Was AJ Styles working or shooting during a commercial break tonight on WWE RAW?

Tonight on WWE RAW, AJ Styles had a one-on-one match with El Grande Americano. On the Netflix international feed during a commercial break, The Phenomenal One cut a very interesting promo stating that someone in the company doesn’t want him there.

“For the first time in my career, I’ve got no one watching my back,” AJ Styles said. “[Throws up the too-sweet Bullet Club hand gesture] Gallows, Anderson, they’re not here. Michin, she’s on SmackDown. It’s like someone orchestrated a way for me not to win anymore, not to have help. I’ll let you make your own conclusions.

“By the way, we are here right now and all over the world, but the rest, everybody is in a commercial break. I’m telling you something that you’re probably not supposed to hear. But somebody doesn’t want me here. So what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna beat the piss out of Grande Americano tonight so that the person that doesn’t want me here anymore can feel a little bit of his pain and mine also.”

You can check out this promo in the embedded video below:
