Miz introduces AJ Styles and immediately shows the clip of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson attacking Roman Reigns on RAW. Miz knows that Styles, Gallows and Anderson are all good friends from their time spent in Japan and demands that Styles admit that they were helping him. Styles says that they are not helping him, in fact he was mad that they attacked Reigns. Miz continued to push the subject, called Styles a liar and knows Styles is lying because Styles needs all the help he can get to beat Reigns. Miz and Maryse gloat and begin to make out. Styles finally seen and heard enough and begins to unload punches and forearms on Miz, chasing Miz and Maryse from the ring to end the segment.
