3 things Cody Rhodes can do on WWE SmackDown tonight

Cody Rhodes made his return to the ring at Live Event at Jacksonville, while Kevin Owens was cutting a promo. The American Nightmare then faced KO in a Steel Cage Match. The champion narrowly defeated Owens and stood tall with both titles in his hand.

The American Nightmare then interacted with the live audience where he revealed that he would appear on tonight’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown. Cody Rhodes was out of action since Saturday Night’s Main Event 2024, where Kevin Owens hit a Package Piledriver on the champion after losing the title match.

Tonight’s SmackDown will unfold a new chapter in the Cody-Kevin saga. Let's take a look at three things Cody Rhodes could do on the blue brand upon his much-awaited comeback:

#3. Cody Rhodes could challenge Kevin Owens to a Last Man Standing Match

Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens have locked horns twice this year at major premium live events, KO has lost both bouts, but despite losing The Prizefighter has been claiming that Rhodes has not defeated him clean yet.

Therefore, upon his return, The American Nightmare could kick off SmackDown with his enraged promo. He could call Kevin Owens out and challenge for the high-stakes third match. This time Rhodes could propose a Last Man Standing bout to settle the score once and for all.

#2. Cody Rhodes might get engaged in a brawl

Kevin Owens has been a constant nuisance to Cody for months now. Rhodes might rush out during tonight's Friday Night SmackDown in search of Kevin Owens to punish him. Former friends could get into a heated brawl backstage to viciously hurt one another.

Both stars might even bust each other open adding an intense flavour to their saga. This move will add an extra layer of excitement to their ongoing storyline.

#1. The American Nightmare might call out Triple H and Nick Aldis

Cody could open tonight's edition of Friday Night SmackDown. However, in a shocking turn of events, instead of calling Kevin Owens out for his actions, The American Nightmare could call out Triple H and Nick Aldis. Rhodes can blame them for failing to control The Prizefighter and not punishing him for trying to end his and Randy Orton's career by using banned moves.

The champion could allege Triple H and company have been secretly supporting Owens in what he has been doing for the past month. However, These points are speculative for now. It remains to be seen what plans the creative team might have in store for this storyline.
