In an interview with WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler, AJ Styles explains why he slapped Shinsuke Nakamura last week, before turning his attention to this Sunday's WWE Championship Match.

After losing his cool last week during his contract signing with Shinsuke Nakamura for their WWE Championship Last Man Standing Match this Sunday, AJ Styles had an exclusive interview with Memphis legend and WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler on SmackDown LIVE.

The Phenomenal One copped to the fact that The King of Strong Style got under his skin last week and then apologized… for not "knocking his head off with my fist." Styles cited Shinsuke’s rule-breaking and childish behavior as reasons for his outburst before promising that WWE’s Rockstar will continue to receive that type of discipline if he continues acting that way. Styles then promised the WWE Universe that he would walk out of WWE Money in the Bank the way he walked in, as WWE Champion, and as the last man standing.
