AJ Styles and Finn Bálor could work scorchers with their eyes shut.

Survivor Series was the latest example of how well these guys gel together, and it was even better that they didn't go out there trying to have some sprinty-spotfest. Instead, the pair told a story and even slowed things right down during Bálor's heel heat sections. That was a top decision.

Now, WWE's writers have to make a "top decision" of their own by moving both The OC and Judgment Day onto other things. OK, so they can squeeze one more blowoff eight-person tag out of the thing, but interest will only fade if these gangs keep fighting for pretty much nothing.

This fan can see AJ working with Austin Theory for the US belt, or something. Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley should move into a feud with Bianca Belair, Finn can continue having banger matches, and Dominik Mysterio has to tie things up with his daddy before/at 'Mania.
