WWE United States Champion AJ Styles makes his way to ring to a great reception. Last week, Styles was arguing with his SummerSlam opponent, Kevin Owens, and accidentally kicked the Special Guest Referee for the match, Shane McMahon, in the head. Styles stands in the ring and sighs. A loud “AJ Styles” chant picks up. Styles asks them to hold on. After seeing that video, they have to get Shane McMahon out here.

Shane McMahon, the commissioner of Smackdown Live, makes his way to the ring. The crowd chants, “Shane O’Mac.” McMahon thanks Providence for the love. McMahon says if Styles invited him out here to apologize, there’s no reason for it. He’s a Special Guest Referee for one reason only: it’s to have someone to get in between Styles and Kevin Owens, take a hit, and keep going. There’s no apology necessary. Another loud “Shane O’Mac” chant picks up.

Styles says that kick was accidental, but what he wants to know, man-to-man, after what happened last week, he’s not going to use this as a new excuse to screw him over at SummerSlam? McMahon says that was inadvertent, and he was in harm’s way. This Sunday, he’ll be in the black and white. You have to respect the authority of most officials. You cannot touch a WWE official, but he’s a little different. If Styles pushes or shoves him, that’s a whole different story. They’ll chalk up last week to an accident, but if he puts his hands on him again, he’ll put his all over Styles. Styles asks if that was a threat, but McMahon shakes his head in the negative. McMahon says what will happen this Sunday…

Kevin Owens’ music hits after a long pause. Owens knows Styles said last week was an accident, but he’s not so sure Styles didn’t mean to hit Shane last week. Owens says all that’s happening in the ring is their referee is telling him the rules of the match. The rules sound great because Styles can’t get disqualified by hitting the referee just to hold onto the title. Owens wants to make something clear: unlike Styles who seems like he’s got something planned at SummerSlam, if he were to collide, hit, or cause any physical harm, it would be a complete accident and involuntary. Owens says he’ll shake his hand because he’s a man of his word. Owens kisses up to McMahon saying he’s a man that will call it down the middle so he can get his United States Championship back.

McMahon says it would not be appropriate for him to shake hands with Owens. If Owens wants to shake someone’s hand, he should shake Styles’ hand. Owens extends his hand toward Styles. Styles stares back and approaches him. Styles points at him and jaw-jacks. Owens shoves him, and Styles shoves him back. Styles goes to punch him, but Owens ducks. McMahon blocks the punch before it connects with him. Styles and McMahon argue. Owens goes to superkick Styles, but Styles moves and the kick catches McMahon. Owens looks stunned and shouts that it was an accident. Owens then leaves the ring while McMahon comes to.
