Wrestling Formally Announces Its Intention Of Interfering In This Thread - Part 235

[Pink Ranger]

By now, WWE surely see what they have in Styles: someone who is able to do just about anything and adapt to anything they might want from him, shine against any opponent and make them shine. He goes up against Roman Reigns and has matches so cracking they actually put some gas back in Reigns' tank when he was running on total empty post-Mania (for a little while, at least, it's running low again). Styles brought out that monster bully heel quality in Reigns that would help him get legit over as a top-tier talent rather than the babyface WWE want to shove down fans' throats... making it all the more perplexing that WWE watched those matches and thought, "Yep, Styles is the guy out of these two who ought to turn heel."

I'm proud to say that when AJ left TNA, at the time I said the WWE should bring him in for a meeting to see if he could work in the WWE system. It took some time for that to happen, but damnit, his work in the WWE exceeded my expectations. And his victories over John Cena were incredibly significant, and showed that management really likes him.

-The Ellsworth turn was great (as was AJ winning). Called it BTW.

-Miz and Ziggler were predictably excellent.

-Randy and Bray winning was also good.

-Even the Corbin vs. Kalisto match was far better than I expected it to be.

On the other hand:

-The Nikki vs. Carmella match really didn't live up to the buildup. It was just, kind of there.

-And boy did WWE show just how little they give a crap about Becky. Book her to look like a chump and a loser for this entire feud, and then have her lose the belt after vowing revenge. Congrats bookers, you have made her look truly pathetic.

Miz keeping the title doesn't bother me. The lack of challengers does.

The WWE really messed up putting most of the face midcard wrestlers on Raw.

Sami Zayn would of been a good opponent but he is over on Raw feuding with Braun.

Neville would of been another option but he is also on Raw (although we hardly ever see him. Is Neville injured?)

Tye Dillinger would of been a good opponent as well but he is stuck on a losing streak on NXT.

Now that Heath Slater dropped the tag belt I wouldn't mind seeing him have a feud for the intercontinental title with the Miz. Heath and Rhyno did tag against the Miz and spirit squad.

Knowing the WWE we will probably get a boring Swagger vs Miz or Kalisto vs Miz feud.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Agreed CM, Heath and Rhyno had a great run, but it's time for Heath to be a solo act. Maybe Rhyno can stick around as a sidekick or something. But Heath vs. Miz would be fan-effing-tastic, just for the promos and psychology alone. The elite "Hollywood" star and his foreign trophy wife vs. the struggling blue collar Southerner with his fluctuating number of children. It almost writes itself.

 

[javonstokess]

Count me in as someone who wants to see Slater vs. Miz.


Wait...did I just type that?!!

 

[nite-owl]

As a big fan of Slater I wouldn't mind if he had a run with the IC title.

 

[aNarcHy2day]

It was a pretty decent PPV.

I didn't watch the pre-show so I have no clue what happened there.

While The Wyatt Family winning was great (with a pretty good ending involving Luke Harper) I'd have preferred Slater and Rhyno booked a little stronger than they were last night.

The Nikki Bella- Carmella match was decent I guess but didn't really do anything for either. The Nikki Bella getting attacked storyline which was at least intriguing seemed like an afterthought.

The Miz- Dolph match was very good as has been the case with those two over the past few months. Great for a blow off match too. Just keep them away for a bit now. May be Zack Ryder. I don't know.

The Corbin Kalisto match was actually pretty good.

I totally called Alexa winning the title a couple of weeks back but the match itself was lackluster. It never really took off and the ending was very abrupt. There should have been a sort of exclamation point, like a Twisted Bliss or something.

That last match was all sorts of bonkers. Wow. Just wow.

Becky Lynch's title reign:

-Wins belt in a six way match where she spends most of the time not really doing much.
-Gets challenge by Alexa and called an undeserving loser.
-Gets beaten down by Alexa.
-Gets beaten down by Alexa.
-Misses a PPV due to illness (where Alexa loses to freaking Naomi clean in like 5 minutes).
-Comes back, gets beaten down by Alexa again.
-Has ONE title defense that ends with the heel (Alexa) being the one that's screwed over.
-Gets one clean TV win, and then is beaten down by Alexa again/
-Is put through a table by Alexa and vows revenge.
-Loses the belt to Alexa not even a week after making said vow.

Yep, one of the most incompetently-booked title reigns in recent memory. They did NOTHING to make her look good.

 

[chamber-music]

Who would of thought Heath Slater and Darren Young would be the last original Nexus member still actively wrestling in the WWE?

She held the title longer than all three of Sasha's reigns combined.

I didn't watch the pre-show so I have no clue what happened there.

Team Crews defeated Team Hawkins to kick things off. I thought it was fun match.

Miz keeping the title doesn't bother me. The lack of challengers does.

He never should've lost the title to Ziggler (another pointless title reign). He would've been the Intercontinental Champion for 245 days by now.

 

[The Chris]

How many title defenses did Becky actually have before losing it in all this time? Honest question. I only remember two. Last night and the screwy finish against Bliss

Mickie James offered new WWE contract.

I think it's one of two things: either Alexa blew them away since making the step up and Becky is unfortunate collateral damage or there's something up related to Becky's previous absence.

It's probably more than likely the former, but her reign has been so utterly bizarre that nothing would surprise me. Becky has had a longer reign than Sasha yes but it's chalk and cheese in terms of positioning and star making.

Great news! Hope they sign Magnus to a deal too.

So according to the people who love the Indies but despise WWE, AJ Styles will be buried in WWE as a jobber.

Who knows, if he went to WWE right after TNA instead of going to Japan and ROH first, that might have happened.
