Alex’s Assumptions:

I have been waiting for this show all week. When I do, usually I feel like it is a let down at the end. However, that is not the case tonight. While there were some things that I didn’t like, the TNA World Title Match being in the middle of the show and Kaz, Roode, and Daniels interfering in the main event, I felt like the show had a true “big feel” to it. The opening video was excellent. It switched to an opening segment with Ray and then Hulk (who still gets one of the loudest reactions in the company). Every single match tonight was excellent! I still hope we see more of AJ vs. Aries (hopefully in a long feud). Magnus has proven that he is “the future”. I see him being champion sometime next year (maybe Slammiversary). The Aces & 8s story continues as we see the group behind Bully. Ray takes Ken out, for what it looks like to be awhile. I talked with someone and this may have to be because of his contract coming up soon. I’m sure something will come out if it is. No more Tito and Rampage, even though I felt like they had potential. Lastly, AJ Styles wins, which is predictable, but it is so right. I called him winning since April. I heard so many names flop around from Roode, Magnus, Aries, Anderson, and more, but I knew, at the end of the day, it was going to be AJ Styles. I’m very glad it is. AJ looks to take on the “truth” and “honest” character. It’s realistic and it will certainly turn heads. We are now on the road to Bound for Glory as it is little more than one month away! Like my Facebook page for his full wrestling thoughts.
