- Despite being advertised, AJ Styles was not present at live events this weekend but will be back at Smackdown on Tuesday to wrestle Luke Harper, with the winner being hyped as going on to face Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania.
- Styles is not injured in any way and was simply given the weekend off and with WWE advertising him for the house shows seems to be a case of internal miscommuniction.
- Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio took a guess that he feels Styles will end up winning the match against Harper, but there has already been speculation that Shane McMahon will take away his title shot after Randy Orton changes his mind, setting up a Shane/Styles match at WrestleMania.
- Another less likely scenario being rumored is that Harper will win and WWE will make the WrestleMania WWE Title match a triple threat with Bray Wyatt defending against Orton & Harper.
