Hey guys and welcome toWHAT'S NEXT, I am Mackenzie Mitchell and
as you can see my co host Alicia Taylor is not here today.
In 2022 maybe it was her new year's resolution she's deciding
to take up new hobbies.
Apparently she's taking up tap dancing lessons basket weaving,
pumpkin pie making, tennis lessons acrobatics orthodontic school.
I mean there's so, there's so much that she has done and
decided to take up this year.
Honestly, I'm very confused by it all.
So, she's engaging in one of those activities that she can't be here this
morning on WHAT'S NEXT.
Nonetheless, Tuesday was wild, and I actually had a very special
phenomenal encounter myself with AJ styles check it out.
Hey, guys, okay soi'm here with AJ styles as you can see,
it's just me because Alicia's not here this Thursday morning.
She's actually learning tap dancing, she's not basket weaving,
she's learning how to make pumpkin pies.
Yeah, I know, she's taken up a lot of new skills over the New Year.
But AJ nonetheless, we're so glad to have you here at NXT.
You and Gacy Mahler have had some controversy,
do you think that that got settled on Tuesday night?
>> I hope so I hope that I shut Grayson's mouth.
And maybe he learned a couple of things through the beating that I gave him, man.
I hope he enjoyed that and if not I hope that the WWE universe enjoyed it.
>> What was the number one lesson that you think that you taught Grayson Waller?
>> When you think you know everything in this business.
Sometimes you need a little slap or
a punch- >> Sure.
>> Or a kick to remind you that you don't.
>> Sure, well, we always ask what's next, what's next for AJ Styles
>> Well, the Royal Rumble,
that's what's next.
I've never won the Royal Rumble.
And most people think about the Royal Rumble,
it was AJ Styles' debut in 2016 I need to win this one.
>> Yeah, absolutely.
>> I need a big win and what better way to do it in 2022 than win the Royal rumble.
>> I'm with you doubt.
>> Hey, mind Russell mania.
>> That's right.
Well, thank you so much and we hope to see you back at the next season.
>> Yeah I may take up making and pumpkin making, but making pumpkin pie,
maybe apple pie look into that >> Yeah you should absolutely.
>> Do that yeah.
>> Pecan but guys AJ Styles is that the only guest that I have this week
on WHAT'S NEXT I think my producers them or maybe the NXT universe.
I really wanted these guests, either way, they're all about peace, love and
inclusivity.
So let's bring them on please welcome Joe Gacy and Harlan.

How did you guys meet let's tell the NXT Universe that story.
>> Well, me and Harlan found each other
[MUSIC]
And that was how it was meant to be.
>> Okay Harlan, how about this one for you?
Do you really think it was necessary to almost throw Bodi off the building?
Do you think that that was necessary?
I mean, don't you think that took things all too far?
[MUSIC]
>> Harland is still thinking about the decisions he made and
we're working through that together.
>> You don't think that was a little it was a lot.
I mean, for Bodie to be almost thrown off a building.
You said he's been more restrictive than ever, but
I don't know if that's it's an accurate statement.
>> Bodie seems to be just fine now.
