10 New Directions For WWE After Backlash 2024
8. A Phenomenal Feud Blow Off
Don't rule out Hell In A Cell.
No, not a standalone PLE called that, but the actual gimmick match itself. It'd be perfect to settle the score between AJ Styles and LA Knight. If not, then they're sure to brawl like crazy in some sort of stipulation bout outside the famous cage. These lads are locked at one win apiece, remember?
AJ's title charge opposite Cody Rhodes was always going to be fleeting, and it blatantly happened exclusively so WWE could power through France and Backlash. Going forwards, and after Knight enters King Of The Ring, they'll need to do something at either Clash At The Castle or the follow up Money In The Bank show.
Can WWE hold off on HIAC until SummerSlam? Absolutely, but they might need to keep Styles and Knight apart on PLE or have them go to 2-2 before settling matters in a bumper grudge bout. One thing's for certain: There's unfinished business between them.
