That's exactly what Triple H is. Bro, look at the way they did it. Bring in Brock at the top, bring in AJ Lee at the bottom, because the NFL is up against us on Friday night. If there is no NFL game tonight, there is definitely no Brock on the show. There may be AJ Lee, but there's no Brock on the show.

Everybody is gonna be watching the game."WWE sent the Chicago crowd home happy by bringing back AJ Lee after 10 years on SmackDown.If you carry quotes from the first half of the article, please give an H/T to Sportskeeda Wrestling for the transcription.
