Last week’s WWE SmackDown took the wrestling world on an emotional rollercoaster when AJ Styles announced his retirement, only to reveal it was a ruse and attack Cody Rhodes. This article explores four ways Cody can seek revenge on Styles.
Firstly, Cody could challenge Styles to a Street Fight, a stipulation match that would allow him to seek sweet revenge. While Cody is an honorable WWE Superstar, Styles took advantage of his kind nature. A Street Fight would allow Cody to fight back fairly.
Secondly, Cody could brawl with Styles on SmackDown. Known for his good nature, Cody isn’t afraid to stand up for himself when necessary. He took the fight to Brock Lesnar last year, and he may do the same with Styles.
Thirdly, Cody could injure Karl Anderson, a member of The O.C., to send a strong message to Styles. With The O.C. seemingly back together, Cody could take advantage of this by retaliating against Karl and putting him on the shelf.
Lastly, Cody could form a stable to counter The O.C. With The O.C. being a major threat, Cody may need to form a group of his own to combat Styles and The Good Brothers. Two stars who could be perfect choices to work with Rhodes are NXT’s Axiom and Nathan Frazer.
While Styles’ attack on Cody was a low blow, Cody has several options to seek revenge. From challenging Styles to a Street Fight to forming a stable, Cody can protect himself and fight back fairly.
