The season premiere of SmackDown is sure to deliver a slew of surprises. The night begins with The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes defending his Undisputed Championship against The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa in a SummerSlam rematch. But this isn’t an ordinary title defense, oh no. It’s a Steel Cage match!
Also on the card, Andrade and Carmelo Hayes embody the “fight forever” chant as their heated rivalry continues, and Kevin Owens and a mystery partner take on Austin Theory and Grayson Waller (aka A-Town Down) in a grudge match.
