Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre Sign Contract with Confrontation Before Wrestlepalooza
The anticipated Wrestlepalooza event is just around the corner, and the atmosphere is heating up with the contract signing between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre. The tension between both wrestlers reached its peak, anticipating an epic confrontation.
The signing of the contract did not escape WWE’s tradition, where hostility is an essential ingredient.
The ceremony, which began with apparent cordiality, soon turned into an exchange of words and provocations. Rhodes reminded McIntyre of their past as tag team champions, while McIntyre, true to his style, was quick to respond with criticism.
After the contract signing, physical confrontation was inevitable. McIntyre, although intending to attack, decided not to incapacitate Rhodes, seeking a match at Wrestlepalooza.
"I'm taking the one thing that means the most to you…"
Brock Lesnar’s appearance on SmackDown was shocking. “The Beast” showed an unusual side, but quickly returned to his characteristic brutality. Michael Cole was a victim of his fury, suffering a ruthless attack.
Corey Graves, while trying to help Cole, also became a target of Lesnar, receiving two “F5s”. Lesnar, looking at the camera, launched a direct threat to John Cena.
Before leaving the stage, Lesnar met with Paul Heyman, suggesting a conversation, which has sparked speculation about a possible alliance.
Lesnar’s attack also surprised due to Graves’ physical involvement, who retired from active competition in 2014 due to problems related to concussions.Other highlights include the victory of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, who seem to have consolidated their teamwork.
Nia Jax caused an altercation between Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill, leading to the scheduling of a triple-threat match for the next SmackDown.
Also, Sami Zayn and Carmelo Hayes delivered a memorable match, with Zayn retaining the United States Championship.
