Bobby Roode vs. Austin Aries for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
A TNA and internet fan’s dream comes true. Austin Aries has risen faster to superstardom quicker than any other guy in that company. Bobby Roode has had such a long and successful championship reign, but should it end tonight? Roode has a great ability to get the best out of his opponents, but Aries is already going to be on his level. The technical wrestling between the two will be fantastic, and the extra offense will be perfect. I really expect both guys to be on their A game. Aries will get more overall out of Roode than guys like RVD, Anderson, Storm, Sting, and others did. There is a difference between guys like Aries and the veterans I mentioned. Aries will take chances and risks, while the others usually stick to what got them to that point. Aries SHOULD control most of the match, but I expect him to get beaten down for a good part of the match. The fans want Aries to win because he relinquished his X Division Championship. I expect a new World Heavyweight Champion. This is the beginning of X Division champions being a Money in the Bank winner. If he loses, what was the point of him dropping his title? He needs to win this match to solidify himself. Roode has cruised through everyone else on the roster. I want stability at the top of the card, and I feel like this is just the first of many matches between the two. Roode’s success will not be forgotten due to its length and credibility against his opponents. It is just time for a change, and Aries is that change.
Winner: Austin Aries
