WWE SmackDown Review: Cody Rhodes Message for Randy Orton, Triple Threat #1 Contenders Match
About this episode
The episode reviews the latest WWE SmackDown, focusing on key matches and the ongoing feud between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton.
Lets talk about last nights SmackDown results: Kevin Owens, CM Punk, Gunther and Finn Bálor opened the show arguing over the WWE Championship picture. That led to a Triple Threat No. 1 Contender match later in the night. The match ended in chaos when Sami Zayn came out and laid everyone out with the WWE Title. Jacy Jayne retained the Women’s U.S. Title against Paige. Nikki Bella attacked Paige after the match. Tatum Paxley defeated Michin. Nia Jax & Lash Legend defeated Tiffany Stratton & Chelsea Green. Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes continued their increasingly personal feud, with Orton taking shots at Cody’s family. Overall: a storyline-heavy SmackDown focused on the crowded WWE title picture, Sami Zayn’s growing role, and the escalating Cody/Orton feud.
