Backstage, Naomi challenges Natalya and Carmella to a tag match at Fastlane. Natalya accepts. It will be Carmella and Natalya vs Naomi and Becky Lynch.
In Ring Segment: AJ Styles
Styles says that after winning the WWE title for the second time he has a different perspective on everything. Styles spent a lot of time trying to get to WWE and now he is here. The odds are stacked against Styles on Sunday. Styles isn’t going to sit here and complain. Styles is going to fight. This is the house the AJ Styles built. Last week John Cena pins Styles clean in the middle of the ring. Styles shows footage of Cena saying he is going to win the WWE championship for the 17th time on Sunday. Styles notes that Cena said that Styles should use his rematch clause at WrestleMania to make this a triple threat match. Styles says that isn’t what he wants. He wants to have his WrestleMania moment. Styles wants to defend the championship against the best. Styles wants to defend the WWE title against Shinsuke Nakamura. At Fastlane he isn’t just fighting for himself he is fighting for us. It’s going to be nothing short of phenomenal.
Dolph Ziggler comes out and makes fun of what Styles just said. Ziggler says Styles isn’t phenomenal anymore. Now Styles is just desperate. Styles says this coming from a man who has been in WWE for 13 years and still has reached his potential? Ziggler says that it took Styles 10 years to even get to the HOUSE that Ziggler built. Ziggler says Styles is going to lose Sunday. Styles’ head isn’t in the game. Why? Because Styles is doing it for these people. These people will turn their backs on Styles just like they did Ziggler. Ziggler says years ago he was told he would never be WWE Champion. Ziggler scratched and crawled to win Money in the Bank and then the championship. Ziggler went on to win the championship and they enjoyed the moment together. The people stood by and did nothing while Ziggler proved he was the best thing to ever happen to this company whether they (WWE) likes it or not. Ziggler tells Styles he can take his dreams and shove it. Styles says Ziggler is talking a lot. Why don’t they just do this right now?
