Turning his words into action, AJ Styles unloaded on SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon with a brutal sneak attack that culminated with him smashing his boss through a car window. In the aftermath, Shane-O-Mac refused to be taken to the hospital, instead struggling to his feet and being taken to the trainer’s room by SmackDown LIVE personnel.

While this was happening, Styles and SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan, flanked by security, had an incredibly tense conversation backstage that resulted in Bryan firing The Phenomenal One from the Blue Brand and having him escorted out by the guards.
