Last night’s explosive episode of Friday Night SmackDown saw several shocking twists and surprising upsets that left fans on the edge of their seats. The main event saw Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson make a bold declaration to Cody Rhodes, stating his desire for Rhodes to be his champion.
In other matches, Jimmy Uso emerged victorious over Drew McIntyre after McIntyre’s attempts to humiliate him backfired, resulting in a brutal beatdown. Carmelo Hayes and The Miz picked up a tag team win thanks to an assist from United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, while WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton solidified her title reign with a convincing victory over Candice LeRae.
However, not all matches went as planned. A chaotic brawl broke out between Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez and Naomi and Bianca Belair, leaving the referee powerless to intervene. Meanwhile, Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano’s WWE Tag Team Championship reign was left uncertain after a No-Contest match against Pretty Deadly.
In another intense matchup, Damian Priest and Braun Strowman defeated Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa, with The Archer of Infamy emerging victorious despite missing his superkick. As the episode drew to a close, The Rock’s declaration to Cody Rhodes has set up an intriguing new dynamic in the WWE landscape.
