WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: SHANE AND AJ HAVE A SCUFFLE, TAG TITLE MATCH, TOTAL BELLAS SECRET FOOTAGE, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2017-03-21 21:56:00

Last week, AJ Styles confronted Shane McMahon and he was subsequently fired by Daniel Bryan.  Despite being fired, AJ has a match at Wrestlemania against Shane McMahon.

Daniel Bryan is talking over the logistics of the show and AJ Styles enters looking for Shane McMahon.

Daniel tells AJ that AJ would still be fired if it was up to him.  He says that Shane is not like the other McMahons who would have ruined his life.  Shane wants to handle this like a man and Daniel says AJ has no idea what Shane has in store for him.

AJ asks if Shane is not here. 

Daniel says Shane is on his way.

AJ says it is like deja vu so he is going to go out again and talk about how great it is to beat up Shane McMahon.

We are in Uncasville, Connecticut and your announcers are David Otunga, Tom Phillips, and John Layfield.

AJ Styles makes his way to the ring.

AJ says it has been seven days for him to think about what he did last week. AJ says he is . . . not sorry for anything he did last week.  He says you have no idea how good it felt to put his fist in Shane's face.  It made his heart swell.  Everything that Shane McMahon has put him through, he is glad that he put Shane through something . . .  a car window.  Then Shane has the audacity to come out after he is 'fired' to be put into a match.

AJ says Shane is crazier than anyone ever thought you were.  AJ accepts Shane's challenge.  Why would a superior athlete and a former WWE Champion want to be in the ring with Shane McMahon.  He wants to be part of the Ultimate Thrill Ride . . . Wrestlemania.  Why would Shane want to be in the ring with AJ Styles?  AJ says it is because without AJ Styles, Smackdown plummets.  Without AJ Styles, Smackdown's social media crashes like Shane McMahon into a car window.  AJ says he is untouchable.  He can put Shane through a car window and he can get into a match at Wrestlemania. 

AJ says he is going to meet Shane in the parking garage.  Things can go from bad to phenomenally worse.

We go to commercial.

Baron Corbin enters and he wants to know if Dean Ambrose is here to accept his challenge.

Daniel says he hasn't heard from Dean.

Baron says he gets the night off and he will go to the blackjack tables.
