In the big opening of this week’s SmackDown, wrestling icons CM Punk and Cody Rhodes faced each other in a great match against the mighty Bloodline. Punk and Rhodes, both armed with baseball bats, defend against a strong team. Despite their dominance in the count, Bloodline and the former world champions looked frustrated and ended up exiting the ring, setting the stage for an explosive night.
It was a night full of unexpected hopes and dramas
The opening not only showed the real tension between the competitors, but also set up the main event of the night: the highly anticipated match between Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa One match to one, but the rules did not allow anyone to enter the ring. Fans cheered when SmackDown cut to a commercial. However, what happened off-camera during the half hour added to the night’s unexpected events.
