AJ Styles gets his SummerSlam challenger

AJ Styles being the fighting champion he is signed the contract before finding out who his opponent is

SmackDown GM Paige was in the ring to announce AJ Styles' next challenger for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. She announced that Hall of Famers Trish Stratus and Lita are scheduled to appear at Evolution before inviting AJ Styles into the ring. AJ signed the match contract and called for his championship opponent when Ellsworth made his entrance.

Ellsworth says he'll be champion at SummerSlam and AJ asks Paige what's wrong with him. Paige calls Ellsworth a joke and Ellsworth makes fun of the way she looks, calling him as pale as a ghost. Paige fires Ellsworth and calls in security who carry him backstage.

Paige followed them and made sure Ellsworth left the arena while Samoa Joe attacked AJ Styles in the ring while the champ was distracted. Joe locked in the coquina clutch on AJ making him pass out and signed his name on the contract for the WWE Championship.

Backstage, Paige was not happy about Joe's actions and we found out that he was the challenger that Paige had picked. Carmella walks up to Paige and is angry that she fired Ellsworth. Paige tells her to go buy a new boyfriend and walks off.
