AJ Styles and Cody Rhodes delivered a five-star classic at Backlash, captivating the WWE Universe with their exceptional athleticism and storytelling. Despite Styles’ relentless effort and skill, he was unable to overcome Rhodes and secure the Undisputed WWE Championship. This setback, however, did little to dampen the spirits of the 46-year-old veteran, who remains unwavering in his pursuit to become a three-time WWE Champion.
This week, Styles took his determination to a new level. In a shocking turn of events, he launched a brutal assault on Rhodes, leaving fans and fellow wrestlers stunned. The intensity and ferocity of the attack underscored Styles’ resolve and willingness to go to any lengths to achieve his goal.
The drama unfolded further on last week’s episode of the blue brand, where The Phenomenal One approached General Manager Nick Aldis with a request for another title opportunity. Aldis, however, refused to grant the request, citing the need for fairness and competition. Unwilling to accept this decision, Styles took matters into his own hands, demonstrating his frustration and desperation in a shocking manner.
As a result of the vicious attack, Rhodes is expected to be out of action for a week or two, selling the effects and magnitude of Styles’ onslaught. This forced hiatus has left fans eagerly anticipating Rhodes’ return, as the storyline tension builds. When Rhodes eventually makes his comeback, it is expected that he will confront Styles, setting the stage for another high-stakes showdown.
This brewing rivalry promises to add significant excitement and drama to the WWE landscape, especially with a potential clash at a forthcoming premium live event.
The intensity of Styles’ pursuit of the championship and Rhodes’ resilience and determination are sure to make their next encounter an unmissable spectacle for wrestling fans around the world.
