To me, the promo just went too long. AJ isn't a horrible promo guy but he really cannot carry a promo for that long.

I agree it was a bit to long. He was stumbling at the beginning also. That was kind of annoying but he was rolling good at the end.

I liked the delivery but the message itself was all over the place. I was really hoping it would lead to AJ saying he anted vengeance, but it was simply just him saying he was gonna be champ again. This could have really gone somewhere.

As far as the quick turn to save themselves in Angle's absence, I had missed the 8/22 Impact and read the results online, and was, needless to say, more than a little shocked that AJ was no longer in the "loner" mentality. While I knew he'd had issues with Angle and, I believe, at least some folks in A&8's (then again, who hasn't?), it caught me completely by surprise.

As far as last week's promo is concerned, AJ's "I know there is one person I can rely upon, and that's me" line was basically word for word what A Double had said, but did anyone else find it strange that he called himself by his real name rather than AJ? Even during the vignettes where the cameras had gone back to his hometown to interview his wife and friends, everyone still called him AJ rather than Allan.

That was a horrible promo. I have never heard him cut a decent interview. He has everything else he needs but the guy just can't string together coherent promos. Not Ultimate Warrior bad, but pretty bad. His come back promo was met with a mix of apathy and a mild pop because he is AJ Styles. He needs a scripted promos

His promo after Fourtune turned face and broke away from Immortal was pretty freaking awesome.
