A good match. 75% of a great finnish. Styles gets his win back, is getting over as a face, but Roman's gotta stand tall.

Good ending in the sense that the alignments are still in flux.

This is actually sensible face-versus-face booking and it should probably end in Balor/BC murdering the poo poo out of both of them. Buuuuuuuut this is WWE main event booking so nothing will change, probably.

gotta say roman's workrate and moveset are improving hugely by working with styles but this "nobody is a heel or are they!?" poo poo is bad. make one a heel and get with it, even though literally everything here points to AJ being face and Roman heel, as much as the company doesn't want that to be the thing

AJ has been totally face this whole time. Only using the chair after he was attacked with it.

drat, that was actually good. The whole flow of it made sense and it kept the alignments in question. A good Raw.

Charles Gnarwin posted:I actually think this is one of the better shades of gray storylines in awhile. Every character is acting in a way that actually makes sense and it's actually creating intrigue. I agree, the only downside is that Roman's involvement is hampered by the disconnect between who WWE insists he is and how they book him - everything seems so deliberately arranged to get him booed/make him a heel and yet there's still this seeming insistence from WWE that's he number one face superstar.

That's probably not a position AJ wants to be in, because even Lex Lugar eventually decided Sting was a liability

As dumb as "the guy" language is, Roman is getting better because he's finally allowed to just stick to a character and use that character whether he's getting cheered or booed. And is no longer getting flustered

Yeah, I thought that might have been the best part - AJ tossing aside the chair after the Usos were out of the ring was pretty much the best way he could have said "Why the gently caress did you have to make me do that?" without saying a word.

I'm totally fine with binary heel/face alignments finally dying in the dumpster fire of history if it means they finally figured out how to write individual character motivations that make sense. But it's fuckin' wrestling so who knows.

You forget the following 'Raw will have scrubbed the AJ face actions, showing only the double-team on Roman and chairshots on the Usos.

But it's fuckin' wrestling so who knows. I'm fine with keeping babyface/heel dynamics just because it's such an integral part of wrestling. The problem is they've lost sight of one of the things Foley used to talk about : Heels should have legitimate grievances, they should just handle/respond to them with poor character. e: The other issue is that the WWE babyfaces are typically so hamfisted and bullying that when the heel finally snaps people are 100% sympathizing with them.
