The segment ended with Styles decking McMahon after the Chairman goaded Styles into it “I guess Vince is trying to bring out a more aggressive version of Styles and give him a bit of a McMahon rub, we’ll have to see where this goes. I guess Vince thinks he can have kind of the Midas touch getting AJ to the next level because AJ has been too nice lately.”
Styles has already had two face runs and a heel run, so perhaps Vince was just trying to get Styles to either return to the dark side or get an edge.

He also mentioned that it seemed like previous versions of the Mr. McMahon character:

“This is just another Ruthless Aggression speech from fifteen years ago and the ‘Puke thing’ (‘He’s gonna puke, he’s gonna puke”) [from Beyond The Mat}. It’s just this window into this odd Vince McMahon personality, but it’s just strange watching Vince do it where it just feels brittle and weird, I don’t know.”
Keller also mentioned that it could probably lead to a new direction/character change for Styles.

What's next?
Styles is currently negotiating for a new contract and has asked for some time off in the near future in order to spend more time with his family. This could be the reason why he dropped the title to Bryan and why he hasn't been on every SmackDown since before Survivor Series.

The segment is likely to propel Styles' character into a shift in dynamic since he's been the face champion for the better part of the last year. Since his contract ends after WrestleMania, they might either use this interaction as an on-screen storyline or simply as the impetus for Styles switching his character up.
