Kevin Owens and AJ Styles could trade the title for the next 3 years and they'd all be great matches, but, great matches are no longer a special thing. Every promotion has great wrestlers, every promotion can put on great matches. You don't see one or two great matches a year anymore, like you might if you followed just the WWF years ago, you can see 100+ if you really want to.

AJ Styles as the leader of the Bullet Club was doing far more than wrestling good matches. NJPW took a great wrestler and built things around him. He was entertaining both in the physical, wrestling way as well as the talky talky / storyline way.
The problem with the WWE is that they recognize Styles as a great wrestler, and only give him that. They put no effort into his character whatsoever. They put no effort in getting him over. He gets himself over.
Then you have Jinder Mahal who has never gotten himself over in any capacity in his career, and for some reason he is getting all the effort from the WWE? It makes no sense. The only heat that Jinder will be getting from me is X-Pac heat.
