AJ Styles & Daniel Bryan Face To Face Moderated By Vince McMahon
McMahon said he will reserve comment on what just happened to his son before moving on. Then McMahon introduced AJ Styles through a ton of “What” chants from the crowd.
Bryan got a lot of boos and AJ Styles was still very over. The crowd also sounded like they were singing along with Bryan’s song a little bit. I’m sure he loved that. He didn’t look like he enjoyed much of anything as he walked out with his WWE Championship.
Vince told Bryan to get in the ring and Daniel said he’s not falling for that trap and he’s not getting in the ring with a sociopath. He said he’s too embarassed to step foot in the ring with him right now.
Bryan took a dig at Styles turning his fans into walking billboards because of his merchandise and belittled hot dogs again. He said AJ uses his power to get fame and money and Bryan uses it for the greater good.
Styles asked Bryan is the greater good was Bryan coming out and talking like a jackass. Swearing got a pop and Bryan said AJ never makes his fans think.
Bryan said he’s not the people’s champion. He’s the Planet’s Champion and he’s using the platform to be the planet’s voice. AJ said if the planet had a voice it would tell Bryan to shut up.
Then AJ mentioned how Bryan took a jet to get there and there’s a word for that… fickle. People started chanting “fickle” at Bryan and he didn’t like that.
AJ said Daniel is afraid of him and once he takes his title he will have nothing. Then Vince McMahon interrupted Bryan and told him to get in the ring.
Bryan didn’t like that and then he said that Vince wouldn’t like this because
Then Bryan railed on instagram and social media while Vince is hoarding the wealth and power and they ignore it because they’re distracted. WWE is turning the truth into a heel promo.
Then Vince got mad and ordered Bryan into the ring again.
AJ said a face-to-face doesn’t have to be in the ring so he went outside and then he tossed Bryan around a bit before throwing him in the ring. Bryan hid behind Vince and AJ didn’t hit a Phenomonal Forearm. That is a strange move considering the fact that he punched Vince out on Christmas Day.
Then Bryan used McMahon as a diversion before delivering a running knee to take AJ out so Bryan could leave with his title.
R-Truth and Carmella had a little segment backstage where Truth was confused again. Then Mella saw Charlotte. She told Charlotte that the Royal Rumble isn’t a match, it’s a tornado. She also reminded Flair that she’s #30 and called herself “The Gatekeeper Of Gucci.”
Charlotte said she’s confident too and in the Royal Rumble it isn’t the tornado, she is.
