Contract signing set for WWE SmackDown
Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre will interact on WWE SmackDown tonight ahead of their title bout at Wrestlepalooza.
It’s been announced that tonight’s Wrestlepalooza go-home edition of SmackDown will include a contract signing for Rhodes and McIntyre’s WWE Championship match. The bout was made last week when Rhodes returned to WWE programming, appearing for the first time since McIntyre laid him out with a Claymore against the announce table in August.
Rhodes — the WWE Champion — had been away filming his role as Guile in Legendary Entertainment’s upcoming live-action “Street Fighter” movie. Rhodes and his wife Brandi also welcomed their second child into the world at the end of last month.
In his return last week, Rhodes fought off McIntyre while saving Randy Orton from McIntyre’s attack.
