AJ Styles is back in the spotlight following his disappointing defeat at WrestleMania XL. His upcoming match against Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at Backlash has sparked discussions among wrestling enthusiasts.
Formerly known as Aiden English, Matthew Rehwoldt shared his insights on the clash between The Phenomenal One and Cody Rhodes. After AJ Styles suffered a setback against LA Knight at WrestleMania 40, he redeemed himself by defeating Knight on SmackDown, earning himself a title shot at the premium live event in France on May 4.
During the REBOOKED Wrestling podcast, Aiden English speculated that LA Knight might intervene in the title match at Backlash, possibly costing AJ Styles the victory. He hinted at the potential formation of an unexpected alliance between Knight and Styles after their ongoing rivalry reaches its conclusion.
Rehwoldt elaborated on his prediction, suggesting a post-Backlash showdown between LA Knight and AJ Styles in a stipulation match. He anticipates some interference from Knight during the title bout to disrupt Styles’ momentum, setting the stage for a final confrontation between the two rivals.
Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes appears confident as he prepares for his first title defense at Backlash. However, wrestling veteran Kevin Nash discussed the possibility of Rhodes losing his championship to AJ Styles. Nash expressed uncertainty about the outcome, highlighting the significance of Rhodes’ championship reign.
As anticipation builds for their showdown, fans can expect Styles and Rhodes to confront each other on SmackDown. With their first encounter looming, the wrestling world eagerly awaits the escalation of their rivalry, as both competitors aim for victory in their high-stakes clash.
