Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes faced a surprise attack by a trio of adversaries after a brutal ‘I Quit’ match against AJ Styles. Clash at the Castle 2024 saw the introduction of a familiar foe for Rhodes, setting the stage for his next feud in dramatic fashion.
The event kicked off with a hard-hitting ‘I Quit’ match for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Tables, chairs, and handcuffs played significant roles in the brutal encounter. Despite being handcuffed earlier in the match, Rhodes managed to free himself and turn the tables on Styles.
Rhodes handcuffed Styles to the middle ring rope and exacted his revenge with a steel chair, prompted by Styles’ earlier taunt directed at his mother. The climax came when Styles, fearing a headshot from steel steps, uttered the fateful words, “I Quit.” Despite Styles conceding the match, Rhodes delivered the blow anyway, egged on by the crowd and his mother, Michelle.
As Rhodes celebrated his victory and made his way up the entrance ramp, he was confronted by Solo Sikoa. Suddenly, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa of the new iteration of the Bloodline launched a sneak attack from behind, overwhelming Rhodes in a three-on-one assault.
However, Rhodes wasn’t alone for long. Randy Orton and Kevin Owens rushed to his aid, turning the tide and fending off the Bloodline. The segment concluded with Rhodes, Orton, and Owens standing tall in the ring.
In a noteworthy moment, Randy Orton was seen eyeing the Undisputed WWE Championship on Rhodes’ shoulder, hinting at potential tensions and future challenges.
