How do you add stakes to a match without a title on the line? I mean you have two seasoned veterans in AJ Styles and Randy Orton but they're in a feud seemingly without anything on the line.

With this angle, which reminded a lot of people of the Mark Henry retirement angle, which was also repeated by Sasha Banks not long after, WWE may have made the feud a lot more interesting. Randy Orton and AJ Styles have fought in the past in a WrestleMania match that was okay at best, and they would want to up the ante this time around.

Now, I'm guessing that AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows will be out for retribution on next week's episode. Randy Orton will have to find two other Superstars to watch his back.

One wonders if he'll be allied to the Viking Raiders or The Street Profits.
