AJ Styles’ recent tease of retirement in WWE left fans stunned, only to shock them further by revealing it as a ploy to attack Cody Rhodes. However, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long has shed light on the situation, revealing that the emotional segment was more than just a clever storyline. According to Long, the intensity and authenticity of the moment were genuine, making it difficult to categorize as simply “fake.”
The ongoing feud between AJ Styles and Cody Rhodes has been building momentum, culminating in an “I Quit” match at Clash at the Castle.
The SmackDown segment where AJ feigned retirement had many in the audience convinced of its legitimacy. While the swerve was eventually exposed, Teddy Long’s insight suggests that the emotions and intentions behind the scene were far more real than fans may have realized.
Long’s perspective adds depth to the storyline, highlighting the blurred lines between reality and fiction in professional wrestling. As the rivalry between AJ Styles and Cody Rhodes continues to expose, fans are left wondering what’s next for these two wrestling superstars.
One thing is certain, however – the tension and drama surrounding their feud are undeniable, and the upcoming “I Quit” match promises to be an unforgettable showdown.
