Is AJ Styles a boring champion?

[El Guapo]

I can’t even remember the last good title run someone had. Goes to show how shytty the writing and booking is.

It was probably AJ's first title run as a heel. Or at least that's the last memorable one for me.

 

[MushroomX]

His run had bad matches, bad promos, and peaked before he even won the title.

Plus he got stuck with a LONG Randy Orton feud; that shyt put him on ICE.

Its WWE's fault for putting their main title on the B-show and treating as lesser than the title they just made up a few years ago and not having it main event PPVs.

What WWE should have done during the entire Brock run as Universal Champion is to have had AJ Style and the WWE Championship been booked as the main event of all WWE ppvs and get all of the attention and importance on them.... this would be the thing that would trigger guys like Roman, KO, Braun and Seth on Raw to be upset since Brock's hostage of the Universal Championship is denying them the chance and/or right to be in big time ppv main events which would be the catalyst of Roman's new gimmick of "Brock ain't here to work but I am" which he has done as of late.

Then storyline wise and booking wise you could have guys from Raw wanting to jump ship to Smackdown so they can get a crack at the WWE Championship. They could be having a lot of "Loser Leaves The Brand" matches and interbrand promotional matches and etc. Then you could have guys all gun after the Intercontinental Championship declairing "fukk Brock! This IC Title is the TOP title on Raw and will be honored and defended as such" having the IC Title being the constant main events on Raw bringing importance to that title like during Seth's run with it.

Many things WWE could do to make their championships have more prestige but they don't care.

I think his run has been solid all things considered

From an in ring perspective, yes it’s been very solid but WWE hasn’t made his reign feel all that great.

I dont know man, compared to every one else who has had a world title reign in the past 5 years his seems pretty solid. Feels like hes just a working champ on some Bret Hart shyt

But again Im also understanding hes on Smackdown and not the universal champion so thats probably why I thnk hes doing better than most all things considered

 

[AquaCityBoy]

His last few feuds have had booking.

Shinsuke feud got cartoonishly stupid with all the nut shots, and the Rusev feud was just a filler to lead to Rusev's face turn.

And I cannot believe they picked the worst possible way to book this Joe feud. Let's ignore the twenty+ years of history these two have with each other so we can talk about how AJ's a bad father.

Ain't his run one of WOAT

 

[dh86]

His title run is refreshing, there’s been LESS bullshyt than most other long title runs. It reminds me of Bret Hart ‘fighting champion’ title reign in 92-93.

 

[Versa]

Nah

Solid promos and good matches

 

[WalkGawd]

AJ needs a blood feud. Thought Nakamura would be it but they never pulled the trigger.

 

[mrken12]

It is. Most people only jumped on the bandwagon because everyone wanted him to beat Orton.

 

[Sir Charles Barkley]

Yea he’s boring but all faces in WWE are boring.

 

[Psychosis]

He needs a rival to help carry a long term feud.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

I mean....if they allow him to have that TNA/NJPW charm, instead of a backwoods hick that's happy to be here, it would make a huge difference. Sometimes I forget that AJ even has the belt which is sad
