WWE SmackDown Explodes Into Chaos as Bron Breakker Steals the Spotlight After Wild No-Contest Main Event
WWE SmackDown wasted no time setting the tone for a chaotic night, as the opening segment quickly turned into a preview of the mayhem expected at the Royal Rumble.
Cody Rhodes kicked off the show alongside Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso, with each superstar confidently declaring their intention to walk out victorious in the upcoming premium live event. What seemed like a standard hype segment soon spiraled out of control.
Cody Rhodes and allies dragged into unexpected showdown
Just as the group prepared to head backstage, they were blindsided by The Vision. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis immediately raised the stakes, announcing an impromptu eight-man tag team match on the spot. The Vision didn’t wait for introductions, launching a sneak attack that ignited a full-scale brawl before the bell even rang.
Once the match officially began, chaos ruled the ring. Both teams clashed in a fast-paced street-fight-style encounter, with Cody Rhodes fighting to even the odds as bodies flew on all sides.
No-contest ending after interference chaos
Momentum appeared to swing toward the fan favorites after Randy Orton shifted the match in their favor. However, the bout never reached a clean finish. Drew McIntyre stormed the ring and attacked Sami Zayn moments after Zayn flattened an opponent with a Helluva Kick, forcing the referee to call for a no-contest.
The chaos escalated further when Jacob Fatu jumped McIntyre, only for Cody Rhodes to take him out moments later. McIntyre wasn’t finished, attempting a Claymore on Rhodes before Zayn once again shut him down with another Helluva Kick.
Bron Breakker shocks everyone with last stand
As the dust settled and Cody Rhodes moved toward the WWE Championship, the moment was abruptly stolen. Bron Breakker charged in and delivered a devastating double spear to both Cody and his rival, leaving them laid out in the ring.
With the ring cleared and the title still out of reach for everyone else, Breakker stood tall to close the segment — making it clear that he is more than ready to crash the WWE title picture ahead of the Royal Rumble.
