AJ Styles went walking down and went right past the ring. Then he turned and started walking up the crowd while his music kept playing. Then Styles walked all the way up the crowd and up into the back of the arena in the skybox area.
They said we’ll know what he’s up to when we come back from commercial. I would hope so.

Styles was at the concession stand and everyone was cheering for him. He said he’s the concession stand just like Daniel Bryan was last week. He was rallying them up as they chanted “AJ.” He said people eat what they want because they spent their hard-earned money to be there.
Then he said he’s going to kick Daniel Bryan’s ass at the Royal Rumble before throwing free AJ Styles merch to the crowd. Thankfully, he didn’t throw the hot dogs.
Suddenly, Daniel Bryan ambushed him wearing a black hoodie and Styles put Bryan through the hot dog table. So how Bryan was covered in mustard and relish. Yum.

Backstage Segment
The Usos were doing a photo shoot and then someone said there was a gift for him. Jey read the note to Jimmy and it was a love note from Mandy. The box had a key to a hotel room. Jey asked
Zelina Vega and Andrade Cien Almas cut a promo about the match with Rey Mysterio. Andrade did some talking too and he said times have changed and now he’s the future. Zelina said in that future Almas beats Rey and wins the Royal Rumble and goes on to win at WrestleMania.
Samoa Joe vs Mustafa Ali
Joe didn’t wait for the bell and jumped Ali before he took his glowing mask off. He demolished him on the outside and then flung Mustafa against a ring post. Referees swarmed around Ali and then Joe picked him up to hit him with more damage.
He left Ali laying there. So this match didn’t happen.
Winner: Nobody because Mustafa Ali was murdered

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville were backstage. Deville asked Rose if she was sure that she wanted to give Jimmy her hotel room. Mandy said she wanted to break up their marriage. Then she left after saying, “If you’ll excuse me, I have a date.”
Rey Mysterio was shown walking backstage and Nikki Cross was on the other side of a fence shaking it and asking him if he wanted to play. He smiled but wisely kept walking.
