WWE Backlash 2016: 22 Best Internet Reactions To AJ Styles' Win
12. Heath Slater Has A Job!
To some extent, it's a shame that we don't get to see Heath Slater angling for a contract for a little longer. It was immensely entertaining and it made a guy who was a fan favourite way back into an over as hell underdog.
Hopefully they'll book him right and keep his fire burning even with the belt on him. Unfortunately, the fact that he's having to cow to Vince McMahon's comedic sensibilities (poop jokes! Trailer trash slurs!), it shouldn't really fill anyone with confidence.
Still, seeing him gain relevance in any way and be rewarded for being one of the more entertaining stories at the minute was definitely no bad thing. And neither is hearing the crowd legitimately cheer for him.
It could have been a lot different, and it probably would have been in years gone by...
