SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon addressed the WWE Universe ahead of next week's Superstar Shake-Up, making it clear that Team Blue was the land of opportunity and that they would welcome any talent to the blue brand.

MIDDLE CARD PROMO

Before Shane could elaborate, AJ Styles made his way to the ring to make one thing very clear to the Commissioner: He wanted to be on SmackDown Live after the Superstar Shake-Up and would be more than ready to prove that the land of opportunity was his domain.

Then, surprisingly, Styles said he had something for Shane... a handshake. Despite all the tension leading up to The Ultimate Thrill Ride, the two shook hands, proving that sometimes you just need to scrap it out like madmen on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
