I wish Daniel Bryan would also fire Randy Orton.
AJ was right to question the motives and logic behind Shane and Daniel and wonder out loud why Randy Orton wasn’t fired for arson. Tom Phillips tried to justify AJ’s termination as “pre-meditated.” I can’t think of anything that’s more pre-meditated than joining the Wyatts, winning the tag belts with them, helping Bray win the WWE Championship, protecting Bray, accepting the keys to Bray’s Kingdom...then burning his house and stuff to the ground.
But AJ was fired for jumping a man who is famous for taking ill-advised beatings. In the parking garage, which is the Second Ring. Being filmed by a company that makes money from assault. Or at least t-shirts promoting assault.
Look, I don’t want either of them fired, but don’t make rules that you don’t follow. If you don’t fire someone for arson, don’t fire someone for assault. Assault is what your company is built on, anyway. Without it, you’re a garbage soap opera. Without arson, you’re, what? Kane-less?
Making rules even more useless, Shane comes out all concussion chic at the end of the show and says “If AJ didn’t have a match at Wrestlemania, he does now!” Prompting Daniel Bryan on Talking Smack to be all “¯\_()_/¯.”
It is not hard to follow the basic rules. Drama class is, so at least Nikki has an excuse.
