AJ Styles: ‘Pretty awesome’ to face Cody Rhodes in the first time. in todays Wrestling news
Styles will challenge Rhodes at Backlash for the Undisputed WWE Title.
AJ Styles looks forward to his first ever one-on-one match with Cody Rhodes.
Styles and Rhodes will be battling for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Backlash in France on Saturday. It’s Rhodes’ first title defense since he dethroned Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
Styles spoke to CBS Sports ahead of Backlash. When asked about how exciting this matchup against Rhodes is for Styles, he responded:
It’s certainly new. This is always good, and it’s especially true when you’ve done something for 25 years. The fact that we’ve both been there is a good thing. When I first joined WWE, Cody was already there. He left, and now he is back. Just never had the chance to fight each other. It’s pretty cool. He’s so famous right now, it is ridiculous. It’s a lot of fun to be in the ring with him for the first time in a foreign country.
Styles defeated LA Knight two weeks ago on SmackDown to become the number one contender for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
This Friday, SmackDown will feature a face-to-face segment between Rhodes and Styles.
Live streaming of Backlash will begin at 1 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday. The show will be held at the LDLC Arena, in Lyon.
