Last week on SmackDown Live, it was announced that General Manager Paige would be revealing the challenger to AJ Styles’ WWE Championship at SummerSlam on August 19th this week. With a handful of possible challengers, the WWE Universe wondered who the GM would select to put ‘The Phenomenal One’ AJ Styles’ reign in jeopardy.

Paige took to the squared circle tonight on SmackDown Live with table set up, the contract ready to be signed before welcoming out the champion. AJ would speak about his history at SummerSlam, including stealing the show previously with John Cena and ending his rivalry with Kevin Owens last year before signing the contract, then asking Paige who is opponent would be. The GM would call for a drum roll, but James Ellsworth would come out to interrupt.

Ellsworth would claim the WWE Title is the real reason he returned to WWE, reminding us he’s defeated Styles three times before and the fourth time is the charm. James proclaimed he would be the new champion at SummerSlam, but Paige would cut him off, calling him a joke and wondering why he’s come out. Ellsworth proceeded to make fun of the GM and how she looks, but Paige had two words for him, “You’re fired!”.

Ellsworth would be dragged off by security and led out of the arena along with Paige, leaving Styles alone in the ring. Samoa Joe would ambush AJ from behind, locking on the Coquina Clutch and putting him to sleep, then signing the contract for SummerSlam.
