Mr. McMahon came out and introduced AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan, who made their way to the ring. AJ got inside the ring and Bryan refused to get into the ring with a sociopath, referring to Styles. After a monologue about how he is using the title for the greater good while AJ used it to get fame, Bryan claimed he was the entire planet's champion.
AJ then called Bryan fickle and said he was scared to get in the ring with him. After some more banter, Vince got tired and ordered Bryan to get in the ring. Daniel Bryan called McMahon and all the baby-boomers parasites and continued his monologue. Vince growled that he wasn't gonna ask again and repeated himself. Styles was sick of it too as he went out the ring to face him and they broke into a brawl.
Bryan was sent into the ring by AJ who went for the Phenomenal forearm but Bryan pushed Vince in the way. AJ stopped himself but took a running knee before Daniel Bryan fled the scene.
