Can Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes beat Seth’s big dogs?
Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins has been made official for Crown Jewel. While the Undisputed Champion certainly has the advantage over the WWE World Heavyweight Champion coming into their match, that can all change once the bell rings Friday night. Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker have been absolute beasts who destroyed a good portion of the RAW roster. This past month highlighted that these two monsters can be beaten, but Orton and Rhodes will have an uphill battle on Smackdown. Can Cody and Randy leave Smackdown still 100% healthy?
Tiffany Stratton is set to face Stephanie Vaquer in a first-time match. Stratton has beaten the best of the best on the blue brand for the past 200-plus days, though Vaquer has more experience than the WWE Women’s Champion. What will be Stratton's next step heading into her big battle against the WWE Women’s World Champion?
The challengers of last week’s triple threat match may have had their final shot. Jade Cargill was severely busted open and Nia Jax suffered her fifth loss against Stratton for the prestigious belt. After a devastating loss, what will happen to Nia Jax and Jade Cargill moving forward?
Another week, another U.S. Open Challenge. From John Cena, Je’Von Evans, and Rey Fenix, Sami Zayn has managed to overcome the odds, but the unpredictability of his next opponent puts him at a severe disadvantage. Sami is going strong at 36 days. Will he make it to day 37 as the United States Champion?
