The Phenomenal AJ Styles made his return to the WWE on Friday night, but his return took a surprising twist as he started off by feuding against The Bloodline, then completely destroying one of the biggest babyfaces of the company. It was a moment that confused not only the WWE fans but the superstars in the ring as well. This episode of WWE Smackdown was left with a cliffhanger ending.
Styles made an unexpected return
Randy Orton and Jimmy Uso put on a strong match and Solo Sikoa attempted to interfere in the final moments. However, his efforts were foiled by LA Knight and Orton took advantage of this to go for a quick RKO and win. As Roman Reigns led The Bloodline in attacking Knight and Orton, AJ Styles made an unexpected entrance and changed the dynamics. He executed a phenomenal forearm and joined forces with Orton and Knight to clear the ring.
AJ shocked everyone after attacking LA
In a surprising twist, AJ Styles clotheslined LA Knight while trash talking to the heels. Leaving everyone stunned, Styles walked past The Bloodline without any explanation. Randy Orton looked shocked yet surprised and Knight looked confused. The Bloodline was equally shocked and couldn’t understand Styles’ actions, wondering why he attacked both them and a teammate he was defending.
The Phenomenal was booed by the audience
The audience was very happy when they saw “The Phenomenal” return, but they were soon turned down when he struck Knight. Although it is unclear whether Styles is a heel or not, he was still booed. This makes sense, given Knight’s popularity among fans. AJ is in great shape and a match between these two would definitely be entertaining.
The company seems to be preparing a Knight vs. Styles feud and an Orton vs. Reigns feud. The interesting twist points to a complex storyline where Styles, despite aiming for a top babyface, won’t necessarily become a full-fledged heel. The concluding scene of Smackdown has shocked all parties involved, emphasizing the mysterious nature of Styles and the twists and turns in the evolving story.
