WWF Title - Roman Reigns (c) vs. AJ Styles: Some great spots, some legit drama…I don't want to give credit to a believable false finish when in fact it's a ridiculous superhero kickout, so I won't. But the match still had me interested. Unfortunately the booking was incredibly stupid, from the not-remotely-believable interruptions to the SuperCena ending. Still, I would say that it was good enough to warrant like 4.5 stars from Meltzer, and three stars from me.
Rating: ***
I can't imagine Metlzer giving this match 4.5 stars. I know he tends to overrate main events. But this match was clearly worse than the Zayn/Owens match and was only used to build to the rematch and to further the Shane/Steph angle.
I'd say it's better than one would think. But I think most people know that Roman is actually capable of having really good matches (more capable than Ambrose, for example), though he needs a good opponent to do so.
I would actually rate it higher than 3. Probably around 3.5.
