No Mercy 2016: Hope and Reality

Smell the wrestling

AJ Styles(c) vs. Dean Ambrose vs. John Cena: WWE World Championship

Ad
AJ Styles, highly amused

Hope

I am in full AJ Styles-loving mode, and I’m actually really into Old Man John’s goal-oriented return. But forget all that, I want Ambrose to steal this and prove he’s a legit thorn in everybody’s side.

His first run with the belt was underwhelming, especially for a guy whose basket I put the majority of my eggs in to. Taking the belt back from two of the biggest names on the planet would not only get his credibility swole again, it would keep more than two people at the top of the card.

I’m not interested in AJ/Cena becoming the new Orton/Cena, but I’d be totally cool with these three smashing heads for months to come. Dean gets it, but to do so he will have to pull out his best performance since his Shield days.

Reality

AJ keeps it, because that’s safe. They’re gonna AT LEAST have Cena tie Flair’s record at some point, but I would assume at a bigger show than No Mercy (said in a seductive French accent).

And WWE’s predilection for losing faith in a wrestler the moment they don’t sell 400 million merch units spells doom for Ambrose. He very well may be headed backwards to feud with Curt “Fork The Facts” Hawkins.
