Rhodes is enjoying the best run of his career as the face of the company. He has already had a couple of successful title defenses against the likes of Logan Paul and AJ Styles himself. However, recent weeks have shown that Styles is ready to play mind games and do whatever it takes to reclaim his spot at the top in the promotion.

Below are four signs that indicate AJ Styles will dethrone Cody Rhodes at Clash at the Castle: Scotland to become the new Undisputed WWE Champion.

#4. AJ Styles' phenomenal record in 'I Quit' matches

The only way an 'I Quit' match ends is if one wrestler makes the opponent concede to the referee by saying the words 'I Quit.' The match tests the resilience and stamina of both athletes involved.

AJ Styles and Cody Rhodes are two of the most resilient competitors in WWE, making it tough to predict a clear winner. However, one reason why Styles may have the edge at Clash at the Castle is his flawless record in 'I Quit' matches. He is currently 3-0 in his career and will look to make it 4-0 in Glasgow, Scotland.

#3. Numbers game may catch up to Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes has a freakish win-loss record since his return to WWE in 2022. He has lost only a handful of matches, the majority of which were due to outside interference.

Heading into Clash at the Castle, Rhodes may be the favorite, but he needs to be aware of the numbers game stacked against him. In an 'I Quit' match, where there are no disqualifications, AJ Styles could take advantage by introducing his O.C. stablemates, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, into the match. With 3-on-1 odds, it would almost guarantee that Styles will walk out as the new champion.

#2. The Bloodline factor

After Cody Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns to become the Undisputed WWE Champion at WrestleMania 40, it seemed his long-standing rivalry with The Bloodline was over.

However, Paul Heyman has made it clear that The Bloodline is determined to reclaim the title. On a recent episode of SmackDown, Heyman asked Solo Sikoa about their plan, and Sikoa confidently stated that they had Rhodes "under control."

This hints that Solo might be planning something big and could interfere in Rhodes' match against AJ Styles, potentially costing The American Nightmare the title and reigniting their rivalry.

#1. AJ Styles gets personal at WWE Clash at the Castle

Given the point in AJ Styles' career right now, he is desperate to win the world title one more time before eventually hanging up his boots. He has shown over the last few weeks that he will do anything to make it happen.

Cody Rhodes recently shared on one of his Instagram stories that his mother, Michelle Rubio, is traveling with him for Clash at the Castle. The Phenomenal One could take advantage of this fact during the match.

He could sinisterly threaten to attack Mama Rhodes in front of The American Nightmare. Given Rhodes' love for his mother, he could concede and utter the words 'I Quit,' making AJ Styles the new Undisputed WWE Champion.
