Edge vs. AJ Styles Announced For WrestleMania Backlash

WWE

After weeks of being spooky with purple lighting on Raw, Edge will once again take on AJ Styles at WrestleMania Backlash in a rematch of their WrestleMania 38 match, which saw Edge win after Damian Priest distracted Styles.

On last night’s episode of Raw, Styles was attacked backstage by Edge and Priest, which ultimately led to this match being announced.

Here is the match announcement on WWE.com.

AJ Styles will step back into the ring with his WrestleMania 38 opponent in the hopes of disbarring the self-appointed judge Edge.

Ever since his initial run-in with Styles on The Road To WrestleMania, Edge has revealed a much more sinister side, judging the WWE Universe and Styles himself from high atop his “Mountain of Omnipotence.” The Rated-R Superstar’s message has already resonated with Damian Priest, as the former United States Champion made a surprising appearance on The Grandest Stage of Them All to cost Styles his match against Edge.

A livid Styles stormed onto the Raw after WrestleMania looking to get payback for his loss at The Show of Shows but could not overcome Edge and his newest disciple, nearly falling victim to another Con-Chair-To if not for WWE Officials coming out to separate the Superstars.

But Edge has not finished his judgement of The Phenomenal One and has vowed to make an example out of him at WrestleMania Backlash for disrupting his message.

Can Styles survive his trial before “The Grand Jury”? Find out at WrestleMania Backlash, streaming live, Sunday, May 8, at 8 ET/5 PT on Peacock in the United States and WWE Network everywhere else.
