This is oddly one of the easiest votes for me, which is strange considering how far into it this is.  Kevin's awesome, and when inspired he can be a joy to watch.  But AJ though is on another level, so definitely voting for him.

Coin toss....KO. 

Owens is a really weird final 8 guy since he didn't really have a good year.

I forgot about the AJ jimmy leg dance! Six stars!

Well, this might be the easiest comparison in the whole tournament since both guys were basically in the same spot in the same company.

Boy, AJ was real good this year.

I think if you were just judging their out of ring performances...  AJ still wins.

Man, I so can't get down with this. AJ has been way better than I expected on the mic since coming to WWE for sure, but I'll take Owens on the mic over anyone else. He projects his disdain for basically every wrestler so well and gets over as a legit heel while still basically having believable motivations. The Jericho run is my favorite character work anyone has done in WWE in a very long time and it wasn't just Jericho getting that over.

I think I might still be voting AJ here, but yeah.

While as long as you ignore the fact that he was cheered pretty much non-stop and over the supposed face up until the Festival of Friendship...

If you wondering why I didn't push for Gallagher in the last round, well I was busy and I blew my material getting him past Cesaro. But I didn't want to put my boy through this.

Owens is good, but I dunno.....I can't quite buy him as a top guy, even as a heel with help. Styles hasn't got that problem at all. Easy choice.

There's not a ton to say here. I thought Owens should be out two rounds ago. Styles should probably win everything this year. Night and day.

I love KO, but no fucking way did he come anywhere close to the year AJ had.

White boy rhythm does not sell either guy to me.

AJ's the best worker in North America right now.
