Samoa Joe inserts himself into WWE title picture

In the ring with Renee Young, Styles refused to apologize to Nakamura and instead let everyone know that he was going to be victorious once again on Sunday, especially with the new no disqualification rules that were placed on the bout at the beginning of the show by general manager Paige. The champ was then interrupted ... but not by his challenger this Sunday. 

Samoa Joe made his way out to the entrance ramp to send a stern warning to both Styles and Nakamura. When he gets finished with Roman Reigns at Backlash, he is coming for the WWE championship, no matter who's the one holding it after Sunday. Nakamura's music hit and Joe turned to defend himself, however, he wasn't the one being attacked. Nakamura sneakily made his way through the crowd, entered the ring behind Styles and, you guessed it, hit the WWE champion right where it hurts the most. After reveling in Styles' pain for a bit, he took him out with the Kinshasa five days before they meet once again for the most prestigious title in the company. 

It really is that hard for Styles to realize he needs some protection down there, huh? Nonetheless, beginning to insert Samoa Joe into the WWE championship picture is the correct move here. Lately, both in the ring and on the microphone, there have been few better in the company than Joe and it's obvious on a weekly basis. Regardless of what takes place in both matches on Sunday, it shouldn't be all that long before the Samoan Submission Machine is carrying around the top title in the company.
