Hours before WWE starts another live episode of “Friday Night SmackDown,” a big spoiler has surfaced. PWInsider reports that the closing segment of the blue brand will be the contract signing featuring Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre. The two are scheduled to clash for Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship at “Saturday Night’s Main Event.”
Rhodes was expected to put his professional wrestling gold at stake against Jacob Fatu during the Oct. 17 episode of “WWE SmackDown.” Plans changed when Fatu was found bloodied and with missing teeth backstage. Rhodes has insisted that McIntyre is responsible for the attack, leading to their title match in Salt Lake City.
