9 Live Observations From WWE WrestleMania 38 Night 2
4. Edge Vs. AJ Styles
Both Edge and AJ Styles have experienced the dreaded feeling of a major WrestleMania match not really capturing the imagination of a massive audience. Both men, more than once, have known that they’re in something that could have been better in another building, or on another night, sludging through a solidly worked but unspectacular outing on WWE’s ‘Grandest Stage’.
And it happened again.
To perhaps view this through the prism of WWE fans only really invested in big visuals or the odd half decent false finish, this was "awesome". The pair generated a near fall or two, and Edge's entrance and exit along new ally Damian Priest gave people enough hope to think they'd seen some sort of quiet classic.
They'll know for sure they didn't when they watch it again. Or if - the thing was overly boring and indulgent despite good hold work and a minimising of the sh*thouse theatrics from Edge. One senses with Priest's defection that this all has further to go. Cheer up, goths, and move on to something new, eh?
