Daniel Bryan asks the Richmond, Virginia crowd if they’re ready for WrestleMania? Big YES! Chants. Let’s get things started on the right foot. Bryan introduces the Commissioner of SmackDown Live, Shane McMahon and AJ Styles. Shane applauds Styles as he walks into the ring. Eight months ago when SmackDown Live became SmackDown Live, they felt that this show was going to be the place for opportunity. Management wouldn’t push their own agendas. A place where everyone can tune in and families can be entertained. Styles was always part of that vision. He’s one of the greatest talents to ever step foot through these ropes and Styles is truly is phenomenal. Shane and Styles finally agree on something. Styles was all over the world before he came to WWE. People were chanting his name. Shane says that Styles used the crowd to catapult himself to the WWE Championship.
Unfortunately, AJ Styles ego got too big and he became arrogant. That arrogance cost Styles his title to John Cena. It also cost him against Randy Orton. Styles ego got in the way of him not being a part of WrestleMania. Shane has always made his opponents reach deep down and give their best. Last week, he saw Styles face and he knew that he had to give everything he’s got. If Styles doesn’t bring his A game, how phenomenal will he feel when Shane’s hand is raised at WrestleMania? Shane proceeds to sign the contract. Styles asks Shane if he knows what kind of match he’s in for? It’s not a Hell in a Cell match. It’s not a Falls Count Anywhere Match. If you are outside the ring for more than ten seconds, you will be counted out. There will be no tables or chairs or ladders. It will be a traditional match.
When Shane McMahon steps into this ring, he’ll step into the world of AJ Styles. In this ring, he’s untouchable. If you want to come in here and wrestle, they will wrestle. If he wants to lay hands, they can lay hands. If Shane wants to take it to the air, he’ll embarrass Shane on every level. Shane has been in the ring with Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, The Rock and The Undertaker, but he’s never been in the ring with AJ Styles. Shane will find out at WrestleMania how phenomenal Styles really is. Styles signs the contract. Both men start talking smack to each other. Styles flips over the table. Bryan tries to separate both men. Bryan wants this to end in a handshake. Shane extends his hand out, but Styles walks out of the ring.
