With his PPV and TV debut now in the can, and his first feud seemingly still up in the air, (Jericho, Owens, Joe?), gonna start this thread as a timeline of his career in the big league. Let's get upto speed:
At 38 years, he does have a very limited lifespan, and they do get props for realizing he needs to go straight to Raw with no NXT grooming. I liked some parts about his debut, that he entered in the rumble as a 1on1 faceoff with Reigns, and that they let him do a full slow entrance. Did not like the fact that he was quickly overshadowed by the rumble match itself, and that Reigns defending his title from a million dudes was still the main story. If his feud is indeed Owens, would have like Owens to win the IC belt at Rumble, cut a heel promo, then AJ interrupt with his debut and a faceoff/brawl.
Raw was okay, got a backstage promo and win against a respected vet. Would be very disappointed if they go with the Jericho heelturn feud, want to see him in a story with someone in their prime. Was excited when Steph announced the Fastlane main event was triple threat. Reigns v Ambrose v Styles would have been sick. Obviously he would have to lose and goto a feud out of the title picture, but after his reaction at Rumble, why not use that superbuzz and get him some main event rub straight away.
Also would not be mad at Samoa Joe debuting and interrupting a Styles match at next Raw, but hey WWE would never acknowledge their past history, so would be pointless feud right?
Your thoughts so far, and your ideas about how to use him going forward?
