I just want him to Wrestle damnit. Don't care for this Orton gimmick. Don't care about him with his loser friends the O.G.
Send him back to Smackdown to be "THE FACE THAT RUNS THE PLACE" again. Blue looks so much better on him.
Raw AJ Styles absolutely sucks.

The fact that they held out this long for a Styles-Orton program to end up with Styles as the big heel with babyface Orton trying to get beat back on him by faking an injury really brings a lot into question even by WWE standards.

I can't like this post more than once, but yes, hell yes. Orton just kills things and AJ needs to get away from this guy. Give me matches on Smackdown with Sheamus, Morrison, Bryan, Roman, Braun, Nakamura, Zayn, Cesaro, etc... He belongs on the WRESTLING show, not Monday Night Crap. |

Which is interesting because by and large Raw’s been more wrestling-focused since the draft. |

Orton and Styles should have been the WWE title match at Mania 33, where Styles countering the RKO Outta Nowhere could have made for a great Wrestlemania moment as they like to say so much, in lieu of videos of cockroaches being played in the ring.
Instead, the match happens two years later after Styles has exited his prime and started getting slower, and it's overshadowed by taking place during dusk and the arena lighting ends up blinding a good portion of the audience.
They took a money match and didn't make any money with it.

I dunno, AJ on Smackdown got REALLY goddamn boring near the end. Maybe it'd be better with him as heel, but still.

Gallows and Anderson aren't doing it for me. I initially wanted Styles back with them cause I thought they were good together back in 2016... but this time round, it absolutely sucks.
They've been complete flops since coming to WWE. Up there with Sin Cara, Kharma, KENTA and the rest of them. The difference is, all of these people were amazing in the ring. It was just unfortunate booking and circumstances that caused them to fail.
I mean shit... remember the hype around these guys in 2016? "Bullet Club is here! New boom period! It's happening!" etc.
I was expecting the new Hall and Nash... instead I get two boring bald jobbers with zero charisma and bang average matches.
The only time Luke Gallows was ever entertaining was when he was Festus.

Styles would be better off tagging with The Singh Brothers right now than being associated such a lame wrestlers.  |

I think it's kind of a mix of AJ is now significantly worse in the ring than he was the last time he was a heel, Raw basically no longer knows how to book a main event scene because they haven't bothered actually doing so in about three years (even when Roman and Seth had the belt, they both soon enough wound up in shitty tag feuds that went on too long) so everyone on it feels utterly irrelevant, and Gallows and Anderson just absolutely suck and take away from AJ much more than they add.
Also the whole OC shtick is lame and not even in an endearing way. The Club at least sounded semi-natural, if overly generic, but the OC name just makes your mind snap to the show and the, "The only club that matters," tagline just reeks of desperation, especially given it's not like the actual Bullet Club really means much of anything in 2020 anyway. Hell coming out of WK the only thing really worth mentioning they did involved a guy who lost both his matches.
