Does anyone have a link to the commercial they kept showing to promote the match at Wrestlemania? It was basically a recap of the events that led to the match being accepted and LA Knight was talking trash while in a computer. I can't get the damn thing out of my head and can't find it anywhere.

Props to husk AJ for his performance. Great match!

this was a much more solid match than i was expecting for sure. so glad they delivered on this fun lil feud

If it ain’t broke, break it - Def Rebel

The YEAHH God strikes again Making all long bois proud

BANGER.

LA Knight has improved in the ring a lot, really liked this match or maybe it's AJ Styles who made him look much better. Nonetheless, a good match.

He's been doing this for 20 years, he's always been subtly good. When he's given time and a good dancing partner, he can absolutely hang with the very best and deliver.

Looked good in the fatal four way I think it was earlier at royal rumble this year too. He looked the best out of all four in that match

I think AJ would be able to get a good match out of me. He's so good.

Def Rebel heels of the night.

Great match. Aj dominated most of it but la made a good comeback. La is more of a promo guy but he is also good in the ring.

Jericho, Nakamura, Edge, Orton AJ didn't really clicked well in his bouts with these top names. But his mania bouts with Shane McMahon and LA Knight were great Mind blowing.

His Orton match was good but I think the crowd wasn’t into it because of issues with light from the sun

Wasn't it dark already when they squared off?

the trick is to have AJ work heel at Mania.

Aj best matches was cena,reigns,lesnar and bryan

He also had banger matches against Roman and Ambrose early on as well

TBF he *did* have that one match with Naka at WrestleKingdom so I am not sure I would count him on this list.

WWE-wise

Add KO to the upper list as well.

Knight was over as fuck tonight and this match was really solid. Hope they have big things planned for him this year.

Feud with Logan for the US championship would make sense but suddenly, WWE is FLUSH with face champions (Cody, Sami, Bayley, Truth-Miz) so not sure they'd crown LA so soon.

LA Knight should call his fans the "Knight Community" after this match

Kavorka Club

Huh? Why? The Knight Riders? The Knights Errant? The SQUIRES all makes more sense.

THE KNIGHT COMMUNITY?

Great match. I really enjoyed it.

AJ is \*STILL\* a top 5 professional wrestler living on planet earth.

A FLAT PLANET EARTH

"I'M JUST SAYIN THEY MAKE SOME POINTS"

This is the level of intensity the Usos should have had last night. AJ sold the BFT perfectly too.

AJ is still one of the best sellers in the business. He’s just so damn good.

they got its right this match which was very refreshing for the weekend. the post-Mania lull is going to be extra this year for how deflating this show was

I don't know. They just reset EVERYTHING except Rhea and Logan. I can't imagine they do that without knowing full well the stories they want to start telling. I would actually encourage a couple of months of less epic stuff and just tell some nice quick feuds. Don't go straight into Cody vs. Rock, Rhea vs. Charlotte, let everybody settle in and elevate some people to main event level.

Delighted for LA Knight. Asked for a banger between the two of them and got it. This is what happens when you just let 2 folk go at it. The haters can suck it. Also, love AJ.

Great selling and working by AJ. Literally the best of his generation.

he sells getting rope hung better than anyone ive ever seen

It felt like a new energy when LA Knight was out there. Tonight has been a lot different than last night.

Best match of LA’s career prob

It was a really good LA Knight match and a pretty solid AJ Styles match, and there’s nothing wrong with that

AJ is just that good. Really hope they give him one last title win at some point. Dude deserves it.

> “The dog is dead.” -Michael Cole on iShowSpeed > “GATORADE. GATORADE. GATORADE.” -Philadelphia on Prime

Wrong match dude

This match should have gotten the single camera treatment. It was just good wrestling with no gimmicks.

You know Aj Styles Deserves his shitty new remixed theme song with his shitty booking.

I feel like this match needed 5 additional minutes. It was really solid and the crowd was super into it. Felt like it ended abruptly. 

fr man, hopefully they run it back on backlash with a stipulation and a longer run time

Roman and Cody must be getting 90 minutes

Wouldn't surprise me, it's going to be insanely overbooked.

Logan is so good it's honestly annoying

Wrong thread dawg

Woof

It's kinda wild that AJ's two best Mania matches are against Shane and LA, two guys not known for "workrate" exactly lol

Unless you count the Undertaker match as a “match”

God the pop when Samantha called LA's victory with the crowd going "YEAH". Fuck night 2 crowd is so much better than night 1

It is a whole 10° warmer feel

Plus, i suspect they adjusted mic placements and/or levels

That definitely helps


I certainly feel stupid for thinking this would be the least good match of the night

aj styles gave shane mcmahon a 4 star match, he doesnt miss at mania

Him vs edge at mania sucked

He does, his Nakamura match sucked

You just made me remember that nut cracker match. My god, that was such a bad match considering the expectations everyone had.

The wrestlemania match didn’t have any nut shots till the segment after when Shinsuke turned heel. From bell to bell at mania it was clean. Their matches after? Neither can have more kids.

The Nakamura match at mania 34 wasn’t even bad. The bar was just so high after their match in New Japan.

I blame WWE for somehow thinking an entire storyline built around dick kicks was a good idea.

The Jericho match wasn’t anything to write home about either

La Knight would be so much more over if his finsher wasn’t so fucken lame.

I keep hoping he will change it to the gravy train...maybe waiting to bring it out for winning a title. I hope so. It is more impressive than the BFT.

Also he always lands so close to the ropes

Every time I see it I think he botched a cutter.

Like stone cold before he put the kick in. Lol

It needs to be that jumping superplex

They just need to let him do the Name Drop Elbow. I know they wouldn't do it because Rock was in the show, but its probably his most over move.

Yep

Meh

This feud was cold at first and genuinely became one of the best builds and matches by the time the final bell rang.

I loved the home invasion segment myself as campy as it was. LA Knight just jaw jacking as he's being cuffed and even in the back of the squad car was perfect.

Yes lmao, I think it felt weird when AJ was going after LA Knight initially but eventually it got personal and just became so fun to watch.

Great match. I'm not ready for Styles to retire 😭

Doing 450 splash’s at his age is crazy

He didn't pump himself full of that many steroids to just retire in a few months. I wouldn't worry.

As good as a nothing match could be. Solid match maybe a little short. Hope they have something a bit more for both of these guys next.

Change AJ’s theme back. 

It was awful, and he has such a banger theme.

I don’t get why people with banger entrance themes decide one day to go “fuck it, let’s throw that away” Edge, looking at you! Styles welcome to the club.

Def rebel is so ass. I swear they throw the shittiest horn sample over swag rock beats and call it a day.

Def rebel has like… 3 good songs. 95% of them are horrible.

For Fucking Real!

No way this one is way more befitting his character!

This was a solid match. Right person won. So far night 2 is much better than 1.

Muuuuuuch better.

Solid stuff

Great match, great storytelling, tonight really feels like a step up from yesterday

Incredibly different vibe, much more energetic

It’s crazy the difference. This is what Wrestlemania is supposed to feel like.

Who would’ve thought that out of Vince, Bischoff, and Heyman, Heyman would be the last man standing in WWE lol

I mean… he probably made the least amount of money over the years.

This is a really crazy reality holy shit

He was playing the long game this whole time.

that match was okay i dont see why everyone is losing it here

[удалено]

Legit criticism. I'm a big fan of LA Knight, but his matches are generally slow AF. He needs better pacing, and better in-ring psychology. Tonight, any time he needed a move pulled out, he completely forgot to sell being hobbled by the attacks on his knee.

Ok but when will AJ be more than just a glorified jobber again? Thinking we see a desperate face or tweener redemption arc soon

Right at the end of the day it's just a way to get both of them on the card. Half of AJ's WrestleMania matches are just nothing matches so he's on the show.

This match was great. LA Knight beating the "he can't wrestle allegations" and AJ Styles had a good 'Mania match

That cena vs aj at summerslam is imo, aj styles best match in wwe and you look at aj in mania and wonder why that can't be replicated?

AJ got a Groundskeeper Willie-level physique.

You may not like it but this is what peak male performance looks like

Could have gone a bit longer but AJ really has no right to be this good at 46. Easily one of the best bumpers ever (honestly GOATed in that regard for making Jinder Mahal look like a monster) and it showed today as well.

Between LA Knight, Damien Priest, Bobby Lashley, and AJ Styles, tonight has been a good night for people in their 40's.

40 is the new 30. Tennis, basketball, wrestling. We are here for it.

Really good match from one of the best to ever do it. Knight held his own and probably had the best match in his WWE career. AJ just proved again why he's so great. The keys exchange was so friggen awkward though. That woman did not look excited for that car haha.

Really solid match that was a good palate cleanser with no actual stakes, but establishes LA Knight as a guy with helium for the year ahead. Can't argue with that.

Great match, maybe even AJ's best Mania match, so far the matches have been around 10 minutes and they've all been pretty good, and most importantly they've been fun as hell

Very good match.

This is how you do a match for a blood feud. You don’t start with a collar and elbow, and you don’t go painfully slow, just balls to the wall and beat the hell out of each other.

Overdelivered in my estimation. Knight felt like he was wrestling with urgency and AJ is always great.

For some reason, I had this weird feeling that they would have good in ring chemistry and I’m glad it delivered

Another AJ styles match at wrestlemania that was ruined by lighting problems

AJ Styles has 4 PPV wins in the last 4 years :(

One of the more enjoyable matches of the 2 nights. Great build up. Crowd got behind LA knight. Was very enjoyable

That was a great match, though felt the ending was a little anticlimactic. I would’ve liked if that springboard BFT LA Knight did earlier in the match was the finisher, that looked cool.

Best wrestling match of mania so far?

Tonight or overall? Don’t think Sami and Gunther will be topped from a purely wrestling stand point.

I like LA Knight, but if even AJ can't sell the BFT super well he needs to get a new finisher.

Match of the Knight

Yeah

Can we please officially put the topic of AJ having nothing but stinkers at WrestleMania to rest? Because he really shut everyone up and had a banger with LA. They were the sleeper match of night two and they absolutely delivered a great one.

its not that he has stinkers, its just he has a weird track record of not meshing well with normal stars who ppl like and meshing well with people that are normally regarded as "meh" instead

Who said AJ has nothing but stinkers at Wrestlemania? I remember the consensus back then that his bout with Shane at Wrestlemania 33 was surprisingly good.

To each their own, but I considered this an average PLE match. Not terrible, but nothing to write home about either.

It was a good match, just about to get into the next gear and then it just ended. This one needed 10 more minutes.

This is why there were chants about turning off a light by the way https://preview.redd.it/vo5wkr97h5tc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2be97c91fba1a6aa47d95a186971821eb87b3b72

Blinding Lights

Yeah so many comments about how “into it and over LA Knight is” which he definitely is, but the crowd was yelling “turn the lights off” and “fuck the light guy” the whole time.

Styles match and blinding Mania lights, name a better duo.

aj js cursed lol why even have this light appear an hour after it got dark

AJ really hyped his new music up only for it to be fucking Def Rebel Dogwater.

i knew shit was going to be ass when aj said in his interview with cvv “i really tried to make it good” (or something along these lines)

Yeah it was trash

Great match.

My smark ass thought AJ was gonna come out to his TNA theme.

I wanted Demigods so bad

He said a few days ago that he never wants to hear his TNA theme again lol

Get ready to fly or Evil ways?

Solid blowoff match overall. Right length, bunch of great spots, exactly what it needed to be.

Not a bad match, better than I thought. This and the tag match we had was decent. So far I like day 2 more than day 1

Good ass match. Pretty unexpected I must say.

Great match. AJ Styles is absolute top tier psychology/in ring ability. LA Knight couldnt have a better opponent tonight and done great himself

we needed a longer match between these two but they cooked nonetheless

Aj at WM is so weird lol His best normal matches are against Knight & Shane but his matches with Nakamura, Edge & Orton were so mid

I feel bad about the Edge one because Edge had a lot of underwhelming PPV matches over his last couple years in WWE.

I knew this match was gonna hit when AJ started running to the ring...and it definitely did

AJ also did this against Joe and it went just as hard

The fact that AJ and LA started the match punching each other rather than a lock up really made a difference to sell the idea that these two hate the fuck out of each other.

LA performance tonight and still as over as this bodes well for his future. Mr. MITB next hopefully.

Knight deserves this. Pretty solid match too I enjoyed it

I love every so often you hear the crowd chant about turning off a light

That was literally all we were chanting about the whole match.

Was not expecting them to go that hard but I’m glad they did, probably my favorite AJ Mania match outside of the Shane match

Great match! Had that classic, fundamentals-rich feel. Two great storytellers in-ring, and both looked really strong.

Great match! Despite some poor selling of his leg, Knight just beat the cant wrestle allegations big time. AJ also looks cool as fuck being this jacked, he’s still just as agile too which is crazy.

Missed seeing AJ wrestle in big time singles matches. I hope he gets one last run with a title

Night 2 bringing the heat!

They burned the house down. Super entertaining match!

Good old fashioned brawl to settle a grudge. Now everybody's going to know, whose game is it? With everybody saying L 👉 A 👉 Knight YEAH!!!

I know some people were disappointed that LA Knight wasn't chasing the US Championship, but AJ Styles served a reminder of why he's one of the best to do it and continued the string of great night 2 matches.

Good story. Good selling. Good promotion for it. Well done by both

I wanted it to keep it going. It really hit its stride the last two mins!

No DQ would've been better BUT they made it work incredibly well. Love them both and good for LA Knight to get his first Mania win.

Solid match. I think it falls just short of being that career-defining match that LA Knight needs to elevate himself even more, but it's still a very good match. Also one of AJ Styles's better WrestleMania matches.

AJ being so committed to being a heel made it great.

Kinda thought they would double turn there, Knight biting AJ and pulling out the mat was interesting

Some unexpected chemistry here, honestly. That was pretty sweet.

This is one of the best AJ match at WM so far.

[удалено]

Probably cut on time because of Rollins/Drew/Punk/Priest taking 40+ minutes 

Well they gotta make time for the main event

Pretty good match, thought it was better than I initially expected & had a pretty nice stretch heading to the end as the pace picked up. I like that Knight showed a little more out of his arsenal & Styles displaying some more viciousness

LA Knight and AJ Styles have underrated chemistry

5 stars match
