AJ Styles' recent MSG title victory caught the attention of a wrestling world conditioned to expect nothing of significance from WWE house shows, suddenly giving credence to the company's oft-touted but rarely proven "anything can happen" ethos.

Or perhaps it was just a way to add extra garnish to 'The Phenomenal One's upcoming DVD set. But that's the sort of cynicism which suggests they'd name a tournament after someone just because they're set to release a book about her. Come on!

Either way, it's added fresh impetus to the US title clash at Battleground, as if it needed it. If Kevin Owens is on top of his game - and when isn't Styles? - this could be a match of the year candidate. Expect a stellar PPV opener, with Styles holding onto his title ahead of a SummerSlam rematch.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
