He said that most didn’t see it, but Ciampa grabbed his neck after the match got over and told him that this is his time before exiting to pay respect to Bron’s father, the legendary Rick Steiner. Furthermore, Breakker said he knows he has big shoes to fill, but he is here to do it for the fans. He then calls out anyone in the locker room who wants to challenge him for the title as he is set to work every week and put his title on the line against anyone any week. He then dropped the mic and exited the ring.

After the win, AJ stood tall with the fans cheering for him. He then grabbed the mic and said that Waller is good, but he isn’t phenomenal. He then told Waller that this isn’t over yet as he wanted to introduce him to one of his friends. That friend was none other than LA Knight. Knight beat the hell out of Waller and chased him down around the ring before tossing him on the announce table.

Knight then brought him back in the ring and leveled him with a clothesline, and finally sends him over the top rope to the floor to clear the ring. The segment ended with Knight and Styles hitting opposite corners to pose for the crowd.
