Jim Ross:
Folks, during the commerical break, tempers flared between X-Pac, Rob Van Dam
and Ken Shamrock.  So much so, that their match tonight has been called off,
and will now take place on Smackdown.  We apologise for this, and hope that..

(As JR speaks, Paul Heyman emerges on the ring ramp, carrying a mic.)

Paul Heyman:
That's all you ever do, JR, apologise.  Except you don't apologise when an 
apology is really needed.  I am out to here to speak on behalf of the newest,
and soon to be greatest superstar in WWE, AJ Styles.  Last Thursday night, my
client debuted in the main event of Smackdown, a position that he will soon
become accustomed to.  However, what happens after that?  It's simple, my
client is nowhere to be seen on the card for the next match.  Why?  Because
the WWE are scared of showing off a talented superstar, an honoured champion,
who would make their boys look pathetic.

But it will all change from now on, because I will ensure that AJ Styles gets
only the best treatment around here, and I will ensure that AJ Styles, within
the next six months, will not only become the Intercontinental Champion, he
will also become the WWE Champion.  I guarantee it.

(The music of Rey Mysterio kicks in, and he makes his way out onto the stage.)

Rey Mysterio:
You know something Paul Heyman.  Maybe there's a reason why AJ Styles is not
on the card tonight.  Maybe it's the same reason that I'm not on the card here
tonight.  It's because we've yet to pay our dues around here, and because we
have not yet earned the right to be on every show.  Did you not even stop to
think about that?

Paul Heyman, AJ Styles time may come, but not because you say so, it'll come
when he earns it.  But if you're looking to get him some in-ring action, and
you're looking to get him a fight, look no further than me, Paul Heyman.  I
challenge your man AJ Styles, to a match at No Way Out.  Then maybe he can
earn a little bit of respect from both me, and the higher up guys in this
company.  But until then, you can close your mouth, and let AJ's wrestling do
the talking.

Paul Heyman:
If you want the match Mysterio, then you've got it.  But let ask you a question
Rey.  You like to fly, right?  You're a high-flying guy?

Rey Mysterio:
Yeah, I like to take a risk now and again.  It's my style, man.

Paul Heyman:
Well, that's good, because I hope you enjoy your flight before No Way Out.  AJ!

(AJ Styles emerges from behind Rey Mysterio on the ramp, grabs Rey Rey, and 
throws him off the side of the ramp, down through a table below.)

Paul Heyman:
Pleasent flight Rey?  I hope so, because that's the kind of thing the entire
WWE will have to put up, courtesy of your new favourite superstar, AJ Styles!
