The show promised much, but just became a forgettable episode soon

We commend WWE for their hot start, in which John Cena faced off against AJ Styles and teased one of the biggest matches in SmackDown Live history, at the top of the show. Well, wishes don’t always come true, especially for the WWE Universe and this match never even got underway.
In doing this angle, AJ Styles brought back the US Open Challenge, made famous by John Cena and this should make the weekly television show very exciting. Let’s be honest...as exciting as Cena's US Open Challenge matches were, he is not the caliber of wrestler that AJ Styles is right now. Having Styles wrestle a different competitor every single week should be a treat for the more hardcore fans.
