The wrestling world witnessed another dramatic turn on SmackDown as a 43-year-old star shared his thoughts on AJ Styles’ aggressive actions towards LA Knight.
Shawn Spears, whose return to NXT sparked considerable buzz in recent weeks, has found himself embroiled in a heated feud with Ridge Holland.
As tensions escalate between the two competitors, Spears’ notorious reputation for utilizing steel chairs to decimate his opponents resurfaces, earning him the moniker “The Chairman.”
Recalling his impactful debut in AEW, where he famously struck Cody Rhodes with a chair shot, Spears’ connection to the use of this weapon in the ring is undeniable. However, it seems the tactic has now made its way onto the SmackDown stage, courtesy of AJ Styles.
In a shocking twist during tonight’s episode, LA Knight, eager to address his ongoing rivalry with Styles, found himself ambushed from behind by the Phenomenal One, wielding a steel chair as his weapon of choice.
