LA Knight Promo 

No, no, no, cut that. Let me talk to you. The man they call the megastar is in the building tonight in Austin. And what that means is, you two cross eyed halfwits, you got hell to pay, YEAH! You’re not going to cost me my United States Championship and think that I’m not going to come for you. Yeah, I understand, last week, I didn’t end up on the top end of things, but you know what. I got my ass kicked. That was an ass kicking I was willing to take if I meant I got just a little piece of both of you. But tonight, I’m not just getting a piece, I’m going to get a big chunk, because Tama Tonga, you went ahead and drew the short straw. So, what that means, you’re going to get a BFT for your troubles. And if you want to stick your big fat head in here, I’ll tell you what, I’ll kick you so hard, you won’t be able to stop the shakes. And there might not be enough left for Saturday Night’s Main Event for Braun. Sorry Braun, it’s got to be done.

AJ Styles, Carmelo Hayes, LA Knight Segment 

AJ Styles: I have missed you guys, so much. And it’s only fitting that I’m here in Nashville, Tennessee, tonight. This is where it all started for AJ Styles. And over the past couple of months, I’ve done a lot of things that I regret, things I may not be forgiven for. But I’m not here to talk about my past, I’m talking about tonight, and rebuilding the legacy of AJ Styles. So, I know there’s a lot of guys that don’t like me, and I don’t blame them. There’s a lot of guys that need to be reminded that, this is still the house that AJ Styles built.

Carmelo Hayes: AJ, after everything that you’ve done, I’m not surprised there’s not a long line of guys there to welcome you back. But that’s okay, because you know what? I’ve taken it upon myself to be that guy to do that. Because AJ, you know, I don’t need to reintroduce myself to you. You know who I am. I’m him, Carmelo Hayes, the one that beat Andrade three times, and the one that’s been holding it down here on SmackDown while you’ve been gone. But believe it or not, I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I’m actually a huge fan of you. I love old timers like you. And I’m sure you’re out here to announce some legends contract that you just signed, and believe me, you deserve it, but if we’re going to talk about things that deserved, allow me to talk about myself for a minute. A guy like me, who deserves to be the US Champion, not LA Knight, and not Andrade. A guy like me.

AJ Styles: Well, if it’s okay with you, I would like to maybe give you some friendly advice. I’ve been in the ring with LA Knight before, and the guy is relentless. YEAH! He came to my house. We had a match at WrestleMania.

Carmelo Hayes: AJ, I don’t need your advice, because I don’t take advice from quitters.

AJ Styles: Nope, I earned that one. You really think you’re that good. Okay. If you were that good, if you were HIM, you would be United States Champion, right now, wouldn’t you?

Carmelo Hayes: Well, AJ, if you’re so phenomenal, then you would be WWE Champion, right now, wouldn’t you? See what you started.

AJ Styles: I’ll tell you what we’ll do. You’re in your wrestling gear, I’m in my wrestling gear, there’s ropes, a ring, it’s Nashville, Tennessee, why don’t you and I fight, right here, right now, in this very ring?

Carmelo Hayes: Nah, I’m good.

LA Knight: Let me talk to you. My god, ain’t this a familiar sight. Somebody wants to fight Carmelo, what does he do, he’s just going to run away, ain’t he? AJ, I’m not going to come out here and pretend that you and I are friends. Like you said, I’ve been to your house, we’ve been through it all. Let me be honest, the last time I saw you, you were busy misleading me and everybody in the entire world, telling everybody, basically, you were going to retire, and then you made a liar out of yourself. So, I don’t have a lot to say to you. But what I will say is this. I look at Carmelo, he comes out here, and he says, I deserve this, I’m HIM. I’ll tell you what. You are HIM. You’re the guy that is going to get stomped out, right here, tonight.

The only question is, there’s two options in this. The first option is, I can basically come down there, punch you in the mouth about four or five times, walk out of here, go down Broadway, have a couple of drinks, and have myself a goodnight. Or the other choice in this whole thing is, AJ, it seems like you made a little challenge here to Carmelo. He seems like he’s not ready to take it. So, I’ll tell you what, I’m gonna go ahead and make sure that you want to take it, Melo. Here’s what you got, if you can beat AJ Styles, right now, I’ll make a really convincing case to Nick Aldis that you can get the shot that you so hardly think you deserve at the US Championship. But I’m gonna tell you what. Regardless, the chances are, you’re going to get stomped out, tonight. I’m still going out to Broadway. And when it’s all said and done, after AJ Styles stomps you, I’ll tell you what, you’re still going to hear everybody saying, LA Knight. YEAH! Now, get me a referee out here, and let’s get this done.
