Yeah, after last night's promo, which was great, he is either getting squashed or he's going to be the guy going forward.
*WWE Modern Walls of Jericho is trash.
Knee to the back of the head, drop down Walls was great. IE the Lion Tamer.

I hate how if you go to any segment or match with AJ in 2014 there's a very strong chance the crowd is chanting CM Punk throughout it.
The KO who lost to Cena 2 times and Balor in less than a month?Gimme this KO
Keeping the NXT title on a call-up for too long isn't feasible, making the loss necessary and barely canon and everyone loses to Cena but he got some good hits in.

I'm guessing something went down in the Gaming Discussion that dealt with John Cena.

Is Cena promoting Nintendo products now?
They should get Tanahashi to promote in Japan and do some crazy crossover advertisements.
It wont help thw product sell at all but Id enjoy it.

The Uncharted 4 ending...
Of course it's happening.
I mean, i don't know. Anything can happen, WWE can ruin everything they do in one night. But if it makes slightly sense, they didn't keep that indie guy as a champ for 8 month, with terrible ratings, then had him assassinate the most over thing they have right now to cement his rebirth as a monster heel, just to squash him one week later.
Clearly last week and this week are a new beginnings for Owens.
The logic would be Owens to lead the match by surprising Godlberg and carrying him, but when Goldberg comes back, some shenanigans happens. I'm not sure what... Lesnar has no reason.. Trips or Joe ? But.. why ?
Look what they did with Brock and Undertaker. So don't count it out.
They gave Cena is 16th title win just to have him lose it 2 weeks later.
You give WWE way too much credit for long term planning.
Both are booking decisions that didn't really matter on the scale of those 2 guy's career.
I mean they used a 25 minutes segment last week then a 5 minute recap to open raw for that story. It's huge right now for them. They basically handcrafted their top heel.
I think Maybe Jericho costs him the match after all but that means he has to look like he has a chance first.

If they actually did Nak vs. Styles at Mania it would be genius
Bring him in solely to be a "big deal opponent" and the biggest audience they get all year sees him against a guy who has completely won fans over. Who also knows how to put on an amazing match with him. Have the audience watch him work a match like that with a crowd like that before he even cuts a poor English promo
Bring on Shane-o though

It would be the best.
It still shocks me how rude people are on the internet. Going on twitter and seeing people say to AJ "nobody wants to see some shit match against Shane" or whatever, directly to him, its so fucking rude I can't believe people have the gall to say that to the people involved.

Everyone knows AJ does the booking, he's politicking his way into HHH's marriage and the McMahon dynasty

No Nak, because who ever loses gets hurt.If Aj loses, he would really be Zigglerd.

Styles will never be Ziggler tier because Styles has actual talent.

Do you seriously think AJ losing means he's buried
It is downright incredible how in 2017 him and Cena are shown as equals (with him being "the better man" for majority of their feud)
AJ is more of a star than majority of the people on the roster, look at live crowds. Dude has completely taken over
If Nak goes over it establishes him as a legit threat and AJ gets his comeuppance. Otherwise you bring Nak in to have some 5 star classics with your boy Ziggler in the midcard

His match with Bobby Roode was very good. Plus I hate this Nak is lazy narrative when I see him already having 5 4 stars or more matches since he came to NXT.
Most of his NXT matches are like c tier Nak matches, I mean I was watching Nak vs Ishii match from g1 25 the other day and it blow away anything he done in wwe.

Meltz addressed and basically called WWE the company vets like Nak can come and do less than half the things they did back in NJPW and get bigger pops. I agree.
Also, man, I don't care that wrasslegaf is not sold, my excitement for Horizon is through the roof. Hunting the beasts looks so darn fun.

Read the bit about New Day ice cream and I don't understand how any actual adults can watch this show.
Not out until Friday over here
Because it's fun?
So you just like his New Japan style matches then. Thats fine but saying he is lazy because he doing his WWE version is different.
If you didn't enjoy his matches against Balor, Joe, Roode or Zayn just say that.
This place has so much hyperbole sometimes. If you listened to Review a Wai its like John and Wai watched a completely different show compared to some of the posts last night.

There should be a rule that every Takeover the NXT title match should be something fresh. With only about four or five PPV's a year, I hate how they drag out the same feud to another Takeover.
Joe vs Finn was a feud that lasted what, nearly half a year?

I just worry about AJ a lot, I know he doesn't have 4 more years, so i get scared. 2016 was pretty magical for him.

Lol Lawler also says Godfather instead of Goodfather.
AJ is wrestling at the same level as he did in NJPW and Nak is not. The dude was known for being lazy in NJPW but in NXT he has taken it to a whole another level. If a guy can have 5 to 4.5 star classics in a another promotion but doesn't in his current promotion with top teir talent then he is lazy.

Nakamura's matches against Roode and Zayn were great. Everything else has been whatever and the match in Osaka (I think it was Osaka?) was awful. I want to see him go all out against AJ in a big match too. I have no idea how they would use him on Raw or SD.
And yeah Raw was shit last night. The only thing I really enjoyed was Owens and the main event.

Nak isn't going to put any effort in front of a crowd of 200 people in a tiny Florida gym. I don't blame him.
AJ v Nak. Special attraction match. Keep the workrate nerds happy.

KO part and the main match were the only good parts. The rest was recycled stuff from last week and a boring promo with Steph and Bayley.
