Only good thing about that era was Aj styles being cemented as a main eventer , im not saying his title reign was perfect but it was good for what it was , i seriously hope wwe will give him one last title reign cause they done my man SO DIRTY for the past 4 years (smh 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑)

At least Strowman won the title but past his best work. Joe! Yeah, and they made him work commentary before winning a world title.

This era of WWE killed my love for wrestling, I used to watch every segment on their KZbin channel as that was my only way of watching at the time, but from 2017-19 I found myself becoming less and less interested because the product was so terrible, I was barely watching the shows, I refused to watch PPV’s apart from the big 4, the main thing keeping me from cancelling my WWE Network subscription was NXT because they were constantly on fire, but eventually even that couldn’t stop me from cancelling, I started to find it pointless to invest in the NXT talent because I knew Vince and his team would drop the ball with them like they did with previous call ups. My passion for wrestling was so shot to pieces that even the start up of AEW couldn’t win me over, I just had to abstain from wrestling all together for some sanity, I came back after 5 years because I saw some very interesting things happen, Vince is gone, CM Punk came back, WM40 and the overall feel felt better.
