe, she might distract AJ and help Joe win. As a result, AJ is relieved of his duties as WWE Champion. She would do this for herself, her daughter, and more importantly, for AJ's sake.

#3 AJ loses his temper again

Joe and Styles were having one of the better PPV matches in AJ's title reign when Joe began talking to his wife and daughter. AJ just got aggravated and took out all his frustration on Joe with a steel chair, causing a disqualification.

What if Joe again tries to cross the line by interacting with AJ's wife and daughter, it might trigger AJ to again looe his temper and extend the feud. Hell in a Cell is a B-PPV, and with WWE Super Show Down on the horizon, a title change could be saved for a grander stage.

#2 A double turn

AJ has remained a face over a year now, and is in constant need of refreshing his character, more so if he wants to prolong his title reign. AJ has been slowly and steadily giving in to his anger while Joe has been winning the WWE universe with his promos.

While it might be difficult to pull off a double turn mid match, if done properly, can significantly improve their feud and take it to the next level. It could rival the likes of Bryan vs the Miz for the feud of the year.

#1 Nakamura attacks AJ

Nakamura must be looking to get one up on Styles

Nakamura wasn't able to beat AJ throughout their feud for the title. He turned heel during the process as well but that too didn't fetch him the title. So, in kayfabe, Nakamura must be agitated to get one over AJ. Moreover, he is without a feud at the moment and a US championship feud would be a nice way to swiftly drift away from the main event without AJ losing out on his momentum.

Joe and Styles would be fighting it out in the middle, and just near the ending, when AJ is preparing for his finisher, Nakamura would appear and cause the distraction, which Joe would capitalize on and win. Nakamura would then attack AJ, leaving him lifeless in the ring and thus restarting their feud, but this time, Nakamura would be the champion.
