VIDEO: See Shane McMahon Land His Signature Elbow Drop On AJ Styles During The Closing Moments Of SMACKDOWN
As Smackdown Live went off the air tonight, AJ Styles was in pretty bad shape after a devastating top-rope elbow drop from Shane McMahon. Check out some official footage courtesy of WWE after the jump...
It's been rumored for quite some time that AJ Styles would be facing Shane McMahon at WrestleMania this year, and this was confirmed last week when The Phenomenal One brutally beat-down his boss, smashing his head through a car window.
During tonight's Smackdown Live their match was made official - but Shane-O-Mac wasn't about to wait until Mania to get some retribution.
AJ came out to the ring to taunt Shane, which proved to be a big mistake, as the deceptively formidable McMahon incapacitated Styles before laying him on the announce table and climbing the top rope to deliver one of his signature elbow drops.
Check out the footage below:
Though many fans were a bit disappointed that AJ wouldn't be involved in the title picture at Mania, this feud is building nicely, and these two will no doubt bring the house down in Orlando on April 2.
