7 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE SmackDown (31 May - Results & Review)

1. AJ Styles Goes Mark Henry

Speaking of delicious!

AJ Styles' retirement fake out was eerily reminiscent of Mark Henry's own ruse back in 2013. Styles spent all night teasing that he was ready to walk away and go home to his family, but it was an evil scheme painstakingly designed to lure Cody into another WWE Title match on Clash At The Castle.

Everyone involved laid it on thick with the crocodile tears. LA Knight was fooled, so was Rhodes, and AJ's old OC buddies added to the moment by feigning sadness over their friend's tough decision. Of course, they were in on it. Styles dropped Cody with a sudden clothesline, then hit his Styles Clash off the ringside steps to the floor.

This fabulous closing angle came at the end of an emotional journey that's actually been going on longer than some might think. AJ has been questioning his future for months now, but it was all a swerve. The next match between he and Rhodes over in Scotland may have to be 'No DQ' after this.
