43-year-old star reacts to AJ Styles’ horrific assault on LA Knight

A 43-year-old star just reacted to AJ Styles assaulting LA Knight on SmackDown.

Shawn Spears recently shocked the world when he returned to NXT a couple of weeks ago. Since then, he has targeted Ridge Holland, and the two men have been feuding.

Spears became famous for assaulting his rivals with a steel chair during his time in the Indies, which earned him the nickname "The Chairman." During his debut in AEW, he hit Cody Rhodes with a chair shot that busted him open. Tonight on SmackDown, AJ Styles used a similar approach.

LA Knight called out his recent rival tonight on the blue brand. While Styles didn't immediately appear, he assaulted Knight from behind with a steel chair. He then placed the chair over Knight and took a seat. This segment drew a reaction from The Chairman himself.

"I like your….style @AJStylesOrg #JustSwingIt @WWE #SmackDown," he wrote.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
