AJ Styles wins the chance to face Cody Rhodes for his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Backlash
LA Knight and AJ Styles got things started on WWE SmackDown, and both superstars were more than ready to collide in a rematch of their battle at WrestleMania 40. There were more stakes attached though this time around, as whoever won this match would go on to become the number one contender to the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, and would face Cody Rhodes at Backlash.
Styles set up for a Styles Clash but Knight was able to escape it. Styles hit a Pele Kick and a forearm in quick succession, but missed the phenomenal forearm and ended up eating more offense from Knight. Knight was looking for the BFT but Styles rolled out of the way and poked Knight in the eyes. Styles then hit the phenomenal forearm and got the pin, moving on to face Rhodes in two weeks at WWE Backlash.
There are more matches that need to fill out the card, but this is obviously one of the biggest. Rhodes is coming off of the biggest match of his career and one of the great WrestleMania moments ever, so fans are eager to see him jump into his Title reign with a defense against someone of Styles' caliber.
