Samoa Joe Delivers A Message To AJ Styles

Samoa Joe sent a message to AJ Styles on tonight’s episode of Smackdown that was very personal and hit close to home. Joe initially praised Styles for making the WWE Championship what it is, but then said Styles talks about his family life, but he’s barely home.

Joe said Styles is a champion that failed as a father and husband, and he’s about to take everything from him. Joe said Styles’ own family is going to cheer for him at Summerslam, and he’s going to give AJ a chance to finally be a father at home while he becomes WWE Champion.

Randy Orton Attacks Jeff Hardy Again

Jeff Hardy came to the ring to address Randy Orton’s recent attacks, but he ended up getting laid out again. Hardy was joined in the ring by Orton, but Shinsuke Nakamura ended up running in and attacking Hardy from behind.

Orton seemed to take issue with Nakamura’s interference and backed him into the corner, but ended up allowing Nakamura to get a few shots in. Orton then took his own frustrations out on Hardy, including a hangman’s DDT from the apron and symbolically taking Hardy’s necklace and wiping his facepaint off.
