๐ฅ Chaos on SmackDown: Cody Rhodes Signs a Dangerous Deal, While Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair Lay Waste to Nia Jax! ๐ฅ
WWE SmackDown delivered pure mayhem this week, with major decisions, brutal ambushes, and new title contenders stepping into the spotlight. From Cody Rhodes being forced into a high-risk agreement involving Drew McIntyre to Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair sending a violent message to the womenโs division, this episode had everything.
๐ฉธ Cody Rhodes Accepts a Risky Stipulation โ One Mistake Could Cost Him Everything
Cody Rhodes is officially walking a razorโs edge.
After Drew McIntyre interfered in Codyโs clash with Oba Femi at Saturday Nightโs Main Event, tensions exploded behind the scenes. While SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis was negotiating McIntyreโs return to WWE TV, The American Nightmare shocked everyone by confronting McIntyre at his own homeโcrossing a line that WWE officials couldnโt ignore.
On SmackDown, Aldis called Cody to the ring and didnโt mince words. He accused Rhodes of proving McIntyreโs claim that WWE has become an โunsafe work environment.โ The fallout? Massive.
As part of McIntyreโs reinstatement deal:
- McIntyre will choose the stipulation for his Undisputed WWE Championship match against Rhodes
- Cody Rhodes is now legally barred from touching McIntyre before the match
And hereโs the kicker: If Cody breaks the rule even once, he will be stripped of the WWE Championship.
McIntyre must still pay a hefty fine and issue a formal apology to referee Dan Englerโbut make no mistake, the pressure is now squarely on Cody. One emotional slip, and his title reign is over.
๐ฅ Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair Send a Violent Warning to Nia Jax and Lash Legend
The womenโs division also erupted in chaos.
Nia Jax and Lash Legend picked up a dominant non-title victory over The Kabuki Warriors after Jax crushed Kairi Sane with The Annihilator. But their celebration didnโt last long.
Moments later, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair stormed the ring, launching a surprise assault that left both Jax and Legend laid out.
Earlier in the night, Lash Legend had brushed off Bliss and Flair, claiming she and Jax were done dealing with them and were focused solely on chasing the WWE Womenโs Tag Team Titles. That disrespect clearly didnโt sit well.
In a backstage interview with Jackie Redmond, Bliss and Flair fired back, making their intentions crystal clear:
Theyโre coming for the Womenโs Tag Team Championships.
The duo confirmed theyโll be waiting in the wings once Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky get their title opportunity on the January 5 episode of WWE RAW. Consider the warning officially delivered.
