The catch is whether or not he has means of victory though. We're only assuming that Wahl is a bad matchup b/c of immunity to lightning, but perhaps Laxus has other means of winning("red" lightning next chapter?). In any case, I'm watching and seeing how this fight turns out. Its far too early to make judgements, but I really hope the other spriggans aren't defeated in the way Ajeel was, where a moment of carelessness caused his demise. From here on out i hope for death battles, so i mean lets see how everything concludes. If he really wins through some BS means than I would concur with you, but the future is unknown as of now. Both the extent of the Spriggans' powers (only 2 have been defeated thus far) and Laxus's strength post timeskip(defeated the 5th ranked Wizard Saint pre-skip) are both unknowns.
