This first of four conversations from Chair Shot Reality this weekend talks about the heel turn of AJ Styles and how him vs John Cena gets booked this summer.
Josh Isenberg:
AJ Styles not just attacking Cena and leaving, but comes back an attacks him, leaves, comes back again. I think it was planned out perfectly. These are heel tactics to get someone over on John Cena. I had a slight inclination this might happen when you had both of these guys because their story doesn’t need to be respect versus respect. John can pull the I’ve been the big guy in the big pond and you’ve been in a much smaller pond.
Justin LaBar:
The Green Bay crowd made that heel turn that much better because they showed so much love to seeing the two of them standing in the ring just moments before the turn happened. Bottom line, it’s a great story. When you step out of the 8-11pm booking and bring in the Internet and fans everywhere, what better opponent for The Club than John Cena. They’ve dominated everywhere else and Cena’s the guy in WWE. This could be what SummerSlam is built around. Cena versus Styles isn’t quite Hogan versus Flair level but John Cena has been the guy for years in WWE and Styles has been the guy everywhere else but WWE.
