Since the General Manager role has been extinguished from WWE, we’ve been seeing a lot more from WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. This week on Smackdown will be no different.
Vince McMahon will moderate a “face-to-face” confrontation between reigning WWE Champion Daniel Bryan & Royal Rumble Challenger AJ Styles. Surprisingly, this hasn’t been advertised as a standard “contract signing.”
Here is the official preview from WWE.com:
Tensions between WWE Champion “The New” Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles have continued to escalate over the past several weeks, and now, with their WWE Title Match in sight, the two will meet face-to-face this Tuesday night with Mr. McMahon moderating.
With both Superstars having attacked each other in arena concourses over consecutive weeks, animosity is running at an all-time high in this incredibly personal rivalry. And now, with Mr. McMahon moderating, who only a few weeks ago urged The Phenomenal One to bring out “the real” AJ Styles, will matters boil over just five nights before they square off at Royal Rumble?
