Solo And Jimmy Uso Attack John Cena, Aided By AJ Styles At WWE SmackDown

John Cena

WWE SmackDown on September 15, 2023, will be a night forever etched in the memory of wrestling enthusiasts. The return of The Rock to the squared circle after four years of hiatus was undoubtedly the highlight. However, the evening had its fair share of shockers, which included a dramatic encounter between John Cena and the Uso brothers, escalated by Solo Sikoa and then turned around with AJ Styles’ surprising intervention. During a segment of the evening, John Cena was the esteemed guest on the Grayson Waller show, a much-anticipated interaction that many fans were eager to witness. Waller, known for his candid approach, didn’t mince words with Cena. He quipped about Cena’s dream to be on his talk show and humorously mentioned the recent ‘Coach Prime’ incident, which drew attention to how hats and sunglasses are worn. It was clear Waller was attempting to unsettle the WWE veteran. Waller’s critique didn’t end there. He went on to question Cena’s intent and dedication to the sport. Drawing attention to Cena’s appearance at Payback not as a competitor but as a special guest referee, Waller voiced his skepticism. He accused Cena of misleading his fans, insinuating that perhaps Cena’s heart wasn’t truly in the competition anymore. Despite this, Waller did concede to Cena’s legendary status in the WWE universe but claimed that the 16-time world champion’s time in the spotlight had passed. As tension filled the air, Cena, not one to back down, responded by standing up, removing his shirt, and preparing to address Waller’s allegations. However, before he could utter a word, the situation took a turn. Jimmy Uso’s iconic theme reverberated throughout the arena, and the crowd watched in suspense as Jimmy made his way to the ring. Agreeing with Waller’s perspective, Jimmy echoed the sentiment that Cena’s prime had come and gone. In a daring move, he provoked Cena to take action, challenging the wrestling icon to throw a punch. The atmosphere grew even more intense when Solo Sikoa, known to many as The Enforcer and accompanied by Paul Heyman, joined the confrontation. The crowd was on the edge of their seats, waiting to see Solo’s next move. Just when it seemed Solo would take a swing at Jimmy, in an unexpected twist, he pivoted towards Cena, striking him with a powerful superkick. The two on one quickly turned into a full-fledged attack on Cena, as both Solo and Jimmy laid into him. But the night was filled with surprises. Just when it seemed Cena would be left defenseless against the duo, AJ Styles’ music blared, sending waves of excitement through the crowd. The Phenomenal One rushed to Cena’s aid, evening the odds. What ensued was a chaotic brawl that showcased the athletic prowess and intense rivalries that are the hallmarks of WWE. The intervention of AJ Styles highlighted the unpredictable nature of WWE events and solidified the evening as one for the history books. As SmackDown concluded, fans were left with many questions. Why did Solo side with Jimmy against Cena? What will be the repercussions of this alliance? And, with AJ Styles coming to Cena’s rescue, is a new alliance forming to challenge the dominant forces in the WWE? While the evening was filled with outstanding matches and the electrifying return of The Rock, the unexpected altercation between Cena, the Usos, and Styles promises to add a new chapter to the already thrilling storyline of WWE SmackDown. As the dust settles, fans worldwide will be eagerly awaiting the next episode to see how this saga unfolds.

5 WWE Superstars Who Have Real Life Heat

Real Life Heat

The world of professional wrestling has always been ripe with stories of on-screen rivalries transforming into off-screen tensions. With superstars living and working closely together, it’s not uncommon for personal issues to bubble up from time to time. Over the years, real-life disagreements between superstars have sometimes become as captivating as the scripted storylines they perform. One of the most talked-about issues in recent WWE history involves Riddle and Seth Rollins. The tension between them ignited when Riddle’s wife, Lisa, an accomplished gymnast and former contender on Steve Austin’s reality show, made derogatory comments about Becky Lynch, Rollins’ partner, on social media. Though Riddle publicly expressed his disagreement with his wife’s comments and later apologized to Rollins, it took a while for the dust to settle. Riddle’s attempt to mend fences after Survivor Series 2020 seemed to have eased things, with Rollins acknowledging the sincerity of Riddle’s apology. Another backstage issue that made headlines was the conflict between AJ Styles and Paul Heyman. The friction between these two stalwarts centered on the sudden releases of Styles’ close friends, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, in April 2020. Many, including Styles, attributed their departures to Heyman, who was the RAW Executive Director at the time. Styles’ aversion to Heyman led to his request to shift from RAW to SmackDown. This animosity was subtly referenced during their interactions, especially during their time on “Talking Smack.” In the women’s division, whispers of a real-life feud between Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks have persisted. Stemming from their NXT days, Banks once allegedly caused Bliss a bloody nose during a match. Their real-life tension seemed to come to the fore on several occasions, such as Banks questioning Bliss’s knowledge about wrestling history and their subsequent social media spats. The storied rivalry between Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton also had roots in a real-life disagreement. Stemming from a match in 2010 where Kingston failed to play his part correctly during a segment with Orton, leading to Orton’s visible frustration and the now-infamous “Stupid! Stupid!” outcry. Despite this rocky patch, Kingston and Orton have since buried the hatchet, with Kingston publicly expressing his admiration for Orton’s career. But perhaps one of the most-discussed backstage disagreements of recent times is between former best friends Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. Once inseparable, their friendship has seemingly deteriorated in the past few years. The tension between them became especially palpable during a title exchange segment on WWE SmackDown, leading to rumors of a backstage confrontation. Lynch’s subsequent comments on a podcast further fueled speculations about their soured relationship. In an industry where lines between reality and storyline often blur, these instances serve as a reminder of the real human emotions at play behind the scenes. Whether these disagreements get resolved or continue to affect relationships, they undoubtedly add another layer of intrigue to the world of WWE.

3 Reasons Why AJ Styles Is Not Performing At WWE Payback 2023

 The Phenomenal One has never needed an introduction all throughout his life. He came in AJ Styles and to this day holds his own; something that Walter.. sorry Gunther, cannot say. It does go onto show you that he may not need any promotion or mileage to get the crowd going. Styles has always been main event material but of late he has been sidelined due to other talents making the cut. On that note here are 3 reasons why he may not perform at Payback: AJ Styles, the “Phenomenal One,” has undeniably carved a path of success in WWE since his debut in 2016. Styles has been dealing with a long list of injuries since his TNA days and fans are kept away from such details so that a Superstar does not look weak. His journey from being a renowned name in various wrestling promotions to becoming a WWE superstar has been nothing short of extraordinary. Styles quickly asserted himself as a top-tier talent, winning the WWE Championship on multiple occasions and achieving several other championship victories. His in-ring prowess is often described as second to none, consistently delivering breathtaking matches that showcase his versatility and athleticism. Beyond his championship accolades, AJ Styles has also played pivotal roles in some of WWE’s most engaging storylines and rivalries, including memorable feuds with John Cena, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins. His compelling character work and ability to connect with the audience have made him a fan favorite. But on a lighter note, should he make the card surprisingly like many others would as reported, here are 3 matches he might be a part of : During the Slim Jim Battle Royal, AJ Styles executed a Phenomenal Forearm that sent Omos stumbling backward towards the ropes. Seizing the opportunity, eight WWE Superstars capitalized on Omos’s stunned state, collaborating to hoist the colossal figure over the top rope and onto the arena floor. Since his elimination at SummerSlam, the Nigerian Giant has been conspicuously absent from WWE TV, possibly biding his time for a return with vengeance in mind against The Phenomenal One. Omos and Styles once formed a partnership, jointly clinching the RAW Tag Team Titles in 2021. However, the alliance disbanded by the year’s end, culminating in a showdown during the first RAW of 2022. This unresolved rivalry might resurface in 2023, potentially culminating in a high-stakes showdown at the Payback premium live event. AJ Styles has secured the United States Champion title on three occasions. In the year 2023, Styles is on the verge of a possible fourth reign as the U.S. Champion. Presently, Rey Mysterio holds the championship after unseating Austin Theory on the August 11, 2023, episode of SmackDown. Following his triumphant streak of three consecutive singles victories against Karrion Kross, Styles appears to be setting his sights on capturing the championship gold instead of extending his rivalry with Karrion Kross. Add Austin Theory into the mix and chaos is sure to ensue. On the recent episode of Smackdown, AJ Styles’ feud with Karrion Kross appears to have reached its conclusion during their last encounter. It’s evident that Styles has shifted his focus towards larger objectives. On SmackDown, he headlined against Solo Sikoa, an event disrupted by the unexpected interference of Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman. Styles didn’t hold back in criticizing Uso for his negative attitude towards both fellow wrestlers and backstage personnel. While attempting to reason with Jimmy, Solo Sikoa intervened, only to be dismissed by Uso. The Phenomenal One didn’t shy away from calling out The Bloodline for their dominance and asserted his intention to bring them down a notch. Earlier, Styles found himself embroiled in a heated argument with The Good Brothers, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, along with Mia Yim. His actions as he stormed out of the scene appeared to have left the other faction members displeased, raising concerns of potential fractures within the group. AJ Styles’ success isn’t limited to the ring; his merchandise sales have consistently ranked among the company’s best. His impact on WWE extends beyond championships, leaving an indelible mark on the wrestling industry, solidifying his status as one of the most accomplished and celebrated performers of his generation. Get ready to embark on an exhilarating ride as we eagerly anticipate the thrilling twists and turns that lie ahead for The Phenomenal One!

AJ Styles to break the record of the most PPV MAIN EVENTS in Wrestling History

AJ Styles’ Potential to Break a Long-Standing WWE Record AJ Styles, a wrestler currently active in WWE SmackDown, might achieve a remarkable feat by surpassing a record held by a legendary figure in WWE history. Let’s explore this exciting possibility. AJ Styles and His Current WWE Journey AJ Styles is currently a part of WWE SmackDown and is associated with his group called the O.C. His stablemates include Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, and “Michin” Mia Yim. Recently, Gallows and Anderson faced off against The Street Profits in a tag team match, but unfortunately, they were defeated. However, Styles managed to secure a victory in his match against Karrion Kross on August 11, 2023. Chasing a Record: AJ Styles vs. Triple H Even though AJ Styles hasn’t been the central figure in WWE storylines lately, he has the potential to achieve something significant – breaking a record set by none other than Triple H. A recent statistic sheds light on the top 10 superstars who have appeared in the most main events at pay-per-view shows. This list doesn’t just cover WWE events; it also includes pay-per-view matches from other wrestling promotions like TNA (IMPACT Wrestling), WCW, and All Elite Wrestling. Remarkably, Triple H holds the first position on this list, having participated in an impressive 129 main events throughout his wrestling career. AJ Styles currently holds the second position with 122 main-event matches in pay-per-views. These 122 matches include both main events in WWE and other major wrestling promotions. AJ Styles: A Phenomenal Main Event Star The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles, was a prominent figure in IMPACT Wrestling for many years, headlining numerous high-profile shows. With Triple H retired from in-ring competition due to health reasons, AJ Styles has the chance to eventually surpass the record held by the 54-year-old wrestling legend. AJ Styles is still an active competitor and participates in matches regularly. This allows him to become the wrestler with the most main event appearances in premium live events. Names like Roman Reigns, Sting, John Cena, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, and others are also part of this list. Understanding the New Concept of Main Events It’s important to understand that WWE has introduced a new concept where some premium live events feature double or triple main event matches. In such cases, the final match of the show is counted as a main event appearance for a wrestler. Potential Feud on the Horizon: The O.C. vs. Bobby Lashley’s Faction As mentioned earlier, The Street Profits recently defeated The O.C. in a SmackDown match. This might set the stage for a possible feud between Bobby Lashley’s recently formed team, which includes Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford, and The O.C. It’s worth noting that AJ Styles was the one who defeated Bobby Lashley in the semi-finals of the 2023 World Heavyweight Championship tournament. This history could contribute to the development of a heated rivalry between these two factions. Looking Forward to Payback 2023 WWE’s next premium live event is Payback 2023. Fans are eagerly anticipating whether a showdown between The O.C. and Bobby Lashley’s faction will take place during this event. The outcome of this potential clash could have a significant impact on the ongoing storyline.

AJ Styles is an over-rated WWE star: Grayson Waller

AJ Styles stands as one of WWE’s and the wrestling industry’s most prominent figures. A highly skilled wrestler for nearly three decades, AJ Styles has earned a reputation as one of the best in sports entertainment. However, not everyone shares the same opinion as SmackDown’s rising star, Grayson Waller, has taken a different view, publicly deeming Styles as “overrated.” Grayson Waller Social Media Game for the rival AJ Styles In a recent video posted on Waller’s Twitter account, the Australian superstar makes his way to the ring on SmackDown before his match. As Waller approached one of the ring’s corners, he noticed a fan holding up a foil balloon shaped like Bingo Heeler, a character from the Australian children’s TV show “Bluey.”  For those who don’t know much about it, it’s a character from an animated series that RAW superstar Johnny Gargano’s son “Quill” is fond of. The fan passed the balloon to Waller, who initially seemed amused, but his expression quickly changed. He tore the balloon in half and threw it back into the audience. In the video’s caption, Grayson Waller took the opportunity to take a major shot at AJ Styles, even mentioning Johnny Gargano : This remark from the caption likely references Waller’s recent feud with Johnny Gargano leading up to NXT Stand & Deliver 2023. Concluding Thoughts Despite having lost two matches since his debut on the blue brand, Grayson Waller has been gaining significant attention and recognition on the blue brand. Currently, neither he nor Styles are scheduled to appear at WWE SummerSlam. It remains to be seen what’s next for Grayson Waller as he gains momentum and attracts a lot of attention. While a potential feud with former WWE Champion AJ Styles was hinted at, there have been no signs of it being implemented on television thus far.
