    Styles could have a match with a broom on american television and still get 5 stars from meltzer.

    And I probably wouldn't disagree with Meltzer. AJ is another planet in the ring.

    It's pretty absurd how good he is. Not just for his age, which is in itself mind-blowing. He is the best wrestler in the world.

    AJ and Dean tore the fucking house down. Bravo boys.

    Those two put on an incredible match (fuck Dallas for chanting for Taker you ungrateful fucks), and had some hellacious bumps. Those two have great chemistry.

    Curious to see where they go next?

    Corbin is alright. I'll be interested to see if they move him up to the IC picture now that Miz/Dolph has ended. Not sure WWE will do that with heel/heel. We'll see.

    So Taker come back tomorrow and start a feud with AJ? Maybe Taker gets wins the title for the last time at Rumble? Loses it to Cena at WrestleMania for Cena's 16th and final title reign?

    I'm pretty sure they are moving to James Ellsworth and AJ with Dean somewhere in that mix.

    Smackdown needs some major names in the Rumble. My guess is we see Taker and Cena entered as Smackdown guys.

    So just realized Smackdown is really heel heavy. In fact, heels hold all of the titles right now. They really need to move Zayn over because right now you have what, Ambrose, Ziggler, Crews, Kalisto?

    Since Ellsworth is getting his title shot tomorrow, I wonder if they are just going to have AJ squash him and end this now. Rumble is in 8 weeks and there aren't any PPV's between now and then for Smackdown, have to start building a big feud pretty soon here.

    Zayn isn't being moved. Cesaro isn't either. Cesaro is in the middle of a big push for the tag titles. Zayn just kicked off what could be a excellent program with Braun/Mick.

    Smackdown does need baby faces but it may come in the form of NXT call up's or a AJ turn. He's getting huge baby reactions each week. People like him they don't want to boo him.

    I could see AJ beating down James from the start. Slip up some and James gets some offense in to the point you might think a upset could happen but Dean runs in and spoils the match setting a triple threat in a few weeks.

    Bliss will drop the title next month to Nikki. She's a quintessential "heel transitional champion"

    Heels are for title holding, Faces are for chasing so you get that huge pay off eventually. At least that's the way it used to be. Now the fans like heels equally with faces.

    It's amazing how good aj is at selling big shots. He can turn any contact into a full flip.

    I had a feeling bliss would win simply because I don't know if she could go through a table Ala sasha.

    But man what a show with only 2 weeks build. It helps to have TLC in the spot more than nay other ppv because you can build it around big bump spots. So that helps too.

    Also who makes the tables ladders and chairs for wwe? Obviously they are horrible for actual consumer uses and I'm pretty sure those ladders are.illegal for stability issues. Just a stunt prop company? I wonder how much they do just from wrestling in a year.

    Excited for the Wyatt titles.

    I hope not. She's on par with Charlotte as heel on a mic. Her in ring work is coming along. 5 years from now she may be in the same conversation as Sasha, Bayley, Char and Becky...

    How is rumble going to work this year anyway? 1 match with half from raw and half from smackdown or is each brand going to have there own?

    Having one with the winner getting to pick which brands title to go after might be a cool angle
