Our WWE SmackDown results for tonight include Sami Zaynâ€s United States Open Challenge, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes returns to address his Crown Jewel defeat, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss defend the WWE Womenâ€s Tag Team Championship against NXTâ€s Zaria and the Womenâ€s Speed and NXT Womenâ€s North American Champion, Sol Ruca, and Drew McIntyre battles Jacob Fatu. Hereâ€s our review and grades for tonightâ€s show, live from the SAP Center in San Jose, California.
As the show kicks off, SmackDown GM Nick Aldis is in the ring. Aldis announces that the winner of the Drew McIntyre vs. Jacob Fatu match is now a number one contenderâ€s match. That match will be against this man. Aldis points to the stage, and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes‘ music hits.
The crowd sings for Rhodes as he stands in the ring and takes it all in. Rhodes notes that Seth Rollins beat him for the Crown Jewel Championship. After all of this, Rhodes doesnâ€t think he ever needs to be in the ring with Rollins ever again. Rhodes knows it doesnâ€t work like that, but Rollins has the Brons and an Oracle to deal with. While Rollins deals with that, Rhodes is going to handle his business. Will it be McIntyre or will it be Fatu? The battle at Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event runs through San Jose!
Solid and quick promo. Itâ€s always best when these things donâ€t run too long. Itâ€s interesting that we got so many reports today that the main event would be changed to Rhodes vs. McIntyre due to Fatu being injured. So far, it seems that was a crock of you know what. Letâ€s see how it plays out.
Backstage, Solo Sikoa has his MFTs beat up Rey Fenix.
NXTâ€s Blake Monroe is in the crowd to watch the next match.
This event is ongoing. This information will be updated as the event progresses.
