Cody Rhodes got physical after this week's episode of SmackDown went off air.
Tonight's show continued from The Rock's promo last week where The Great One demanded that the Undisputed Champion give him 'his soul.' Multiple top WWE stars greeted the American Nightmare backstage throughout the episode. People like The Miz, Drew McIntyre, and CM Punk gave Cody their opinions on how he should respond to the offer.
The closing segment of the show saw Michael Cole bringing out Rhodes and explaining that becoming The Rock's champion would result in benefits like Cody being able to choose his opponents and work schedule and more. Cole then got a message saying The Great One had another gift for the WWE Champion.
What Happened After SmackDown
A truck painted with Cody's logo was then brought out and the Rock himself appeared on the big screen to cut another promo. He talked about Dusty Rhodes' passing and hoped that the current world champion would make the right choice tomorrow night.
The broadcast concluded with a confused Cody Rhodes standing by the truck but things didn't end there. After the episode went off air, Solo Sikoa sneak attacked his longtime rival. The leader of the New Bloodline continued his attack bringing Cody into the ring.
When Sikoa tried to introduce a chair into the mix, however, Cody turned things around. He delivered a Cross-Rhodes to Sikoa to take him out. Rhodes then cut a short promo and gifted his weight belt to a young fan to end the night.
