SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, March 7th 2025: Cody Rhodes returns to SmackDown after John Cena's vicious betrayal

its a SummerSlam title shot now

So back to the 2002 stipulation? I like it.

Which sets up the storyline you were talking about pretty good.

Cause of the feuds for the title it sets up. Cody also is running out of challengers unless we turn someone else heel or do a face vs face feud.

I'd go Jacob Fatu for a few months before he's 100% babyface bc that's gonna happen QUICK

Yeah, I’m fine with this. Summer slam is their second biggest show of the year which should be a good enough show to have Cena win his 17th title. And you get that five months of build between mania and Summer slam to do everything else we need to do.

This.

On both. Jacob and Cody would be a killer program and yes, Fatu is 100% gonna be a baby face pretty soon.

one thing I do know is that Cena isn’t turning babyface right after Mania regardless if he wins or not. No way in hell they’re turning him heel for one month and one match

if they go Kotr (again not a requirement) that's still 2 months to turn back, idk how I'd do it myself tho admittedly

Negativity parade

 

[Ricky Smarks]

There's much more positivity and less toxicity here especially with Deezy gone

I don’t know I think right now Daisy alone would be eating up this whole rock and Cena heel turn. He’d be having the time of his life I think.

Best Tight Tits In The World?

I back the Street Profits throughout the whole thing

I don’t know I think right now Daisy alone would be eating up this whole rock and Cena heel turn. He’d be having the time of his life I think.

He'd also be probably saying something casually racist about Michin.

Oh my fucking god he’s not winning kotr. What is wrong with you

 

[Chris]

If Cena does win the title he better be heel until like the last day before he retires and have a long run

 

[Chris]

Oh my fucking god he’s not winning kotr. What is wrong with you

did you see where I said it wasn't a requirement, you're focusing on KOTR more than me lmao
