Did he get fired?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Mar 15, 2017 11:52 am

Per storyline yes.

Although Shane came out at the end of Smackdown and said " AJ said he doesn't have a match for WM? well now he does".

I imagine this either goes where Shane overrules Bryan or AJ keeps hijacking the show and beating up Shane over a few weeks and they set up an unsanctioned street fight with AJ's job on the line.

Either way it's an intriguing storyline IMO.

Lol WWE have moved AJ Styles from WWE superstars to WWE alumni (where likes of CM Punk are) on their website.

Dat Kayfabe.

by M99 Wed Mar 15, 2017 3:42 pm

Apparently Shane announced AJ Styles vs Chrisley for Wrestlemania.

by M99 Thu Mar 16, 2017 2:20 pm

Man, Neville is the best heel on the company right now. Dude's fantastic.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 16, 2017 2:37 pm

Depends how we define heels really, if it's about getting heat etc etc then it's clear to me that Samoa Joe and Miz are the the best in the company.

Kevin Owens could join them if he continues his current trajectory since turning on Chris Jericho.

If it's about how entertaining they are while remaining arrogant pricks then Neville is definitely up there.

wrestlemania 34 plans:

Just *bleep* kill me Laughing

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 16, 2017 2:52 pm

LMFAO.

This is why i don't want AJ Styles on RAW, or anyone from Smackdown really.

by Kaladin Thu Mar 16, 2017 2:56 pm

AJ is going to RAW with Zayn going the other way in all likelihood

by M99 Thu Mar 16, 2017 2:59 pm

AJ is the top heel on Smackdown. If he goes on RAW, I see Kevin Owens on Smackdown or another heel like Joe.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 16, 2017 3:15 pm

I truly think this Triple H stable with Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe is happening btw so i doubt they'll be moved.

My main issue with this is everything is about Roman Reigns and no amount of talent is going to help RAW, their writing and booking is *bleep* awful and just putting more talent on the show just makes Smackdown worse and Raw remains terrible.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 16, 2017 3:40 pm

I should say though that Vince doesn't know what he's doing next week so i doubt he knows what he's doing for WM34.

by M99 Thu Mar 16, 2017 5:33 pm

WON:

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 16, 2017 5:42 pm

What I expected tbh.

If he goes to Raw though rofl

by Kaladin Thu Mar 16, 2017 6:09 pm

What are the chances of Nakamura being the big bad foreign heel and some American superstar, say Apollo Creed, beats him

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 16, 2017 6:29 pm

Not even they are that dumb.

by Kaladin Thu Mar 16, 2017 6:39 pm

Listening to this

https://youtu.be/e4rdFH9N23o

Meltzer says Balor was going to be the next top babyface to the point where Vince had him beat Roman, he says unless a top babyface supersedes Roman (Balor), then in all likelihood the push for Roman continues

There is hope yet my friends

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 16, 2017 6:51 pm

That was good timing though because it was during the period after he failed a drug test.

If Balor hadn't got injured and proved during that period he could surpass Roman in their eyes then it could have been possible I suppose.

Thing is they don't want anyone else but Roman so these guys have to get massively over without the company help so it's highly unlikely anyone is going to do it.

AJ is over enough but he's too old and Nakamura's promos will likely not cut it even if he gets over.

Rollins face turn was botched so that doesn't work either, maybe he gets enough momentum post HHH feud to salvage it.

So there's no obvious Babyface right now, they have to build one up but they have zero interest in that because Reigns.

I'm beyond honored to have the legendary @JohnCena inducting me into the 2017 WWE HOF. #finishwherewestarted #itstrue
— Kurt Angle (@RealKurtAngle) March 16, 2017

Great decision tbh.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 16, 2017 10:54 pm

Outside of Stone Cold it's probably the best decision tbh.

Because the hilarious thing is Angle spent more time in TNA than he did in WWE and he probably had more matches with AJ and Joe than he did with anyone in WWE but those are impossible for various reasons.

I'd argue actually that in terms of his career Brock is his most memorable feud, but I can't see Brock having the passion to do something like this anymore.

Would probably stand up there and shout Eat, Sleep, Induct Kurt Repeat.

by RealGunner Thu Mar 16, 2017 10:57 pm

I really wonder who will induct Cena.

I think it has to be Orton but HBK played a huge part in Cena's development too. Kurt Angle made his career so he is up there. Edge was his greatest rival.

Vince might be the only one who can honestly say how important Cena was.

by M99 Thu Mar 16, 2017 11:00 pm

Vince or Orton. Ultimately it comes down to who WWE wants it to be. Angle said he wanted Austin to induct him but Cena is doing it.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 16, 2017 11:01 pm

Edge for me, if he hadn't left the company you could say Punk but that seems impossible now.

by Kaladin Thu Mar 16, 2017 11:02 pm

Punk all day everyday if he returns

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 16, 2017 11:07 pm

In fairness to WWE Cena was one of the options Kurt wanted it just so happened Austin was no 1 on that list.
