1) AJ Styles Doesn’t “Deserve It”, He Has “EARNED IT”
This weeks episode of Smackdown Live kicked off with WWE Champion AJ Styles. This, of course, comes after he retained his Title at Fastlane. The crowd chanted “You deserve it” at him.
Styles has said in the past that he dislikes the “You deserve it” chant. Instead, he prefers for people to say that he has earned it. He said this again on Smackdown Live this week.
You deserve it!
“Hold up. I earned it.” – Truer words never been spoken by AJ Styles.
Lots of years. Lots of road. #WWE #SDLive

2) The Build To The Dream Match Has Officially Begun
Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles went face to face on Smackdown Live this week. This is a (WWE) dream match for a lot of fans and should be a lot of fun. Their previous match at Wrestle Kingdom was really, really good.
I couldn’t have been the only one who was hyped up when they went face to face. Can’t wait for this match.

3) Rusev Is SOOOOO Over
Rusev ended up facing off against AJ Styles in the first match on Smackdown Live. If you didn’t think Rusev was over big with the crowd before, the response that he received in the match with Styles probably swayed you.
There were dueling “AJ Styles” and “Rusev Day” chants. Anytime you can match the crowd response of AJ Styles, you know that you are OVER:
Rusev over as hell! #wwe #SDLive

4) I Want A Big E Singles Run
Big E has really been showcasing himself on the mic over the past few weeks, cutting some great serious promos. He continues to knock it out of the park.
I want a Big E singles run in the future. I think that he has a ton of potential to be on the top of the card after he splits from the New Day.
I ain’t mad at a Big E singles push. #SDLive
