Let’s take a look at the highlights and results from SmackDown.

John Cena’s Opening Segment

SmackDown kicked off with John Cena addressing the WWE Universe. Cena boldly claimed that the Mount Rushmore of Wrestling consists of only him, declaring that no one can match his legacy. He called out CM Punk and Seth Rollins, warning both with fierce words.

Cody Rhodes then entered and playfully mocked Cena. Randy Orton returned soon after, reminding everyone that he had defeated Cena in St. Louis and that he wasn’t concerned about Cena chasing his 15th title.

Carmelo Hayes tried to capitalize, but Orton hit him with an RKO and pinned him for the win.

Later, Jacob Fatu addressed the WWE Universe. He criticized Solo Sikoa, stating that just because they’re family doesn’t give Solo the right to treat him poorly. Fatu declared that no one else could take credit for his achievements. Solo appeared on the big screen, responding that he brought Fatu into WWE when no one else wanted him.

Later in the show, John Cena returned to the ring, calling for R-Truth. However, CM Punk showed up instead. Punk said if Cena felt disrespected now, it was only the beginning.

Officials rushed in to break it up.
