AJ Styles failed to dethrone Cody Rhodes as he lost the match for the Undisputed WWE Title at Backlash, the match was hard-hitting and had a lot of great spots by both the Superstars. While the result of the match was quite predictable, it should be assumed that Rhodes title reign would not be a shorter one and that respect for the title would be maintained in the same way as it was during the reign of Roman Reigns.
What is important to focus on is what will be the next big thing for AJ Styles after his loss against the American Nightmare in the Backlash match. Let’s explore the interesting possibilities that could determine the path forward for AJ Styles in WWE after his loss against Cody Rhodes at Backlash 2024.
5. King of the Ring tournament
After facing backlash, AJ Styles could announce his participation in the upcoming King of the Ring tournament scheduled for May 25 in Saudi Arabia. This move might be aimed at redirecting attention and reclaiming his standing in the wrestling world. Styles’ entry adds intrigue to the tournament, potentially reigniting fan interest and paving the way for an exciting competition among the WWE’s top talents.
4. Non Title Matches until SummerSlam
In the lead-up to SummerSlam, AJ Styles may anticipate facing off against competitors like Carmelo Hayes and Bobby Lashley in singles matches. These matchups offer opportunities for Styles to showcase his skills and solidify his position as a dominant force in the WWE. As he navigates these individual challenges, Styles aims to maintain momentum and build anticipation for his potential role at the upcoming SummerSlam event.
3. Money in the Bank 2024
In a bold move, AJ Styles could secure victory at Money in the Bank 2024, earning himself a guaranteed championship opportunity. With the coveted briefcase in hand, Styles could seize the moment to challenge the reigning World Champion.
This strategic decision not only underscores Styles’ ambition but also injects a new level of unpredictability into the title picture, setting the stage for an electrifying showdown between Styles and the reigning champion at a future WWE event.
2. United States Title Picture
Though he has already won it, a babyface turn for AJ Styles could mark a significant shift in his character, positioning him as a fan favorite. With this newfound alignment, Styles could set his sights on the United States Championship, currently held by Logan Paul.
Challenging Paul for the title would not only ignite a rivalry between the two but also showcase Styles’ determination to elevate the prestige of the championship through his in-ring prowess and integrity, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown between the two competitors.
1. Joining forces with RKO Show
Teaming up with Randy Orton and Kevin Owens, AJ Styles could form a formidable alliance aimed at taking down the new Bloodline faction led by Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and so called Tribal Chief Solo Sikoa. With a shared goal of avenging past injustices, such as matches lost due to interference from the Bloodline, Styles, Orton, and Owens would unite their talents and resources to confront their common adversaries.
This alliance sets the stage for an intense rivalry, as the two factions clash in a battle for supremacy within the WWE landscape. While nobody is sure on what will happen in the future, one should believe that AJ Styles will have a gret singles run after the loss at Backlash 2024 as the Hunter is one of the creatives in the WWE now.
