AJ is a cheating heel who has cheated to win the title and beat Dean & Cena and bragged about how noone cares about how he won, at the end of the day the records will show he's the champ. Dean cheating to have him lose to a jobber and put that on the record books forever is poetic justice

that plus AJ has beaten cena clean already, he already has proven he's the best. Why bother trying your hardest after that when you already know you could still win clean anyway, it's easier to cheat. the only stupid thing about No DQ is why everyone waits til the end to use a chair/weapon. For once Dean should have brought in his bag of weapons.

Cause of glitch:
Pretentiousness
Dean screwing AJ in the match also gives AJ a reason to continue that feud, which he wouldn't really have otherwise as he's already beaten Dean thrice.

Using weapons in a match that isn't weapon-focused, even if they're allowed, isn't honorable. Exceptions can be made, like if you're fighting a blood enemy (Rollins at HITC) but unless your opponent uses a weapon first, using one yourself is a sign of weakness, doubly-so for a babyface. Thats why AJ using one to steal the victory in the Triple Threat is a heel move, it was a mark of cowardice because until that point he was competing evenly and resorting to a chair meant he he was so afraid of losing he was willing to tacitly admit he couldn't beat the other two men, in direct contrast to his explicit boasting that he COULD beat both men.

Using weapons outside a match or in an explicit weapons match is another kettle of fish of course, and Dean is the exact kind of face that can do that basically at will, being the anti-heroic street brawler.

this kind of mentality is why I'd like to see Bray Wyatt go after AJ, since he's just a psycho swampman who doesn't loving care about the dishonor of using legions of goons or exploding tvs or ghosts to destroy others. Putting him in a No-DQ scenario only for Luke Harper to gently caress things up before AJ can do likewise would be nice.

Bray's in a good place and being the person to beat AJ Styles dirty is a great way to undo the years of horrendous booking he's received. Until Cena kills him that is

AJ's heel act is an interesting one, because it seems like he really is positioned as the best wrestler on the roster. He cheats, he takes shortcuts, and he aggrandizes everything he does very obnoxiously, but when push comes to shove and he plays all four metaphorical quarters, he consistently wins clean. He did it with Cena, winning initially by cheating and The Club, but when Cena refused to fold AJ's ego forced him to fight it out to the finish... and shockingly he won. I suspect that the same thing is going to happen with Dean: in the end, although every other time they fought he took a shortcut and cheated, AJ is going to beat him clean in their final confrontation.

If that is the case, losing the title to Bray, who's new direction is to win at all costs, would actually make a lot of sense despite the Heel vs Heel dynamic. He's a perfect foil for AJ, a guy who despite all his protestations of godhood simply isn't good enough to win on his own against elite competition, but can and will do anything to achieve victory regardless.

SD's only other main-event guys that can face AJ right now are Orton and Wyatt. When Cena takes a break and Ambrose gets whipped for the last time, someone has to step up. Why wouldn't you want to build up a good character who has potential for the future? Beating AJ Styles, even dirty, would do something for Bray that even the Cena feud never could: legitimize him. Having Luke, the Good Wyatt, back with him is even better.

Of course it's a huge longshot given the booking Wyatt has had since the beginning but the SD writers are Pretty Good and stranger things happen. poo poo, we're living in a year where Kevin Steen, AJ, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Prince Devitt have become legit Top Men in the WWE.

Imo this is the one thing holding me back from being a Bray mark. I just don't get the psychology. Is he delusional and that's why he still thinks he is more powerful than anybody else in 'rasslin? I was always hoping they would build toward some kind of bs long game so I could believe that he honestly thought he lost because he didn't want to win.

I want Bray to be good. I also want that crab-walk thing to have some deeper meaning than "ooooh spooky".

The difference is, I believe all of those people can be champion. I don't believe Wyatt can ever do more than get a win on occasion and look foolish the rest. They'll send Orton after AJ until Cena comes back for his 16th title.
