"No, you don't, Shane; you only care about yourself, not the WWE or the WWE Universe."
"That's a lie, Steph."
"Prove it a lie, Shane, because you know it is true. The WWE Universe is finally seeing who you are a no-good conniving snake in the grass, who attempt to blackmail our father into giving in to your demands concerning the family business."
"I am trying to save the family business for the next generations of McMahons."
"No, you're not, Shane."
"Yes, I am." Shane offers to run RAW, and Stephanie can take SmackDown.

"Ok. He doesn't like to talk behind people's backs but pointed out that Alberto Del Rio just showed up at the arena.
Del Rio a. He thinks Del Rio should be removed from the Money in the Bank ladder match.

A graphic was shown next to John Cena, and AJ Styles's contract signing. Then, RAW goes back to commercials. When RAW returns from the break, Michael Cole is in the ring, saying, "In addition to Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, we have a match that is worthy of a WrestleMania main event. It is fifteen years in the making. Finally, the two men are here live to sign the contract. Out first is John Cena, who comes out. Cena poses and then makes his way to the ring, as the footage was shown from two weeks ago of AJ Styles and the Club ambushing Cena. Cena hits the ring and grabs a mic as the boo continues.
Cena cuts a promo about this Sunday's Money in the Bank and the matches, including his own match against Styles. First, Cena talks about his accolades, then Styles accolades away from the WWE. Next, Cena tells the fans he talked to Stephanie McMahon earlier, and we'll do this differently tonight. Finally, Cena tells Cole to leave the ring. All we need to make history right now is AJ Styles.
AJ Styles' music hits, and New Orleans cheers him as he comes out and hits the ring. Then, Styles cut a promo on Cena.
Cena tells Styles there are two contracts here. One contract guarantees a single match against him, and the other is a match that has the Club at ringside. Styles is confused. Cena says fifteen years of "What id" is answered in one contract. The other contract will allow Styles to fight Cena, and probably win because the Club is at ringside, but he'll be captain of the bitch club. The other contract lets them return to the electricity they had when they first got in the ring together. Can the penultimate underdog slay the giant? Styles can sign that contract and truly answer, "What if?"
Styles chuckled and said, "he sees what Cena is doing here."
Styles think Cena thinks he cannot beat him. Is it because he's a fifteen times World Champion? Or maybe it's because he's won the Royal Rumble twice? Or is it because he's the face that runs this place?"
Styles go on. If he were here fifteen years ago, Cena wouldn't have been a fifteen-time World Heavyweight Champion nor won the Royal Rumble twice. Cena wouldn't' be on magazine covers or in movies. But, if the powers that be wouldn't keep him out of WWE for so long, he'd have all those Accolades and, would be the face that runs this place.
Cena tells him to shut up. The Club isn't full of bullets; it's full of bull. Cena gave him respect, and he's come out here complaining like every other indy dude before, thinking it should have, and could have been them. Styles didn't do it, but he's too stupid to realize he can man up and do it now. Styles can sign the contract, and prove him wrong, or he can sign the contract for the Club where he'll burn himself. Styles can get on a bullet train back to Japan because he left his balls over there. Styles angrily grabs a pen, and looks at both contracts,
Styles then sign the contract for a straight one-on-one match against Cena, without the Club at ringside. Cena signs the contract next. Styles said, "Cena will find out real quick that he isn't every other independent guy with his K-Mart shopping ass. After Money in the Bank, he may get the message that his time is up, and Styles' time is now!" Styles music hits, and then he walks off.
Sami Zyan is backstage talking to Shane McMahon, but no one cannot hear them. RAW goes back to commercials. When RAW returned from the break, Owens, and Del Rio took on The Lucha Dragons, and there was nonstop action, including Owens and Del Rio arguing too. The action continues until Owens hits the pop-up powerbomb for the win. After the match, Del Rio came in and kicked Owens in the head. RAW goes back to commercials
When RAW returns from the break, and Kevin Owens is backstage talking to Stephanie McMahon about the show. Owens says, "This entire night has been nothing but crap. Thankfully he's still the Money in the Bank match, no thanks to Del Rio. His spot in the match shouldn't have been in jeopardy."
Stephanie said, "It sounds like you are whining, Owens."
Owens, look at Stephanie, then change the subject. Sami Zyan will be on commentary for Chris Jericho vs. Dean Ambrose."
Stephanie said and?"
"Well, your brother Shane McMahon approved it."
Stephanie saw what Owens was trying to do, but she took his bait, and said, no, you cannot be on the commentary."
Del Rio walks up and asks if he could be on the commentary.
"Stephanie tells him no too. Del Rio and Owens leave, and Ambrose's replay is shown from earlier in the night, suggesting that he could win the briefcase and cash in during their match.
After the video, The McMahons are arguing backstage; Stephanie tells Shane to wait until you are in front of Kristina. Then, she will handle you yet again.
Shane said, "You think I am scared of her."
'"You should be Shane; she holds the WWE in the palm of her hand right now, and what could happen to you concerns the family business," Vincent said.
Shane asks if they invite Corporate Kane to the show.
Stephanie says, "that Corporate Kane would be the worst choice to run SmackDown, but then Kristina will be making that decision, not you."
"Think again, Stephanie. Our father will be making that decision, not her."
'Her name is Kristina Shane; get it right. Kristina is our half-sister.," Vincent said.
Corporate Kane walks up, and Shane says, "There are looking for someone with more stability."
Kane realizes that he didn't get the job and walks off. Shane says, "Kasne didn't have what it takes to run Smackdown, but neither are you two. We will continue to run RAW, but he's running Smackdown," Stephanie and Vince scoff.
