    Yeah they have done a great job with Roman vs AJ... Could be feud of the year if they keep it going and interesting. Especially considering when you look back to when AJ debuted it was just him and Roman standing 1 on 1 at the RR. Makes you think they had this whole thing cooking for awhile.

    Also I think AJ might be Romans best opponent they have a bad ass dynamic!

    Going through the list of the more athletic, fast paced champs in WWE History (HBK, Bret, Angle, Jericho, Bryan, Rollins, etc) I can't think of anyone who can touch AJ's talent in the ring. I'm sure WWE realized this and knows Styles window is not beyond a few years.

    Agreed that this is a good fued. And I am very anti-Reigns.

    The weak link out of all 6 of them is Gallows. He's not a liability in the ring but he's not special or interesting in any way.

    Very true, I haven't really watched a ton of their stuff from before WWE but I have really takin a liking to Karl Anderson, I think he has a singles run in him. Seems WWE doesn't see it yet tho cause he's the one taking all the L's right now.

    Not that I disagree with you, but between Styles, Zayn, Owens there's not enough room in Vince's show for any more guys on the smaller side near the top of the card. Zayn is actaully fairly tall, but his dad bod hurts him a ton with the top brass, you can guarantee that.

    If you aren't swoll and/or tall Vince doesn't like you near the main event. Not saying they can never break through, plenty have, but it's tough and he doesn't want his show to start looking "small" with multiple guys like that. I think Finn Balor is gonna hit that wall hard when he gets called up.

    They just love size (over skill or charsima), this has been proven time and time again. It is far and away the thing that will get you ahead in that company

    The size thing is overblown. HBK, Bret weren't overblown on roids yet.

    Jericho, Mysterio, Bryan, Punk, Rollins, Miz, etc

    Zayn can do it. The stuff with Cena, Owens, Nakamura, Styles, Cesaro has shown it. It's not been 5 months since his debut. And he wasn't on WWE TV much between RR & WM. Now he's a focal point of the show and the IC Title match is probably #2 on Extreme Rules Card in importance.

    Rollins coming back is going to make RAW explode.

    I miss the War Games matches but I always wished they did it elimination tag style like Survivor Series

    I'm not saying he has to be given a main event push but I could definitely see him having bad ass IC matches... There's just something about him that I like, it might be he just looks like a bad ass haha

    Plus I've looked up some of his singles matches from NJPW and he can go there is no doubt about it.

    Dana Brooke looks 100x better on WWE TV since her NXT TV debut about a year ago. I remember reading all the ****ting on her and hearing it in Full Sail. She's survived it and just had a really great and vicious back and forth match with Paige. She's deserving of a match with Becky Lynch at Extreme Rules, even if it's on the Kickoff Show.

    Kevin Owens and Cesaro will always be a 100% adrenaline ride.

    Luke Gallows got a nice showcase match against the champ in the main event. Good SD

    The Stardust character was stupid. Cody Rhodes was clearly never going to get a fair shot at WWE.

    I actually loved Stardust when he debut with his brother, they just never gave him anything. I even liked when they teamed him with the ascension but they axed that quickly.

    I just admired his commitment to the character.
