AJ Styles and Samoa Joe faced each other for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam after a deeply personal rivalry. Styles' wife and daughter were present at ringside as well, and after Joe took things too far, Styles lost his cool and attacked Joe with a chair.
Joe won the bout via disqualification and their rivalry is set to continue. The two will face off next at the Hell in a Cell PPV.
However, initial plans for Joe were quite different as reports emerged last week that the Samoan was set to walk out of SummerSlam with the Championship! WWE seems to have changed plans at the last minute, perhaps to continue with the feud till HIAC. It remains to be seen who will walk away the next time they meet in the ring.
