#2. The setup for The Undertaker vs AJ Styles

The Undertaker made a statement...and won a trophy?
The Undertaker made a statement...and won a trophy?

The opening contest of the night was the Gauntlet match to crown the winner of the "prestigious" Tuwaiq Trophy. The commentators emphasized how "prestigious" it was, yet it was a complete afterthought.

Ultimately, what happened was that R-Truth had a good showing, eliminating Bobby Lashley, Andrade, and Erick Rowan before losing to AJ Styles. The Phenomenal One was supposed to face Rey Mysterio at the end, but Gallows & Anderson assaulted the legend.

The duo would soon be struck down as well and it was The Undertaker who took Rey Mysterio's spot, hitting AJ Styles with a single chokeslam and winning the Tuwaiq Trophy. Except, at this point, the trophy didn't matter at all and he hardly took in a glimpse of it.

It was just a prop to build to the Styles-Undertaker WrestleMania match. They could have done it differently and built towards it from RAW rather than use the trophy to set up the match for the show of shows.
