Q8: 1.16 rating - A.J. Styles and Kurt Angle vs. Daniels and Kazarian, post-match angle with Daniels announcing that A.J. Styles is the father of Claire's baby

Powell's POV:The big jump at the end of the show can be interpreted as viewers being excited about the tag title match or the latest Daniels' accusation regarding Styles. Obviously, we haven't seen the last of the soap opera style storyline even though a number of people within the locker room have expressed disappointment with it.
