New Day vs. AJ & Omos at Mania

[Deleted]

So, uh, questions.

1. Why take the belts away from the Hurt Business now?

2. Why is this what you have AJ Styles doing at Mania?

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

1. That’s a fair criticism that I have no real comeback for.

2. What else would you have in mind? Styles has fought all the other main eventers on both main brands at this point, and the Triple H thing ain’t happening.

[Chiral]

New Day winning the belts back for AJ to challenge for them feels like they only just realized tonight they had no WM plans for the guy that was in Undertaker's retirement match last year.

[Perd]

Are you even registered to complain about this?

Sounds good to me.

Top of my head, work him into the Braun / Shane thing. He and Braun haven't had a real match and AJ might be able to make that actually watchable.

This is such a waste of AJ Styles man.

Seriously... HHH can't do this one match? Hell, just give him Riddle.

[Instant Classic]

I’m down for grand slam Styles.

[DrBackflipsHoffman]

Edward James Olmos??

[xxshoyuweeniexx]

I just hope Omos doesn't hurt anybody, I don't think this dude has had an actual match since the Florida loop last year and he was f***ing awful.

[Susan "Poison" Candy]

I can't wait for Omos to bust out a Burning Hammer or a Moss-Covered Three-Handled Family Gradunza

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

I’d imagine Hurt Business is getting added to add as many bodies as possible to cover for Omos

[Deleted]

Ahhhhh, makes sense. AJ and Amos are heels so they gotta put a face team against them. Who better than New Day who's got the accolades, popularity and status? No other face team is as credible as them on the men's Raw roster. Besides that, it's AJ Styles. Kofi/AJ is always fire. Omos is the wild card here. It's his make or break and well, New Day is mega talented and they can cover up his faults. They're smaller lighter guys who can easily be thrown around. It's easy heat for Omos.

It's the best choice.

I found this part of New Day's promo fascinating. Like, is there a kayfabe registration system in place for new tag teams? Do they have to go to Pearce or Sonya, say "We're a tag team now" and then fill out paperwork?

[Mayonnaise]

I guess they are hoping for a Diesel/HBK thing with these two.

So Omos is gonna call the tag belts a pittance once they split?

[berlynwright]

I think this is a giant waste of AJ, man. I know his 5 stars (or even 4 star range) matches are beyond him these days, but he's still entertaining as dorky heel and has a big star aura. May sound bitter but Edge walked into WM main event and rumble win from injury but AJ was a permanent fixture on Raw and that's all they can give him?

Now he has to carry Omos for another year at least.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Hurt Business had no business losing the tag titles tonight, like at all. I hate how WWE treats their tag divisions, like absolutely f***ing jokes to the point a team who has never even had a match are now just number one contenders, it's bullshit.

More so it's gonna be even stupider if Hurt Business are still added to the match and aren't even champions. Giving New Day another useless title reign is f***ing stupid, they have beyond run their course especially with no Big E.

[Starshine]

That is one uninspired match. Reminds me of that one Mania where Ziggler and Big E challenged... someone, I forget, for the tag belts. I only remember they lost, and the match was like 5 minutes long, or something.

[Kalmia]

Poor AJ. Couldn't they come up with some stupid reason to have him face one of the excellent wrestlers on Smackdown that don't have a match yet? At least that would be a better match.
