Can we please talk about Alexa with the twintails?
Can we?
mmph
Also: Raw's first solo PPV has a lot to live up to considering their roster. Backlash was a lot of fun despite how poop the card looked. Raw has a lot of big names, and if their show ends up being worse, well.
Well, I'll shake my finger at them, that's what.
Sure Triple H had a lot to do with Styles being signed to the WWE, but as far as convincing creative that he was top guy belt worthy, that was AJ winning over Vince.

Yep. This isn't some bullshit just to protect Dean. It'll actually add to AJ's character and he'll own it. People should want stuff like this to happen when it's a guy like AJ. It classic booking that has worked for forever.

Every guy has to win over Vince though. I think people overestimate how much Triple H can influence Vince's decisions. lol

I don't see how it's dangerous at all? The only danger comes from tucking. If you don't understand how to take one move I wouldn't feel safe working with you.
It's not like any of Seth's bullshit.
Enjoy it while it last, marks.
Or Eddie / Benoit
Shh, let him dream.

yeah,and i iterally can't explain how that's possible..i mean it's not like it' s all improvisation and they are 2 indie guys that just met for the first time 20 minutes before the match...it's wwe we are talking about..knowing how to take your opponent finisher should be basic..especially since the styles clash isn't even that difficult to take..we are not talking about something eleborate

The same guy that lost to The Hurricane is now the champ
Enjoy it while it last, marks.
I will give you Ryder and Punk but that Bryan was generic babyface Bryan. Far from what he became.
AJ vs Lesnar
AJ vs Rollins
Those 2 would probably make for goat 60 min iron match.
Styles vs DB as well would be epic for iron man if DB didn't retire.

Cena'a winning the Rumble and will take the title off AJ at the Mains.
I'm not even mad about that.
I'm not even mad about that.
There's no proof of that. Brisco and Regal scout for the WWE as well as people on legends contracts. AJ has also been on their radar forever on and off. Same with Roode.and Joe. Hell, Foley was the one who recommended Joe.
Trust me, Triple H would have let it be known he signed AJ if he had

I honestly don't think Cena's winning a major title for the rest of his career. He's winding down.

Tying Austin's rumble win record and then tying Flair's title record?
Disturbingly plausible.
If you watch that Stone Cold podcast with AJ as guest, listen to what AJ says. I don't mean this in a bad way, but he comes off as a company guy. AJ is honestly excited to be in the WWE, he loves working with the talent, and it sounds like he's thinking longer term in still being involved when the wrestling days come to an end. AJ 100% bought in to WWE and so Vince 100% bought into AJ
Joining The Rock in that regard.

isn't that the opposite?

now since the roster isnt that deep I assume Dean gets a rematch for the title, but who feuds with AJ from here that is even close to the caliber not just match quality but also with the fans as well. It's almost like they need to call up someone from NXT, because the smackdown roster dont cut it.

That was a typo on my end.
He figured out he has a job for life
he's worse than Kevin Nash but doesn't get anywhere near the shit for it

That may have been a botch at the end, but in kayfabe, it looked to me like Dean fighting to avoid getting put in the Styles Clash, which is a really nice touch and makes Dean look tough that he was still fighting after getting kicked in the nuts.

Notice that he didn't take a picture with AJ just like he does everybody. Could be wrong in a couple of minutes though.
Ziggler and Orton depending on how long he's out.
Thats why Sami should have been on Smackdown. Raw is too overcrowded with guys who could be in the Main Event picture, SD doesn't have enough. Joe's time has got to be coming soon.

I would agree with this because sadly I think Nakamura is going to RAW which is sad because I would love to see a AJ vs Nakamura Main Event at wrestle mania for the championship.
Yeah. Gotta imagine Joe gets called up to Smackdown after Survivor Series.
Who could have ever imagined we'd be talking about AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe as a realistic possibility for the WWE title in 2016?
Like 80% of upper carders are guys like that at this point, I dunno if that sort of thing really applies anymore.Enjoy it while it last, marks.
Orton is next up assuming he can get cleared. There's also Samoa Joe, who's down in NXT. All you gotta do is turn either him or AJ.
Worse comes to worst, they can trade someone to Raw and get Sami Zayn.

Yep Sami would have had a fantastic feud with AJ but also probably used as well on smackdown and ppv's because they could use his talent

Weren't Samoa Joe and Cena road buddies in the late 90s?

But hey, shit another notch in the badge that is AJ Styles. Great job!
Kofi still tag champ.

Sami vs AJ would be amazing
Sami and AJ are my two favourites. I really wish Sami wasn't on raw having meaningless losses to kevin and rollins and jinder
Pretty sure they started out at the same wrestling school. They could easily turn that into a feud, with Joe being pissed that Cena getting signed to WWE so early in his career while Joe had to spend over a decade on the independents before getting signed.

Ehhh, Michelle McCool use to use it. As long as you know how to take it, it's no big deal I've never cared for it because the only time it's ever actually looked devastating is when it was fucked up.
But she was the MVP of that match and after she was out of it, shit started to go sideways as it turned into a clusterfuck to get to the finish.
Yeah they both pretty much got their start in UPW, there was a documentary in either 1999 or 2000 that focused on UPW that featured both of them.
