The wrestling world is abuzz with anticipation for the upcoming “I Quit” match between AJ Styles and Cody Rhodes at Clash at the Castle. As Styles’ retirement rumors circulate, many wonder if he will win another World Title before leaving the ring. However, several signs suggest that Rhodes will retain his Undisputed WWE Championship.
First, the “I Quit” match stipulation implies that Styles may not be retiring at this event. WWE’s choice of a personal and emotional match type like the “I Quit” may indicate that Styles will say “I Quit” and take a short break instead of retiring. This decision would allow him to make a triumphant return in the future.
Another sign that Rhodes will retain his title is the potential title change at Clash at the Castle. With Drew McIntyre challenging Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship, it is unlikely that both titles will change hands during the same event. Therefore, Styles’ chances of dethroning Rhodes are slim due to WWE’s tendency to avoid having multiple title changes at a single event.

Lastly, this title match may serve as a stepping stone to Styles’ actual farewell. Although Styles’ retirement may be imminent, WWE would not let him go without a proper send-off. The upcoming match provides an opportunity for emotional storytelling, making it a fitting end to Styles’ active wrestling career.
While Styles’ retirement may be near, it appears that he will not emerge victorious at Clash at the Castle. With WWE using an emotional angle and the “I Quit” stipulation, it seems that Rhodes will retain his championship. Regardless of the outcome, the rivalry between these two superstars has provided great entertainment, and their match promises to be a thrilling spectacle.
