AJ says he has a second chance. Most don't survive to a second chance, but he will . . .
AJ sees Paul Heyman with Greg Hamilton and AJ tells Greg to give Paul the mic.
Paul introduces himself and mentions his client Brock Lesnar. Paul says he came here tonight because on the premier show in WWE, Raw, he told AJ and the entire WWE Universe there is no one that his client wants to fight on Sunday more than AJ Styles.

Before that match, he said that he respected AJ and he meant that. Daniel says he has been looking for a reason to punch AJ in the face and he meant that too. You mention his name again without reason and he is going to punch AJ in the face again.
