Christian says he was happy to see A.J. Styles emerge victorious in the WWE Championship match at the Royal Rumble, because he thinks Styles deserves to go into WrestleMania as the WWE Champion. Edge understands that logic, but he absolutely hates when one guy beats two guys in a handicap match. He doesn’t think Smackdown’s top two heels should have lost to one guy, even if it was the WWE Champion.
Edge and Christian both enjoyed the Smackdown Tag Team Title match between The Usos and Gable & Benjamin. Edge says that The Usos are on “another level” right now, but he’s very impressed by Gable and Benjamin as well. Christian points out that Gable resembles Kurt Angle in the ring, and although Edge doesn’t like those kind of comparisons, he agrees with Christian in this case.
They both liked the Men’s Royal Rumble match as they thought it was laid out nicely, and every entrant in the Rumble seemed to have a distinct, defined position on WWE programming. Edge also liked Heath Slater’s role in this match, adding that Sheamus’ quick elimination didn’t hurt him at all. He informs that he’d love to see Sheamus or Cesaro challenge Brock Lesnar in a singles match, because he thinks either of those men could have a great match with Lesnar.
