I want AJ and Finn to be beating each other senseless, with neither being able to put the other away, and at some point when it gets especially violent, Gallows and Anderson run down to pull them apart and there is a staredown, but then, too sweets all around🤘

"Daddy, what is that pale British man doing to Spinelli from Recess?" I will have you know that I got a right decent tan for this time of the year.   By "right decent" I mean I was in the sun for 15 minutes at some point during the Summer.   15 minutes of sun in Britain? I say poppycock.

I hated that TLC was nothing but last minuted booked matches, but Kurt Angle and AJ Styles!! I'm all in to watch TLC now.

This is still so odd? Like, Kurt Angle? Really? All to save a throw away PPV like TLC that had a dumpster fire of a card anyway!
Really think if WWE was going to use Kurt, which they said they wouldn't do, that you should have saved it for one of the big 4 (Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam).
Just seems like a real odd knee jerk reaction to a show that's not important. How many times has WWE promised something big and then the surprise ended up being Mark Henry....probably should have just went with that.

People will want to see this "in-between" PPV live and on the network, and the aftermath of it Monday.

If more stars get sick they might finally ask DB to lace up dem boots! They’ll have Punk back wrestling before they let Bryan wrestle lol.

I do think throwing AJ in at the last second to face Bálor without any build is a mistake. That's a match that can headline Mania and you throw it on a nothing B/C show. Those two shouldn't even touch until there's a story in place. I understand it was a knee-jerk reaction to replace Bray, but it's not like anyone was hyped for that match anyways, I sure wasn't.
Hell, you could have thrown anyone in there to face Bálor. It would have been a good opportunity to advance Neville to the main roster of he didn't walk out.
But I'm not gonna lie, AJ vs Finn is exciting, just wish the first encounter was on different circumstances.

I don't keep up with NXT.... but could there have been an opportunity to bring someone up as a new shield member? Could be a solid way to help build someone fairly quickly.
I honestly don't think Reigns popped on another test.... They would've just written him off at TLC of that was the case. They had to have been desperate for angle to have stepped in. Maybe we'll see Lesnar as well?

Eh. Well. We have Randy Parton vs. Nakamura. Eh. WWE gives away some big matches. It's not the end of the world.

I really hope I'm wrong when I say this, but this to me seems like the WWE just never thought Kurt Angle returning to the ring was as big of a deal as it was to the rest of us. If it was, there's no way they would waste it in a throwaway match on a throwaway PPV like this. After everything we read and heard from Triple H and Kurt himself about how the company wanted to take it easy with Kurt and that they had zero plans about him ever wrestling again, it just seems like this really was a total last-minute decision out of pure desperation. You could tell Kurt was dying to get back into the ring, so he obviously wasn't going to turn down the opportunity, but I think if he had it his way this definitely wouldn't have been the way he would've wanted to do a return match. It really sucks to me. I'm an old-school fan in the sense that I'm a big believer of storylines, promos and an actual build leading into a big match, so I really was not nearly as excited by this news as apparently most of this board is. I just think Kurt's return deserved a lot better treatment than this. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if they even make him eat the pin in this match.
And for the record - call it a conspiracy theory - I still don't believe Roman has the mumps or whatever the hell they're claiming.

Gives me hope of a Team Kurt vs Team Shane match at Survivor Series.

How on earth did Kurt get cleared though over Daniel Bryan? Lol

If I was Daniel Bryan, I'd be furious that an even more damaged physically Kurt Angle is allowed to wrestle and hes not.

Kinda like a curtain call moment. 0 chance in heeeell it'd happen but a fantasy booking moment for sure.
