Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I wonder how disappointed Vincethe Raw crowd will be when they find out out Finn is sub 6-feet tall and worse than Sheamus on the mic?

The story is AJ Styles helped them get a job in the WWE. The story going into Payback is AJ Styles behind them attacking Usos and Reigns.

The payoff is either 1) AJ is behind them, is evil, 2) Roman's evil and behind them and its all a swerve, or 3) They're just generally evil and neither AJ or Roman is evil.

I would imagine No. 3 unless Vince is dumb enough to turn a super over guy he just signed for no real reason.

I think the audience is already well aware that AJ is super short. He debuted at the Rumble where he looked tiny next to all the bigger guys. Looked short next to Jericho and his lift shoes as well.

Edit:
He's super shit on the mic though, for sure.

This is fucking bullshit! Are you serious? A glorified C+ guy is wwf champion? No one even cares about him and you put the strap on him? You can go to shit wwf because it's all going down the drain from here. Triple H can't hold your company together. I'll be glad when Turner rushes in to scoop up the scrap left.

AJ could lose clean at Payback, leading to the Club dumping him and bringing in Finn the next night on Raw, leading to a AJ/Finn and BC feud

"Dunn I've got it! I know how to get Roman over!"
"Vince...I thought we decided..."
"This is gonna work I tell ya!"
"Boss it's brilliant!"

Amusingly enough I was talking about Finn, but it applies equally to AJ, although Finn has a lot more internal hype than Styles did.

The AJ/Roman thing has an interesting dynamic where AJ is being treated like a heel without actually doing any heel stuff.

I'm really hoping they don't ruin a competent storyline by revealing who Gallows/Anderson are working for ahead of Payback itself. I don't think anyone realistically expects Styles to win at Payback, so the only real question surrounding the match itself has to be the Bullet Club thing.

AJ has good facials and a lot of physical charisma. He doesn't take himself too seriously and is fun to watch.

Finn is just a guy with good abs who has consistently disappointing matches.

I think my issue is that random episodes of NXT are consistently overrated, particularly during his tenure as the champion. Finn barely interacted with anyone directly the entire time other than Samoa Joe coming out and murdering him several times and then Finn winning the match for no reason.

In fact, as far as I recall he only feuded with 2 guys the entire time for the title; Owens and Joe and he was never going to outwork either one of them at either wrestling or on the mic.

I think the TakeOver specials are consistently higher quality than the similar main roster events, but the average episodes are extremely forgettable more often than not.
