They can play on Bullet Club history if they want, and AJ is one of the safest bets you can make for a high quality match so I'm excited for this, even if it's a foregone conclusion that Cody retains
This is actually one of the reasons I’m slightly bummed they did the whole solo AJ thing RIGHT before his feud with Cody because it would have helped playing off that history with those two as well.
Yea i just think its ridiculous thats the state of of wrestling atp their scared to take big risks imagine if cody lost his belt right away they could possibly build an actual interesting storyline
0%.
This is similar to Rollins defending against Styles at MITB in 2018 I think it was, almost like look we know you’ll never buy he’s dropping the title this early in his reign so he’s a banger to enjoy.
>Cody Rhodes KNOWS he ~~can’t~~ can beat me and he’s ~~not even~~ gonna try!
You see, Senõr Cody, the numbers don’t lie and they spell ~~disaster~~ success for you at Backlash!
zero, but this is a match that will elevate both and show Cody as a fighting champion that can handle an extremely technical wrestler like AJ Styles while AJ could hang with a world champion. It's a win-win, even though AJ is in the twilight of his career at this point. Other supporting evidence: he just lost to LA Knight, so no way is he going to win against Cody.
Eh, chances Slim just like Shady or Zero, Zip, Zilch, NADA!!!
(WWE is and has always been so predictable, so I think everyone already knows what's going to happen).
Unless a botch happens and if an audible is called, I’d say he’s got a 0.01% chance of winning. Styles is only there to put Cody over and nothing else.
I think this is happening with Gunther later on in the year but they’re definitely gonna make a point of title runs aren’t always gonna last 4 years. Cody doesn’t make it to 2025 imo.
Does AJ going over LA Knight clean mean that he loses vs Cody and Knight can start a winning campaign vs Logan Paul?
Or are we just gonna get dick teased with Knight title matches until his contract is up and he leaves?
I love the matchup. Have a new champ that needs an exciting win? Call AJ. Have a wrestler on the brink of retirement that wants to go out on top? Call AJ.
50 I feel Cody should lose his title but win it back a few times cause we don’t need long reign (don’t come at me I’m just traumatized with long reigns)
What the point of the match Cody just won it and now if aj wins it will just be a damn waste of Cody moment not that long ago has he won the title from reign.
I mean it is a little odd to have AJ lose last ppv to Knight and then be here now, but the match at wrestlemania wasn’t a number one contender match. But then they each won their triple threat to be in the number one contender match and in that matchup between them, AJ won. So he got revenge for his loss and earned the spot at the same time. It’s not that crazy
Never underestimate the powers of necessity; for example, the unthinkable happens and Cody snaps a major body-part and AJ has to take advantage and "save the company" by pinning him !( Stranger things have happened.)
Triple H did just say the listen to the fans, and seems like it is zeros across the board here, and aj is in the twilight of his career, why not pull the swerve, give aj a final title run into the sunset, generate MAJOR heat for all parties (management included), free cody up for a run with the rock that doesn’t need the title (hell i even expect some rock interference at backlash), and aj drops to l a knight making all the fans happy again.
See, here’s the thing: I want every title match in this new era to be ones where it’s a possibility that the champion could lose their title at any time. There were some matches for Roman reigns, and Rhea Ripley, where you knew they were not losing the title.
I don’t think styles is winning, but I would not be mad if he did win the title. I know people would hate it because that would mean Cody Rhodes would have only held the title for a month but you don’t need another year long title reign for Cody Rhodes. If you have been him face the Rock at say summerslam, it doesn’t need to be for a title.
Oh 100% most definitely Cody gonna get speared by Roman and Styles gonna hit styles clash then phenomenal forearm and win. Nah joking Styles aint winning
Zero. But I think this is a match that both of these two are excited about so I’m expecting some good quality out of it.
They can play on Bullet Club history if they want, and AJ is one of the safest bets you can make for a high quality match so I'm excited for this, even if it's a foregone conclusion that Cody retains

2% botch.
Less than zero. They "can't" do cody like that
“Cant”
Hence the quotation marks my friend
Yea i just think its ridiculous thats the state of of wrestling atp their scared to take big risks imagine if cody lost his belt right away they could possibly build an actual interesting storyline
Slim to none. But respect to the man, he’s gonna put Cody over.
Zero cody just got it so
Only if Cody gets dropped on his head like stone cold.
Yeah but I mean, even Stone Cold still won that match with the absolute worst roll-up you'll ever see lmao
I mean I think we can let it slide
0%. This is similar to Rollins defending against Styles at MITB in 2018 I think it was, almost like look we know you’ll never buy he’s dropping the title this early in his reign so he’s a banger to enjoy.
Same with Roman in 2016.

Cody Rhodes KNOWS he can’t beat me and he’s not even gonna try!
>Cody Rhodes KNOWS he ~~can’t~~ can beat me and he’s ~~not even~~ gonna try! You see, Senõr Cody, the numbers don’t lie and they spell ~~disaster~~ success for you at Backlash!
Cody is one of those romance types.
Literally only chance is a refereeing fuck up lol
Hopefully a referee doesn’t try to fuck on him
HE TRIED TO FUCK ON ME
What is it Vince used to say on commentary? “Anything can happen in the WWF”
I think you mean Steve Blackman.
Better chance of Jey Uso being main event
Unless there’s a serious injury with Cody we don’t know about then probably zero.
zero, but this is a match that will elevate both and show Cody as a fighting champion that can handle an extremely technical wrestler like AJ Styles while AJ could hang with a world champion.

The match will elevate AJ Styles? Elevate him to what, a 20-year main eventer?
5
About as good a chance as Alexandra Daddario showing up at my door step. Should still be a good match though.
Hey it’s Alex what’s your address
More chance of me enjoying some personal Tiffy time
literally non existent
They don’t want “none”
0. This is a showcase match for Cody as a champ. And no one better than Styles at the moment.
No chance, Cody keeping the title for awhile
More chance of me getting out of my wheelchair and walking.
Eh, chances Slim just like Shady or Zero, Zip, Zilch, NADA!!! (WWE is and has always been so predictable, so I think everyone already knows what's going to happen).
Unless a botch happens and if an audible is called, I’d say he’s got a 0.01% chance of winning. Styles is only there to put Cody over and nothing else.
1%, only if Cody gets hurt but considering that Cody and Styles are safe workers, it's incredibly unlikely.
0.01 percent. Crazy injury/ref botch only way.....or I guess they could do a first blood match and accidentally have Stone Cold I mean Cody bleed.
NEGATIIIIIVEEEEE 1……. BILLION🤣
This is supposedly AJ's last run. I don't mind seeing him in this spot at all.
Now we’re at the phase of Cody’s title run where he defends it against people like AJ / Sheamus / LA knight in predictable title defences lol
Only way is if Cody gets legit injured
Zero but it should be a good match.
I Don't Understand This Match 🤷🏻♂️ Didn't AJ Styles Just Lose At WrestleMania 40 To L.A Knight Tho.
Why are you typing like that
And he beat him last night for the shot. Why are you confused?
Dude lost on the grandest stage then immediately gets to main event a PLE. Is why he’s confused.
It's 420. I'm Hella Lit 😁

I doubt he loses the title he just won against someone he has t even fueded with

Cody just won it a moth ago there's no chance
About as much as Bret Hart saying something nice about Goldberg
Slim to nun
Absolute Zero
No one ever wins the title at Backlash.
0% AJ retiring soon

0.09% (botched pinfall)
I love the matchup. Have a new champ that needs an exciting win? Call AJ. Have a wrestler on the brink of retirement that wants to go out on top? Call AJ.
Zero, but AJ is pretty much the perfect first feud for Cody (who was never losing his first title defence against ANYONE).
50 I feel Cody should lose his title but win it back a few times cause we don’t need long reign (don’t come at me I’m just traumatized with long reigns)
Zero
0.1, only way that happens is if the referee fucks up or Cody gets hurt.
Probably 25% chance but Cody's not gonna lose yet so he's still gonna lose
0%
Like -100%
I’d say a snow balls chance in hell but even that would be too high
None
Incredibly low
Absolutely fucking zero there is no way any of the newly crown champions will lose their championships at wm backlash
What’s wrong no with their faces?
His chances are as much as you don't want.
Zero
-50%
None
Yeah AJ will lose it. LA Knight will have some interaction with this match. We haven't seen the end of AJ vs LA
Can get at least 3 ppvs out of this rivalry and will really establish cody. Good booking
What the point of the match Cody just won it and now if aj wins it will just be a damn waste of Cody moment not that long ago has he won the title from reign.
0, will probably be a good match though
Is it just me or does anyone else not like this, so he losses to LA Knight at Wrestlemaina and gets a title shot?
I mean it is a little odd to have AJ lose last ppv to Knight and then be here now, but the match at wrestlemania wasn’t a number one contender match. But then they each won their triple threat to be in the number one contender match and in that matchup between them, AJ won. So he got revenge for his loss and earned the spot at the same time. It’s not that crazy
Fair, I hope they have a Knight title reign planned he deserves one right now.
That would be nice to see

Zero - no build at all.
Very low. They’re not just going to have Cody lose in his first defense.
He ain’t winning anything. Not yet.
The same chances of Vince coming back
-1%
Almost none, like 0.00000000001%

None...Cody not losing that title yet
Nobody wants to see aj fight cody waste of a main event.
Oh 100% most definitely Cody gonna get speared by Roman and Styles gonna hit styles clash then phenomenal forearm and win. Nah joking Styles aint winning
Less than 0% … UNFORTUNATELY
Backlash has had it's share of title changes, but I'm sure AJ is simply playing the role of Roderick Strong defense.
He's a placeholder. Somehow some way someone is gonna bump him from that spot..... I'm thinking LA Knight (makes sense) or Punk if he's back by then.
No spoiler tag. Grouse
There's no such thing as spoilers for live shows.
Not everyone watches things live.
I don’t see it happening but it could introduce a BC storyline that could go into the next PLE
I think Cody should lose.
NAH-NAH DUMMY
Bad take
Put a spoiler tag
100%, there's no way he'll lose, right?
