5 Surprises that could happen on the SmackDown Live after Extreme Rules

#4 Samoa Joe attacks AJ Styles

Could Samoa Joe kickstart a brand new feud on SmackDown Live?

AJ Styles has been a fighting champion on SmackDown Live. He has reigned supreme for a long time now, and there have been very few real 'threats' that he has faced. Samoa Joe could definitely be the most difficult challenger in his way. This is because Samoa Joe does not really play by the rules.

Joe attacked Tye Dillinger last week before their match and SmackDown Live had to call it off! Speaking of backstage attacks, one Dean Ambrose also felt the brunt of Samoa Joe's nefarious tactics when he was attacked backstage. I would not be surprised at all if WWE decides to book AJ Styles' next feud in pretty much the same way!

Joe vs. Styles would be a pretty interesting match for SummerSlam. It would probably not main event the show, but then again, Styles is used to that.
