Always found him bland as hell as face. I think that’s a big part of it. I can't speak about his work outside of WWE, but in WWE he's always sucked as a face IMO. He has zero personality as one.

I think his fued with Orton going into mania 35 was pretty good Feud was fine but the match majorly underdelivered. Their SmackDown match a couple years prior was great but the Mania match was just dull. Kinda my thinking. AJ is great when there are stakes (ie titles), but rivalry/blood feuds being settled in straight wrestling matches will almost never hit. My biggest gripe about the VKM era is that so many matches were just happening for the sake of it.

Other than maybe KO and Nakamura I think Bryan is the first person that comes to mind for me for bad AJ Styles feuds. It should've been good but other than the one where Bryan won the title the matches were okay at best (and I kind of hesitate to go that far, their Rumble match sucked ass) and Bryan's character at that point when he was just going on about veganism every week for cheap heat was intolerable. And it's not like AJ was actually bringing anything to the table to counterbalance it, it was basically Bryan giving long speeches every week and then maybe AJ would silently run him off. That shit sucked. one of the terrible things about the Nakamura feud is that they hyped the match based on "you know how good their NJPW match was"...which was stupid in it's own right... but 2. they didn't seem to let them get out of first gear, probably to set up the heel turn and match later (which again would be fine if you didn't do it AT WRESTLEMANIA) and also if... like they ever let them get out of second gear... or let Nakamura win anything ever.

I liked the Undertaker one with the Boneyard match. Best thing to happen during the pandemic.
