SmackDown Live continues to be filled with twists and turns. After AJ Styles defended his WWE Championship early against Daniel Bryan, Samoa Joe returned from injury and choked out the face of SmackDown. Styles was understandably upset about his old rival doing him dirty, and he requested that he faces him at WWE Crown Jewel.
SmackDown Live General Manager Paige didn’t want to reward Samoa Joe for his actions, but Styles was able to persuade her. As such, Samoa Joe vs AJ Styles will happen this Friday at WWE Crown Jewel for the WWE Championship.
