*AJ is walking backstage, Renee Young stops him for a quick interview*
Renee Young: AJ, congratulations on your big victory over Shinsuke Nakamura last night on Raw as well as today over Big E on Smackdown live.
But I’ve got to ask you, what are your thoughts on the mind games that The Undertaker has been playing since finding out that you will be his opponent at Wrestlemania.
*AJ smirks*
AJ Styles: Renee, I think The Undertaker is a fan of AJ Styles...
*Renee looks confused*
You see, year after year all the guys backstage try and provoke The Undertaker in one way or the other to try and get a spot on the Wrestlemania card against The Phenom.
Guys like Brock Lesnar, Triple H and Cm Punk...
I didn’t need to do any of that! I earned my way into this match!
So the fact that undertaker seems to be the one provoking me, what does that tell me?
It tells me The Undertaker needs me more than I need him in this match...
Renee Young:AJ, what was going through your head last night when that casket was rolled down to the ring?
AJ Styles: I thought The Undertaker would come out and face me like a man. But instead, it was just his little mind games.
I respect The Undertaker, but I damn sure don’t fear him.
He can burn all the crosses he wants, roll out caskets to the ring.....
But when it’s all set and done and we’re standing face to face at Wrestlemania, he will find out what everyone else in this tournament found out.
