Oh, and having just watched Impact, I have to say you were somewhat right and somewhat wrong.
It was a really dumb thing, but I don't think it was that horrible. Like, I was expecting (hoping?) for some russo-esque completely outrageous and over the top thing. Instead we got.... this. It's just REALLY lame, but not completely ridiculous enough to be worth losing your mind over. I think the crowd reaction of "who the **** cares" was pretty appropriate.
My guess is that they had other plans, and at the last minute someone freaked out that they were going to ruin their #1 face of the company (AJ Styles) in a way that could never be redeemed, so they just pulled the plug on the whole thing. I'm expecting (hoping again?) that this entire angle will be done and over with and never mentioned ever again within a month.
