In the aftermath of his victory over LA Knight, AJ Styles finds himself in the spotlight as the number one contender for Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship. As anticipation builds for their upcoming clash, Styles shared his thoughts on the momentous occasion.
In a post-match interview with WWE correspondent Kayla Braxton, Styles reflected on his upcoming showdown with The American Nightmare.
Despite the controversial nature of his victory over LA Knight, Styles was quick to express his admiration for Rhodes.
“Just because I don’t like LA Knight, doesn’t mean I don’t like everybody else. I have a lot of respect for Cody and you. The rest of the WWE Universe are gonna find out what I have to say next week,”
Styles remarked, hinting at an impending revelation.
With both Styles and Rhodes set to headline Backlash, anticipation for their showdown continues to mount.
On Wrestling’s Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell shared his excitement for the clash between two Georgia-born talents, emphasizing the potential for a memorable encounter.
“These are two Georgia boys meeting up in France. Yeah, it would probably be better than that little flea market they used to wrestle in Cartersville. I bet there’s a big difference there. But, good luck to them, and let’s see what they do. I mean, I think they’ll have a great house in France,”
Mantell commented, echoing the sentiments of fans eagerly awaiting the spectacle.
As the countdown to Backlash begins, all eyes are on Styles and Rhodes as they prepare to write the next chapter in their storied rivalry. With tensions running high and expectations soaring, the WWE Universe eagerly awaits their confrontation on the blue brand.
