Last week on SmackDown, former WWE Champion AJ Styles hinted at retirement, claiming that he was not going to get a shot at Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Title again. However, it turned out to be a ruse as Styles attacked Rhodes, hitting a Styles Clash off the steel steps. The two have been battling it out at live events since then, with Rhodes winning the match in Binghamton.
AJ Styles and Cody Rhodes shared a heartwarming moment on SmackDown, but it was short-lived as Styles attacked Rhodes, leaving fans in shock. Styles claimed that his time in the company was over as his family needed him, but it was all a ploy to catch Rhodes off guard.
Rhodes confronted Styles in a match at the live event in Binghamton, where he caught Styles and hit him with multiple Cross-Rhodes to pick up the win. Styles appears to have made his intentions clear, and it is expected that Rhodes will face Styles at WWE Clash at the Castle.
The two wrestlers are clearly in a feud, and after AJ’s actions, it may end up lasting longer than anyone thought. Fans will have to wait until SmackDown to see if there are any announcements regarding the match.
The unexpected turn of events has left fans in anticipation of what is to come. With the Clash at the Castle event coming up, it is expected that Rhodes will face Styles, and it will be a match to look forward to.
