WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: WAR GAMES IS COMPLETE, TAG TEAM ISSUES, KEVIN SPEAKS THE TRUTH (AGAIN), AMBULANCES IN ACTION, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2024-11-22 22:00:00

Nick Aldis asks Nia Jax if she knows what happened to Jade.  Nia says she will take out Jade at War Games.  She says she was helping Tiffy and Candice for their match.

Nick stops Cody Rhodes and he wants to know where Cody is going.

Cody says he is going to the ring for his face to face.  Nick says he hasn't heard from Kevin and says that Kevin isn't even here.  Cody says he won't get tricked by Kevin.

Cody makes his way to the ring.

Cody says it is that time.  It is face to face time.  He says Randy Orton is not here and they are telling him that Kevin Owens is not here.  Cody says he does not believe Kevin and he tells Kevin to come to the ring.

Cody tells Kevin not to keep him waiting.  

Kevin makes his way through the crowd and into one of the sections.  Kevin says he is a little insulted.  Kevin says he was summoned to be here tonight because the Great Cody Rhodes wanted him here and you can't deny Cody's request.  Kevin says he is dressed to the nines and Cody isn't even dressed in his politician's suit.

Cody says Kevin was summoned here to meet Cody in the ring.

Kevin says Cody doesn't get what he wants because he wants it.

Cody leaves the ring and security from Jurassic World comes out and hold out their hands.

Kevin says Cody wants to fight him but he wants to know what has made Cody so upset.  What happened to Cody and Randy is his fault.

Kevin walks to the ring to tell Cody why it is his fault.  He says for four years, Kevin says he fought the Bloodline every week.  He fought them all and they tried to end his career.  The guy in charge of the group tried to end his career and he never did.  Kevin says he stood by Cody when he came back and he fought against them.  Kevin says he tried to help Cody win at Wrestlemania 39 and he was in the ring at Wrestlemania 40 when Cody finished his story.

Then Roman Reigns needs a partner because he pissed off everyone and who says yes?  You said yes and you teamed with the guy who tried to end his career and end what he has loved since he was 11 years old.  It is all your fault.

Cody tells Kevin enough.  If you want to justify your actions because he teamed with Roman Reigns, you can believe that.  Cody says him teaming with Roman had NOTHING to do with you.  Cody says Roman asked him.  He says Kevin has to be a victim and everyone has to be against him.  You have to be the one held down.  No one holds Kevin Owens down more than Kevin Owens.  Your self-sabotage is next level.  You want to be the face of WWE and the number one guy, but you forget that it is a team effort.  You obsessed and fixated over that because you have been synonymous with WWE for 10 years.  Everyone but you knows that. 

You want to talk self-sabotage?  How about the last time they wrestled each other.  At Bash in Berlin, you couldn't pull the trigger.  You could have been standing here as WWE Champion.  Cody says Kevin blames him for that.  You finally pulled the trigger, just on the wrong guy.  Randy Orton is a 100 percent legend and he was your friend.  He did not deserve what you did to him.  You didn't just bring back a banned move, you crossed a line.  This lesson won't be handled with a mere microphone.  He will beat it into Kevin.  Whether it is tonight or in your home country or at Saturday Night's Main Event, it is coming.  He tells Kevin the ball is in his court.

Kevin asks Cody if he is going to fight him.  Kevin says you will get it when he says it is happening.  The crowd groans and Kevin says it is definitely not happening tonight.  Kevin says when it happens, he is just doing his job.  Kevin says if Cody thinks he crossed the line with Randy, he loved Randy Orton.  Kevin says he hates Cody.

Kevin walks away and Cody tries to get to Kevin.  Cody says he doesn't think Kevin hates him.  He says Kevin hates himself.  Cody says he knows the lengths Kevin go to because he won't worry about any lines to cross.

Bloodline Classic are in ROOM and they talk about how they are not going to surrender.  Jey says they need a fifth.  Sami says he is out of ideas.  Jey asks about Cody Rhodes and Jimmy says yes but Roman says no.  Sami asks why.  Roman says he has moved on.  Sami says they could ask Seth one more time and Roman looks at Sami and Sami realizes that is a no.  Sami says there is nobody else.  What do they do here?

Roman says they don't need anyone else.  This is all that matters right here.  This is all they need.  They go out there together, they are good.  If they are not, they die and they die together.

Sami asks what is the plan and Roman says he doesn't know.

We are back and Carmelo Hayes tells Cody someone finally talked the truth.  He says no one is talking the truth about Randy and his neck.

Cody pushes Hayes and Hayes pushes back.

Nick separates them and he says that we need to see why he is a first round draft pick.
