There have been a number of reports/articles that he's the ringleader or perhaps just the main guy in a series of mean-spirited ribs in the locker room during his tenure in the WWE. So I'm guessing people see this as him getting his just desserts.
That is just awesome. Yeah, Styles will probably be on the next round of cuts, but it's still the coolest wrestling story I've read in a long time. Styles always seemed like the type who wouldn't take any shit, but I wouldn't have imagined him knocking JBL on his ass.
It wouldn't shock me if JBL took his brand of hazing too far. There's a fine line between friendly initiation and being Michael Hayes.
It would be a million times more awesome if Shawn brought it up (in a backhanded way, of course) sometime during the course of his ongoing feud.
On a side note, I didn't see any real signs of the damage on JBL's face on Raw. Then again, his face was half-covered by the hat. There were no signs of heavy make-up, either. Check it out:

F4/Wrestling Observer has the same story, so we can probably take this as true. But "true" as in as 'this was the story everyone was telling backstage' true; JBL will surely tell the his version of the events when he feels like relating them.
I can totally see Vince moving these two back into announce positions just to pair them on one of the shows. It would be better than Cole/Lawler at this point!
Okay so the biggest even of the year has a match that was put together six days before the event. And has less interest and importance (IMO) then the women title... Lets see who's involved.
