WWE has released the above video.

From John Cena to Roman Reigns, these five Superstars boldly hosted recurring open challenges to test the mettle of their fellow Superstars.

AJ Styles Defends Against Samoa Joe in WWE Tokyo Main Event Match

Today’s WWE Tokyo live event at Sumo Hall was scheduled to be AJ Styles defending the WWE Title against Shinsuke Nakamura, however, after Nakamura was pulled from in-ring competition due to a dog bite earlier this week, the main event featured Styles defending the Title against Samoa Joe instead. Below are photos from the match, which saw Styles successfully defend the Championship.

Prior to the match, Nakamura did make an appearance and cut a promo in front of the live crowd, while using a crutch, and was eventually choked out by Samoa Joe:
