As we first reported last week, the current plan is for AJ Styles to defend his WWE Championship against Samoa Joe at this year’s SummerSlam event.
WWE is now running the below advertisement in online marketing campaigns for this year’s show. The ad clearly confirms our report that Styles will be facing Joe at SummerSlam.
The match is expected to be announced on SmackDown Live next week, as Paige teased that should be revealing the plans for the WWE Championship on the show.
