During the 2024 Elimination Chamber event, AJ Styles launched a vicious attack on LA Knight, surprising fans as he wasn’t originally slated to compete in the match.
Despite his absence from the scheduled lineup, The Phenomenal One made a sudden appearance during the contest, targeting The Megastar with ferocity. Following this unexpected assault, WWE has teased a potential showdown between LA Knight and AJ Styles at WrestleMania 40.
While this matchup holds promise for both competitors, there’s speculation that additional superstars could become involved. On an episode of SmackDown, Knight may enlist the support of a duo to aid him against Styles.
The duo in question comprises former tag team champions Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. Recent tensions within The O.C. have seen Styles clash with his former allies, notably culminating in a physical altercation where Styles slapped Anderson. This friction could prompt Gallows and Anderson to align with Knight on SmackDown.
To further elevate the storyline, WWE could introduce the Wolf Dogs to align with AJ Styles. This addition would enhance the drama, especially considering the history between Anderson, Gallows, and NXT’s Wolf Dogs.
During their stint in NXT, Anderson and Gallows expressed their intentions to capture tag team gold, suggesting a potential three-on-three feud, particularly with Wolf Dogs currently reigning as NXT Tag Team Champions and Bron Breakker competing on SmackDown. While speculative, this angle has the potential to captivate audiences leading up to WrestleMania 40.
