#4 Samoa Joe crashes the WWE Championship contract signing

General Manager Paige was in the ring; which was carpeted and had a table prepared for the WWE Championship contract signing. Styles came out to sign the contract even though he didn't know who his opponent was.

James Ellsworth would crash the party claiming he should get a shot since he beat AJ three times, but he said the wrong thing to Paige and got fired.

During the ordeal of kicking Ellsworth out of the building, Samoa Joe locked in the Coquina Clutch from behind onto AJ, put him to sleep, and signed the contract.

Thought it was a great segment all-around to set up what I consider the true main event of SummerSlam.
