Shane McMahon walks in the back as we go to commercial.
We are back and Shane McMahon comes out and he does the Shane-O Shuffle on the stage as he makes his way to the ring where he does the Shane-O Shuffle again. Shane mentions the US title match last week and how he was added to the match at SummerSlam as the guest referee. Shane brings out Kevin Owens first and then he brings out AJ Styles. Kevin and AJ argue over who the crowd is cheering for more of the two. Shane says he wanted them to come out so they could clear the air. Kevin had some apprehension about Shane being the referee. Shane says Kevin said that he did not think Shane could be impartial.
Kevin says what he said last week was in the heat of the moment. Kevin says he wants to apologize for what happened last week. Kevin says he has been thinking. He is not worried about Shane screwing him over. We have already had a McMahon screw over a legendary Canadian for a title before. Kevin says HE deserved it. Kevin says he doesn’t deserve it. It would be really terrible PR if Shane did the same to another legendary Canadian. Kevin says he is worried about AJ.
Kevin asks how can Shane be unbiased for what AJ did to him a few months ago. We take a look at AJ attacking Shane before Wrestlemania on an episode of Smackdown. AJ says that will be the first to admit when Daniel made Shane the guest referee at SummerSlam. He says officiating hasn’t been great. AJ says we all see what is happening. He says that Kevin is trying to stir the pot like a master manipulator. AJ says it isn’t working. AJ says if Shane screws him, he will have to face the repercussions like he did at Wrestlemania. AJ tells Shane he does not trust anyone, let alone a McMahon.
Shane says AJ is confusing him with other McMahons. Kevin says he is not sure if Shane is right. Shane has been a guest referee at SummerSlam before. Kevin says he has been doing his research and he says this could happen. We see footage from the 1998 Survivor Series when Shane screwed over Steve Austin. Kevin says it is amazing you can find on the WWE Network. Kevin says you can see hours of footage of Shane screwing people over as a referee. You could have a collection of footage of that. Shane says that there is no secret that he does not get along with Kevin. He says he has been through a war with AJ. He will call it right down the middle unless he has to get involved. Shane tells them not to give him a reason to get involved.
AJ says make it easy for everyone. Kevin wasn’t pinned last week, so let’s get rid of Shane and not wait until SummerSlam and do this right here, right now for the United States Championship. Kevin says that sounds great, but he would rather win the United States Title in the United States in a city that really matters. AJ says what matters is that this is as close as you are going to get to the United States Title. Kevin and AJ push each other. Kevin punches AJ while Shane is in the middle. AJ with a Pele Kick to Shane and Kevin leaves the ring and bows for AJ and Shane.
We go to commercial.
We are back and Lana is in the locker room and Tamina enters and says that Tamina is here to gloat.
Tamina asks Lana how did the match go. Lana says she lost and failed. Tamina asks Lana if she was more ravishing. She says Lana will never wrestle like Tamina.Lana says Tamina will not be as ravishing as her. Tamina says it was not her wrestling that got her three title matches, it was her ambition. Now Lana is going to help her.
