Veteran predicts shocking result for a major title match at WWE Night of Champions (Exclusive)
WWE Night of Champions is bound to be a memorable event, with multiple title matches scheduled for the show. A new World Heavyweight Champion will also be crowned at the event, and wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell believes it will be AJ Styles who will bring home the newly minted title.
AJ Styles and Seth Rollins will face off in the World Heavyweight Championship tournament final at WWE's upcoming premium live event in Saudi Arabia. Triple H has already mentioned that the title will be exclusive to RAW; hence, if AJ wins it, he'll be drafted to the red brand.
While Seth Rollins is the favorite to win the big gold belt, Dutch Mantell believes that AJ's segment with Grayson Waller clarifies that it will The Phenomenal One who will be standing tall at the end.
"I think this kinda clarifies that he'll be winning it and Seth won't. Now since Waller and AJ have had this dialogue, now he has somewhere to go." [54:02 - 54:15]
Dutch Mantell also commented on Grayson Waller's WWE main roster debut
WWE Draft led to a major reshuffling of the rosters, with several NXT stars moving up to the main roster. Among those was Grayson Waller, who was drafted to SmackDown.
The Aussie Icon made his SmackDown debut last Friday when he hosted the talk show "The Grayson Waller Effect" with AJ Styles as a guest. The two men had a verbal altercation, and the segment ended with a staredown.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell questioned Waller's introduction to the main roster:
"I don't know if it's the best way to introduce Waller, I think they are speeding it up. Now I kind of feel that WWE is putting too much into people watching NXT. I don't know how many people are watching them, like 600k? But they are actually thinking that everybody knows these guys already. But they don't. They're gonna have to start from zero and they have to go up in this system and see where this goes. This didn't do a lot for me either but I'm glad they didn't start fighting. Because that would be kind of useless in my opinion." [54:16 - 55:11]
The presentation of Grayson Waller was great. They gave him that superstar introduction.
He's going to thrive on the main roster. https://t.co/GYyx42KXyC
AJ Styles and Grayson Waller had a feud when the latter was a part of NXT, and the duo could soon reignite the rivalry if Styles remains on the blue brand. Karrion Kross also teased going after The Phenomenal One during a backstage segment on SmackDown.
