Samoa Joe's first promo about AJ Styles putting his career before his family worked pretty well, and last night on SmackDown LIVE they attempted to replicate it to varying degrees of success.
This time Joe read out a letter which was supposedly from AJ's wife Wendy, and even though the WWE Champ clearly knew it was fake, he still lost it backstage and attempted to kill his SummerSlam opponent.
Honestly, the whole "don't mention my family" stuff is played out and it's just become hokey at this point. WWE needs to start finding more creative ways to make these feuds personal, because "YOU HAVE A WIFE AND SHE HATES YOU!" just isn't cutting it anymore.
