AT AMWAY CENTER<br \/>\nBy Joey Galizia (@RamJam89), PWTORCH SPECIALIST<\/h3>\n<p><strong><i>\u201cSNAKE IN THE GRASS\u2026 MAGGOTS IN THE MOUTH\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WWE.com and Twitter are indicating that the feud between new WWE Champion Randy Orton and his former \u201cbrother in arms\u201d Bray Wyatt is far from over. After a lackluster Mania match that involved projections of insects, critters, and worms, the Apex Predator and The Eater of Worlds may be looking to clash at least one more time. (Bray may be a madman, but I\u2019m sure even he will invoke a rematch clause.) However, as seen on Sunday the glue for this feud has come undone (it was in the battle royal) and it\u2019s time for both men to aim their talents away from one another. With the duel brand shake-up coming next week this chapter of their lives needs to be closed and dispersed because there is no guarantee that Bray Wyatt will stay on the blue brand.<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>\u201cTHEY WANT ME TO FAIL, BUT I GLOW IN THEIR PRESENCE.\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What a feel good moment for Naomi at WrestleMania. Her injury angle did strike an emotional chord considering how epic her victory over Alexa Bliss was at <i>Elimination Chamber.<\/i> Like a true babyface she surrendered her title and rode off into the sun wondering if she would ever get another opportunity. An opportunity that she had worked and bled nearly 8 years for. Lucky for us her knee healed up just in time to enter the multi-woman match for the division\u2019s top prize, and once again would triumph by forcing that tiny little witch Alexa Bliss to tap out. The match itself was placed in a very odd spot, but good for them for being added to the main show. As for tonight, I would assume that Alexa may also cash-in her rematch clause stipulation (God that thing is such a pain in the ass) because again there is no guarantee that the shake-up won\u2019t severely alter the rosters.<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>\u201cWE THE TAG TEAMS TAKE BACK OUR DOMINANCE\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There must be a chip on the shoulders of SD Live\u2019s Tag Team Division, especially American Alpha and The Usos. With no room on the card in Orlando they were all sentenced to death in the \u201clegendary\u201d Andre The Giant Battle Royal which was won by Mojo Rawley (kill me) and had a Rob Gronkowski cameo. (The Patriots should have to surrender a draft pick and be fined because SHUT UP that\u2019s why.) Now that the show of shows is over Alpha can continue their pursuit of those Superkicking Samoans and start their climb back to the top. Meanwhile with the Revival going to Raw I wonder if the blue brand will receive an NXT Tag call-up.<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>\u201cTHE PHENOMENON IS COMING. HIS STYLE IS STRONG.\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-A.J. Styles is the G.O.A.T. He and Shane delivered an extremely entertaining opening bout for Mania that the right man came out on top of. Now that Styles has effectively pissed off everyone and now punk\u2019d the bosses son, what is next for the Phenomenal one? (Monday Night Raw, that\u2019s what.)<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3620384358\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-John Cena proposed to Nikki Bella after the Cenation crushed Miz &amp; Maryse as if they weren\u2019t even an afterthought. I had no idea that he was even considering proposing! (SARCASM.) Seriously, it came out of nowhere! (It seriously didn\u2019t.) Anyway I\u2019m happy for them both and hope they enjoy their time off. (That part I do mean. &lt;3 )<\/p>\n<p>-The Lone Wolf couldn\u2019t defeat the Lunatic Fringe for the Intercontinental Championship. Corbin\u2019s the type of guy who doesn\u2019t go away after a loss soooooooooooooooooooo rematch?<\/p>\n<p>-Listen, whatever direction SD decides to take tonight I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll be okay with. Since the brand split they have delivered a top-notch wrestling program on a week-to-week basis so even when I\u2019m not surprised by most of their angles tonight I\u2019ll still be happy. The big hope is that they handle their NXT call-ups correctly, specificly Shinsuke Nakamura. I will be very surprised if we don\u2019t see the King of Strong Style make his debut tonight popping the Orlando Crowd one more time after an efficiently wild weekend. SD is the right home for Shinsuke, and if the Gods are good to us. Maybe he and A.J. can have one clash tonight before we lose the Phenomenal One to Monday Nights. FINGERS. EFFING. CROSSED.<\/p>\n<p>205 Live after!
