Page 3 - WWE RAW: 2 Superstars who flopped and 4 who impressed - Superstar stunned by psychological tricks, huge impact of The Fiend's interference (November 23, 2020)

#2 Impressed on WWE RAW: AJ Styles

In the main event of WWE RAW this week, AJ Styles and Randy Orton clashed in an interesting match. Their battle inside the ring was great as both Superstars capitalized on their strengths. Styles tried to use pace to gain dominance while Orton took his time like he was stalking his prey. However, the distractions from ‘The Fiend’ Bay Wyatt proved to be a huge disadvantage for Orton.

The Fiend made sporadic appearances that would distract Orton. In addition to that, Styles got help from his subordinate, who helped him in crucial stages. Ultimately, the match ended with Styles delivered a perfect Phenomenal Forearm to a distracted Orton in order to steal his victory on WWE RAW. The performance from AJ Styles was commendable, and the story-telling in this match was quite gripping.

After leading WWE RAW to a clean sweep victory in the traditional five-on-five match, AJ Styles deserves an opportunity to challenge for the top title on the brand. As for Orton and The Fiend, they share an interesting history and deserve a good storyline to make the best use of both Superstars’ time on WWE RAW.
