The WWE Backlash Kickoff was just too sweet.
At the WWE Backlash Kickoff, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and AJ Styles came to the stage and discussed their match. In one highlight, Rhodes referenced Bullet Club and went to "Too Sweet" Styles.
“I wish this was under a bit of better terms. Last week, AJ implied that I cannot carry the weight of this championship. [Styles says that isn’t what he said.] Well, that’s what it sounded like. Hey, perhaps there’s a chance, here and now, tonight as well. It’s no secret. Former leader of the Bullet Club," Rhodes said.
The crowd chanted "Too Sweet", and Rhodes made the symbol. He went to "Too Sweet" with AJ Styles, who teased going for it, but he walked away. Rhodes then put up the "Too Sweet" again, and Michael Cole gave it to him.
