In Ring Segment: AJ Styles and Renee Young
Young asks Styles if he thinks Daniel Bryan making a handicap match for the WWE title at the Royal Rumble. Styles says he is human and he makes mistakes. If Styles knew that Bryan would take him seriously last week he would not have said what he did. Is there a chance Styles could lose the title? Sure. Is there a chance Styles could beat the hell out of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn? Yes. Young tells Styles he didn’t answer her question. Styles says yes, it’s not fair. Young asks Styles if he thinks Bryan is playing favorites with Zayn and Owens. Styles says he doesn’t know what Bryan’s deal is. He doesn’t know what Bryan is thinking. Young asked if Styles thinks Shane McMahon is playing favorites. Styles responds that he isn’t getting in the middle of their issues.
Owens and Zayn come out on the ramp. Owens says Styles put his foot in his mouth last week and will do anything to take it back. Zayn says yep. Owens adds that Styles could never beat the two of them in the same match. There is no way Styles will leave the Royal Rumble with the WWE title. Owens and Zayn are going to be the first ever co-WWE Champions. Owens and Zayn are going to do whatever they want to do. Shane McMahon comes out and says he agrees with Styles here. It’s not fair that Styles has to defend the title against both Owens and Zayn. Shane says he doesn’t understand why Bryan will give Owens and Zayn a chance to win the title. Shane goes on to say that he backs whatever choices Bryan makes for the time being. Shane says since they are having handicap matches, Owens and Zayn will face Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Randy Orton tonight! As Shane walks to the back Bryan is waiting for him. Bryan says Shane booked a hell of a main event tonight. Shane and Bryan shake hands.
#WZChat-
Well, there you go. KO just said if they win, they'd be co-champs. Let's see if that part sticks #WZChat #SDLive
