SmackDown GM Daniel Bryan kicks off tonight’s show
Daniel Bryan says that he’s lucky to be back after getting choke-slammed to hell by Kane on Raw. Bryan says he shouldn’t have went over to Raw alone. But Daniel Bryan is much like SmackDown, if you knock them down, they’ll come back and hit you twice as hard. Raw is looking pretty weak. It got ransacked by SmackDown a couple weeks back. The GM mentions there’s a good chance that the red brand will be looking to get some payback tonight. Bryan promises to provide a much better show than Raw, and starts off tonight’s show by introducing the new WWE Champion…
AJ Styles comes to a huge pop. Daniel Bryan says that Brock Lesnar has his own hype-man, so it’s only appropriate for Styles to have his own too. Bryan builds up Styles, while mocking Paul Heyman’s promo style. Bryan says that Brock is big and his head is thick, but he will fall to Styles at Survivor Series. Styles says that Heyman is wrong, this isn’t a Rocky movie, this is AJ Styles Production. At Survivor Series, he’ll beat Lesnar and prove that SmackDown is the A-show.
