There are still four weeks until WrestleMania 36, but in their first two encounters, AJ Styles has been every bit Undertaker’s b*tch.

Styles was chokeslammed into defeat at Super Showdown last month by Taker, who slow-walked down to the ring as a “surprise entrant” in the Tuwaiq Gauntlet Match and never bothered to remove his coat and hat. Then on Sunday, he appeared in the ring to bail Aleister Black out of a 3-on-1 situation against The OC.

While that certainly was a good use of UT, he once again dispatched with AJ in rapid fashion after one chokeslam, leaving him easy pickings for Black. How is any of this supposed to build up an Undertaker/Styles feud? Taker destroying AJ multiple times when UT is the unbeatable phenom and Styles is the weaselly heel just doesn’t work.

But again, they have four weeks to figure something out.
