As WWE gears up for another exciting live episode of “Friday Night SmackDown,” a significant spoiler has emerged. PWInsider has reported that a major closing segment will feature a contract signing between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre. This signing is pivotal as the two are set to face off for Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship at the upcoming “Saturday Night’s Main Event.”
Originally, Rhodes was scheduled to defend his title against Jacob Fatu during the October 17 episode of “WWE SmackDown.” However, plans shifted dramatically after Fatu was discovered backstage injured, leading Rhodes to accuse McIntyre of orchestrating the attack. This accusation has intensified the anticipation surrounding their championship showdown in Salt Lake City.
In addition to the highly-anticipated contract signing, WWE fans can expect Jade Cargill to address her controversial actions from last week, where she attacked WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, causing a knee injury. Cargill is poised to challenge Stratton for the title at “Saturday Night’s Main Event,” showcasing her new attitude and determination.
The excitement doesn’t end there. Ilja Dragunov will continue his reign as the WWE United States Champion with a second open challenge, following his successful title defense against Aleister Black last week. Dragunov aims to maintain the high standard set by his predecessor, Sami Zayn.
Furthermore, in a renewal of rivalries, Alexa Bliss will clash with former ally Nia Jax, adding another layer of intrigue to the evening’s matches. Fans are also speculating about a potential ambush from The Miz as Carmelo Hayes prepares for a singles match against Kit Wilson from Pretty Deadly.
With such dynamic matchups and storylines unfolding, this episode of “Friday Night SmackDown” promises to be an electrifying experience for wrestling fans. The upcoming “Saturday Night’s Main Event” is also shaping up to be a must-watch, highlighting WWE’s dedication to delivering thrilling entertainment.
