AJ Styles Blindsides Cody Rhodes in France Ahead of Backlash

WWE

Cody Rhodes was the victim of a sneak attack by AJ Styles during a recent promotional event in France.

Rhodes and Styles are scheduled to face each other at Backlash on Sunday, May 8th. The attack is thought to be a way for Styles to get a psychological advantage over his opponent heading into the match.

Rhodes was reportedly caught off guard by the attack and did not suffer any serious injuries. He is still expected to compete at Backlash as scheduled.

The sneak attack is the latest in a series of escalating tensions between Rhodes and Styles. The two have been feuding for several months, and their rivalry has intensified in recent weeks.

It remains to be seen how the attack will affect the outcome of their match at Backlash. However, it is clear that Styles is willing to do whatever it takes to win.
