AJ shows us a replay of the recent promo that had Joe sending AJ a “personal message” with comments on his family. AJ talks about Joe speaking on his family and says he felt that as a man, a father and a husband, he had to defend himself. He got emotional and Joe took him to a place he never wanted to go, a dark place where he wanted to rip Joe’s head off. AJ says then he got home where he could hold his wife and kids. His wife Wendy told him that he can’t lose his cool like he did, the family loves him and respects what he does but he has to stay focused. AJ goes on but the music interrupts and out comes Joe in a suit.

Joe speaks from the stage and says AJ just told the fans a lovely tale but they both know he wasn’t telling the truth. Joe tells AJ to relax because he wants to help AJ keep his promise to his wife. Joe has a letter from a fan that he thought AJ needs to hear. The letter was written to Joe and says Joe’s comments made him physically ill but because they were true. The fan used to be the biggest AJ fan in the world but it was now clear that AJ never wanted kids or a wife. The fan believes AJ will do anything to become champion to stay away from his family. The fan prays Joe wins at SummerSlam so AJ can feel what it’s like to lose what he loves the most, because the fan lost AJ a long time ago. Joe reads the end of the letter and it’s supposedly signed by Wendy Styles, AJ’s wife. Joe’s music hits as he and AJ stare each other down, AJ in the ring and Joe still on the stage. The final SmackDown before SummerSlam goes off the air.
