LA Knight fell short in his bid to challenge WWE Champion Cody Rhodes after WrestleMania, with AJ Styles emerging victorious. Now, Styles is set to face Rhodes at Backlash France, aiming to dethrone him from the top spot.
Expressing his discontent, LA Knight took to Instagram, pointing out the underhanded tactics used by Styles to secure his win. He emphasized Styles’ eye poke, suggesting it was overlooked by WWE.
Despite his recent setback, LA Knight remains a magnetic presence in arenas. His ongoing rivalry with Styles intensified back in February when Styles interfered in a crucial number-one contender’s match all the way in Australia.
Former WWE talent Matthew Rehwoldt, formerly known as Aiden English, speculated on a potential continuation of the feud between Styles and LA Knight. He envisioned a scenario where their rivalry extends beyond Backlash, possibly culminating in a stipulation match. Rehwoldt even floated the idea of the two adversaries forming a tag team after settling their differences.
Meanwhile, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash questioned the rationale behind prolonging the feud between LA Knight and AJ Styles, suggesting it might not be necessary.
As tensions mount between LA Knight and AJ Styles, fans eagerly anticipate the outcome of their rivalry and its potential impact on the terrain of WWE.
