What is your opinion on AJ Styles' second reign as WWE Champion?
 

With his "not so stellar" track record on PPV and being lower on the pecking order, what is your opinion on AJ Styles' current reign as WWE Champion on Smackdown? Also, do you believe he'll have a competitive showing at Survivor Series when he faces RAW's Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar?

Very insignificant.

He’s the 5th most important champion in the company behind - Lesnar, Ronda, Rollins, and Becky.

Very little thought have gone into his feuds. I’m sure Vince loves his reliability and work ethic and that’s why he’s champion. Once Vince actually starts paying attention and cares enough to build a challenger for Styles, he will lose.

I am a bit concerned about the length of the match considering how short Brock Lesnar's last two were.

His second run as Intercontinental Champion has been good

Incredibly underwhelming.

Yeah his fueds with guys like Nakamura and Joe have been underwhelming. I thought him and Lesnar had a great match last year and knowing WWE likes to do things in 3s I could see AJ picking up the win somehow.

My assumption is that Vince would like to book Brock Lesnar strongly so that when he eventually drops the Universal title (to Braun Strowman?), the victory doesn't feel "watered down".

The Big Dog is the one getting the title at WrestleMania after he puts the Superman Punch to Cancer.

I have a feeling Styles is gonna upset Lesnar via Strowman interference or something.

Or they go DQ by having some SD heel attack Styles just when it looks like he’s about to pull off the upset.

Having Styles win via rollup works

I absolutely think Styles is going to win. I don't think it will magically make the WWE Title the chief one in WWE though. Destor was right calling it the Intercontinental Championship.

OTHER WINS!

Do you change your vote now that it is DANIEL BRYAN?

Daniel Bryan will win

Headline from the future: Paul Heyman surprises everyone by turning on his Client at Survivor Series and helping new WWE Champion Daniel Bryan defeat Brock Lesnar.

It makes too much sense.

If Brock is around until Mania, he’s gonna need Heyman until then. Doesn’t make sense for Heyman to turn on him now in a non-title match just to pair up with a guy he’s not gonna feud with anyway. It would be ridiculous.

So WWE could totally go that route.

If he turns on Brock Brock loses to Braun and he goes away again but it keeps Heyman on TV

Daniel Bryan doesn't need Heyman.

When is Brock losing to Braun and going away in this situation? If it’s like 2 weeks later then you might as well save the turn for then when it’s more meaningful. If it’s not until WrestleMania then that’s way too long for Brock to go without him.

Braun gets a rematch. I assume at Royal Rumble since he also gets a match with Corbin (conveniently he gets to pick the stipulation in time for TLC) but he might face Brock at TLC which Is like a month from now.

Neither did CM Punk

There has to be some reasoning as to why Heyman got AJ to take the match with Daniel Bryan. Maybe he doesn't dump Brock and still managed Bryan in his absence..I dunno

Having a manager is not always about needing a manager. I don't like the Bryan/Heyman pairing though. Something about it seems "too easy" and like it would get too cool too fast.
