Shane McMahon, Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles In-Ring Segment: 

What’s up Kansas City? Normally, Shane would be ecstatic about tonight’s main event between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, but he’s not in that mood tonight. The winner of the match will face AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at WWE Fastlane. The Kevin and Sami Show deserves another opportunity but there’s someone he respects who does. SmackDown Live General Manager, Daniel Bryan. We all know that SmackDown Live is The Land of Opportunity. Shane & Bryan listens to the WWE Universe. When you feel that a superstar deserves an opportunity, it’s up to them to give that person an opportunity. Unfortunately, Bryan is not listening.

Bryan keeps giving the same two people opportunity after opportunity. Some might want to see someone else who’s deserving go after the WWE Title. Shane puts over the Rusev Day Chants. Bryan decided to make a positive out of a negative. He pitted Shane’s least favorite people against each other. Bryan  was expecting a pay raise. Shane would love to see Owens and Zayn ripping each other’s heads off. Why is Daniel Bryan continuing to give The Kevin and Sami Show more WWE Title opportunities?

Shane understands what Bryan has done for the WWE. He changed the WWE landscape forever with The YES! Movement. Although Bryan had a similar career path as Owens and Zayn, they are not you. The YEP! Movement is a cheap imitation of what Bryan created. Shane is tired of seeing of Bryan being manipulated More than anything in this world, Bryan would love to compete in this ring again. Where is Shane going with this? Bryan is living vicariously through Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

AJ Styles joins the conversation. Styles has traveled more than 10000 miles to defend this title. He can deal with the bumps and bruises. He can deal with the canceled flights.  He can deal with being away from his family because, but he cannot deal with SmackDown Management obsessing over Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.  Styles is not just talking about Bryan, he’s also talking about Shane. Every time they make a decision about them, it affects him. Styles doesn’t care who he faces at FastLane. Styles can handle his own destiny.  He’ll walk into WrestleMania, still, WWE Champion.
