con: no samoa joe v. aj styles for the wwe championship
When Samoa Joe came over to Smackdown in the most recent Superstar Shakeup, this never before seen match (I’m kidding, I’m kidding) became a very real possibility. It’s amazing that this match hasn’t happened yet (given that Daniel Bryan’s first match on Smackdown since returning to action was against AJ Styles), but given how long WWE waited before having Nakamura v. Styles, it’s also pleasantly surprising.
If Rusev were to beat Styles, then we wouldn’t get the rumored and highly anticipated program between Styles and Joe at Summerslam. Joe and Styles is a money match that is probably being saved for a big occasion, and Summerslam is definitely a big occasion.
If Rusev has to sacrifice himself at the altar so that we can get Joe v. Styles, I guess I’d be alright with that.
Feel free to laugh at me if instead, we get Styles v. R-Truth for the WWE Championship at Summerslam.
