Aichner&#8217;s strength and agility would overcome the early offense from Ryan though, and Aichner would go on to dominate the match. I really like how they&#8217;re building up Aichner. First he beats up Andrews after playing nice, and now he&#8217;s beating up a hometown guy. They&#8217;re building him up to be a good jerk who likes to hurt people.
