Enter Randy Orton. \u201cThe Viper\u201d is back and filling the Cody void by getting right in Drew\u2019s face with an RKO as McIntyre was concluding his promo in front of the Dublin crowd. My gut tells me we\u2019ll be getting a one on one match at Clash in Paris between \u201cThe Scottish Psychopath\u201d and \u201cThe Apex Predator.\u201d The match should deliver and I could see Cody returning as a post match angle to set up an Undisputed WWE Championship match with Drew at Wrestlepalooza in Indianapolis, IN.<\/p>\n<h3>JOHN CENA vs. LOGAN PAUL<\/h3>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">Logan Paul was gold on the mic this week. Brash, arrogant, and ready to go. Cena had a solid retort, making this a compelling matchup. The feel good Cena win would be nice at Clash in Paris, but I think the smart choice is for Paul to go over and solidify a future championship match.<\/div>\n<h3>WWE WOMEN\u2019S CHAMPION TIFFANY STRATTON vs. THE SMACKDOWN WOMEN\u2019S ROSTER<\/h3>\n<p>A special appearance by Becky Lynch this week led to the first face off between Tiffany Stratton and \u201cThe Man\u201d since their rivalry in NXT. I would love to see these two have a proper singles match on the main roster, but for now this tag match in Dublin will have to suffice. As it stands, I see Tiffany Stratton continuing her title reign on Smackdown into 2026, despite a rematch between her and Jade Cargill appearing to be on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-show covering the latest episode of Smackdown: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/wwe-smackdown-post-show-8-22-keller-corbridge-react-to-cena-bringing-it-on-the-mic-against-logan-paul-cena-s-top-guy-iq-discussed--67485952\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cwade Keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WWE SMACKDOWN POST-SHOW (8\/22) - Keller &amp; Corbridge react to Cena bringing it on the mic against Logan Paul, Cena's &quot;Top Guy IQ&quot; discussed\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=67485952&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>SAMI ZAYN &amp; JIMMY USO vs. WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPION SOLO SIKOA AND MFTS<\/h3>\n<p>As a viewer, I\u2019m struggling to take MFTs seriously. The faction does not have any teeth and Sami and Jimmy felt like the alphas in their backstage conversation with the Samoan stable this week.<\/p>\n<h3>THE MIZ vs. CARMELLO HAYES<\/h3>\n<p>More tensions this week with The Miz tagging himself in at Carmello Hayes\u2019 expense. However, the team keeps picking up wins and may very well capture tag team gold, but how long can Carmello tolerate the disrespect from \u201cThe Awesome One\u201d?<\/p>\n<h3>WWE WOMEN\u2019S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS ALEXA BLISS &amp; CHARLOTTE FLAIR vs. CHELSEA GREEN, PIPER NIVEN &amp; ALBA FYRE<\/h3>\n<p>Piper Niven\u2019s singles win over Charlotte Flair adds momentum to this budding feud, who was without her partner Alexa Bliss this week. As much as I want Chelsea Green to keep rising the ranks, I imagine Charlotte and Alexa hold on to the titles for a few months and move past Green, Niven and Alba Fyre.<\/p>\n<h3>ALEISTER BLACK vs. DAMIEN PRIEST<\/h3>\n<p>The brawl between these two tonight built intrigue for their eventual match. Looking forward to seeing these two men lock up as they both need a win and would like to break out of the upper mid card, enter the main event scene and compete for the WWE Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading!
