Big Time Title Match Announced For Super Show-Down

Take it down under people. One of the best feuds in WWE at the moment is Smackdown World Champion AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe. Over the last few weeks, Joe has been tormenting Styles about not being a good family man, even calling Styles’ wife and saying he’ll take care of things. We’ve already seen the first match in the series and now we know the third.

Make sure to check out our full SmackDown Live results to see how Joe got under Styles’ skin this week.

As announced on WWE.com, Styles will be defending his WWE Championship against Joe at the Super Show-Down event in Melbourne, Australia on October 6. At the moment, the match is announced as Styles defending the title, though he is also scheduled to defend the title against Joe at the upcoming Hell In A Cell event on September 16. There is always the chance that the Australia card could change in advance.

This is how you keep things going.

Samoa Joe is going to pay a visit to the Styles home: SmackDown LIVE, Aug. 28, 2018

Opinion: The term “card subject to change” would seem to apply here, but this would indeed suggest that Styles makes it out of Hell In A Cell with the title. If that’s the case, it would put him in some very rare air as champion, as Styles would have held the WWE Championship for over 330 days. That would give him the eleventh longest reign in the title’s history and only about a month away from a full year as champion. Therefore, CM Punk’s 434 day reign isn’t out of the question either.

Do you think Styles will hold the title coming into the show? Will he leave with it? Let us know in the comments below.
