In a captivating showdown at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland, Cody Rhodes emerged victorious in a highly-anticipated "I Quit" match against AJ Styles at the Clash at the Castle premium live event on Saturday, June 15, 2024.

Despite Drew McIntyre also vying for a world title on the same card, it was Rhodes who opened the show in a thrilling encounter against Styles. The atmosphere was electric as the crowd passionately rallied behind Rhodes, who has solidified his status as the most beloved babyface in professional wrestling.

As the match kicked off, it didn't take long for the action to escalate. Approximately 12 minutes into the proceedings, Rhodes found himself bleeding, evident of the physical toll being inflicted upon him by Styles. The audience responded by directing expletive-laden chants at Styles, expressing their displeasure at his audacity to harm their revered hero.

Styles relentlessly attacked Rhodes, subjecting him to an extended beatdown that left the champion on the brink of defeat. In a moment of vulnerability, Rhodes was actually put to sleep by Styles, prompting the challenger to appeal to the referee to end the match. However, the official firmly reminded Styles that in an "I Quit" match, victory can only be attained by forcing the opponent to utter those two decisive words.

Adding to the tension, Rhodes' mother was present at ringside, displaying raw emotion as she verbally confronted Styles and even slapped him multiple times. Although Styles menacingly brandished a chair, the situation did not escalate further.

Interestingly, despite expectations that The OC would provide backup for Styles, no assistance was forthcoming from the faction. Instead, Styles found himself handcuffed to the ropes, trapped and unable to escape. Faced with the looming threat of steel steps, Styles reluctantly uttered the words "I quit" to extricate himself from the match.
