How much higher a profile would AJ have if he had defeated Lesnar at Mania? Aside from not having the Universal Title, is his profile low? He's main evented most (all?) the Raws since Rollins lost and then recaptured the Universal Title. He's part of the main heel tandem in WWE. He's not Cesaro or a Shane McMahon lackey. Sure he loses (but does he? Most of his losses come because he's DQ'd). He went over Richochet in all but one match (something McIntyre cannot say as he's lost to Alexander and Richochet now). He's up there in age. WWE seemingly learned from the Cena experience that they need to focus on youth. That's why IMO the three better/best WWE wrestlers at the moment (in terms of popularity, work rate, and name recognition, that would be Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, and Randy Orton/Miz (arguably)) Very few people right now outside of active watchers know who Seth and Roman are) are helping to establish younger guys. Yet, they are the ones with the main storylines. |

Yet, they are the ones with the main storylines. I was just thinking out loud, not a real criticism of his current position per se. Wondering how things would be if Styles were the one to win the Rumble and defeat Brock, to build off the one-off they had at Survivor Series 2017, where their rematch was prevented by Bryan winning the title. It would have moved Styles to Raw without the Shakeup, and freed up Seth for what should have been a proper Shield send off in front of a hugely supportive crowd at the biggest show of the year. |

Happy we now get to see Rollins and Ziggler in a match again.

WWE did that way before TNA was even thought of. What WWE match had all the titles on the line split between two people? Edit: I looked it up. The only WWE tandem I can find that had a shot at this was the 2 Man Power Trip but Triple H got injured before he and Austin could come to blows. At that point Triple H was IC and Tag, and Austin was World and Tag. I see no other instance where WWE/WWF had the tag team champions face off for the US and World Title together. I did see Bossman and Shamrock sort of replicatedthis by holding the Harcore and IC titles with the Tag Titles. Now, Cena did win the Raw Tag Titles with HBK while Cena was champion. And, they did square off, but HBK was not holding any other title. The only time I saw this in wrestling was Samoa Joe v. Kurt Angle in a winner take all match. HBK and Diesel did this in the mid 90s. |
