Samoa Joe gets another chance to become WWE Champion.
At WWE SummerSlam, Samoa Joe beat AJ Styles via disqualification in what was their first singles match on WWE programming. In the weeks prior, Samoa Joe had been taunting AJ Styles regarding his wife and child and at SummerSlam AJ Styles was disqualified for using a chair. In slightly over three weeks on September 16th, the two wrestlers will meet again at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view in another WWE Championship match.
The following is an excerpt from the press release at WWE.com.
After taking a disqualification loss in an out-of-control title bout at SummerSlam and being savagely assaulted by The Samoan Submission Machine two days later at SmackDown LIVE, WWE Champion AJ Styles will once again go to war against Samoa Joe at WWE Hell in a Cell on Sunday, Sept. 16.
Heading into The Biggest Event of the Summer, Samoa Joe came knocking on the door of The House that AJ Styles Built, and the force of relentless dominance sauntered into the title fight having already demonstrated that he had no issues using The Phenomenal One’s family to get inside his opponent’s head. When Joe took the microphone and insulted AJ’s wife mid-match as she sat near ringside during the slugfest, Styles finally snapped and unleashed a rage-fueled steel chair attack on the challenger that cost him the match by disqualification.The Samoan Submission Machine struck back on the following SmackDown LIVE while The Phenomenal One was being interviewed, putting the champion to sleep with a devastating Coquina Clutch before staring into the camera and once again delivering a chilling statement that AJ would not be home to read his kids a bedtime story.
With their animosity at a dangerous all-time high, Styles and Samoa Joe will once again collide at the WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event in a championship bout that promises to be a completely chaotic rematch from start to finish.
On Tuesday, a mixed tag team match was announced for Hell in a Cell between the team of Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan and the team of the Miz and Maryse.
Fightful Wrestling will have live coverage, discussion and a recapping podcast for the entire event.
