I\u2019m excited to see Omega in another major match at the Tokyo Dome and to see what Jericho has to bring in this circumstance. I\u2019m also a little cautious about getting over-enthusiastic. Jericho hasn\u2019t impressed me in the ring recently in WWE, but but hopefully will here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; AJ Styles as the new WWE Champion feels like a dark cloud over wrestling finally lifted. Jinder Mahal has not been good and has not been fun to watch. Even going back to John Cena, Bray Wyatt, and Randy Orton all holding the WWE Championship, no one has seemed at the level of AJ Styles with that title. I sincerely hope this is a long-term move and Styles isn\u2019t being moved into this scene just to make Survivor Series better.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Speaking of Survivor Series, as someone who usually skips most of that Thanksgiving-ish classic, I\u2019m almost sad to see how important WWE is making it feel. That\u2019s wrestling I\u2019ll actually have to watch and not just skim now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Brock Lesnar vs. AJ Styles would have been a dream match three years ago. Now it is happening and I\u2019m trying to work up some excitement. It\u2019s a massive improvement over Jinder Mahal vs. Lesnar. Styles tends to have everyone\u2019s best match with them (even Jinder Mahal\u2019s on Tuesday\u2019s Smackdown). Will Lesnar be motivated at the level he\u2019ll need to be to have an epic with Styles? We know AJ is game to work with anyone, but can Lesnar summon the pre-Suplex City magic?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; How entertaining was James Elsworth vs. Becky Lynch? I could watch Lynch beat up Elsworth all day long.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn\u2019s hot start as an antagonistic duo is getting a little weird with Survivor Series happening just after. The Red vs. Blue feud may be more interesting (or at least have more interesting matches) this year, but it can still get in the way of the rest of the stories WWE is trying to tell.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Here\u2019s hoping any issues Zayn and Owens are running into backstage aren\u2019t going to hurt them on the air. WWE does seem like a hellish apocalypse of a work space sometimes though.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The Shield vs. The New Day seems like the kind of match WWE would book just to bring joy to all of our hearts. I appreciate joy.<\/p><div id=\"prowr-1109192796\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>&#8211; Jay White challenging Hiroshi Tanahashi for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship is another big surprise and another delight. NJPW seems to be using the Tokyo Dome to take risks under the Naito vs. Okada and Jericho vs. Omega matches. I appreciate the effort here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Cody Rhodes getting Kota Ibushi as an opponent at the Tokyo Dome is pretty awesome. I hope this is better than past ROH Championship matches have been at this show. Up until last year, they seemed like throwaways. Even with the title change from Kyle O\u2019Reilly to Adam Cole, the match only went 10 minutes last year. I\u2019d love to see Ibushi and Cody get a chance to tell a great story.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Asuka\u2019s first month on WWE\u2019s main roster is another place where I\u2019m finding Survivor Series to be inconvenient. I\u2019d love for her to be emphasized as more than a part of the red team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We recently passed the one year anniversary of WWE having women main event a pay-per-view for the first and, thus far, only time. While Charlotte and Sasha Banks did great work that night, remember how much work there is to be done.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If it took losing the tag titles to get The Shield vs. The New Day, I thank Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins for their sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Braun Strowman, the trash terminator, is still exceptionally entertaining. It\u2019s been about a year since he started being truly great and his trajectory has been awesome all year long.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; NJPW running in Long Beach again and running a 5,000 person venue will be neat. Hopefully fans turn out for their show like they did this past year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I think I like the new Erick Rowan and Luke Harper.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I am in no way surprised that Total Global Non Stop Impact Force Action Wrestling ran a very bad pay-per-view. I am surprised and appalled at them having a wrestler use a real life domestic violence situation concerning them in a storyline. This company and Alberto Del Rio\/El Patron deserve each other.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Survivor Series still feels a little pointless with the Raw vs. Smackdown thing. WWE is doing a great job of making this show worth seeing, but Raw and Smackdown pride aren\u2019t compelling reasons for anything. Hopefully the show delivers on the hype.<\/p><div id=\"prowr-4281173657\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What I absolutely positively love in wrestling this week:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Instead of one item, I have more of a category this week. I love those moments that still surprise us, and do so in a good way. Wrestling is an increasingly predictable medium and it\u2019s hard to get viewers to react. Today, I am in love with moments like AJ Styles winning the WWE Championship clean in the middle of the ring and Chris Jericho popping up in NJPW. It\u2019s those moments that make you do a second take and refresh Twitter to see the excited reactions of other. They\u2019re great.<\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy getting a little bit of what I love in wresting each week, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCfMU6sUZAYG8YeYzoOgEQrQ\">my new YouTube series called \u201cWhat I Love About Professional Wrestling!\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>What I absolutely positively love in the world this week:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Marvel\u2019s Thor: Ragnarok<\/b> &#8211; The Thor movies have traditionally been the least interesting corner of Marvel\u2019s sprawling film universe.
