Cody Rhodes voiced his interest for a rematch with AJ Styles

WWE SmackDown Superstar Cody Rhodes recently triumphed over AJ Styles at Backlash 2024 and in the post-show press conference, he stated a desire to face Styles again somewhere down the line.

Expressing himself in the post-Backlash press conference, The American Nightmare stated that he would love to meet Styles again in the squared circle. He also added how The Phenomenal One aimed for his shoulder in the bout and Rhodes would like to teach him a lesson this time.

He further detailed:

"That is a really great question. It's almost a better question for Triple H, in terms of the match-maker, the person who's putting on these international PLEs. (...) I feel I've only scratched the surface with AJ Styles. I don't know if we'll ever revisit that, but that's the type of fight I'd love to get into one more time, and he left a little ding on my shoulder that, perhaps, I'd like to return the favor."

The WWE Universe has already witnessed Rhodes' consistent dedication to refining his craft and is eager to see how the superstar will reach new milestones in the future.
