Below are a couple of top SmackDown news stories of the day.
• After last night’s SmackDown went off the air, two dark (untelevised) matches took place. Below are the results:
– Awesome Truth (c) def. The Judgment Day to retain the World Tag Team Championship
– Damian Priest (c) def. Kofi Kingston to retain the World Heavyweight Championship
• During the Cody Rhodes vs. Logan Paul contract signing segment on SmackDown, it was revealed that both the Undisputed WWE Championship and the United States Championship will be on the line.
However, Logan said this isn’t what he agreed to and tore the contract. Logan had his lawyer bring a new contract stating that this match will only be for the WWE Championship.
Logan said like his brother Jake Paul said to his next victim Mike Tyson, he said the same to Cody – sign the contract, big boy.
Cody said a WWE Hall of Famer (Tyson) is going to knock out Jake, and a future WWE Hall of Famer (himself) is going to do the same to Logan in 8 days in Saudi Arabia.
Rhodes signed the contract. Logan tried to attack him, but Cody ducked and clotheslined Logan out of the ring. One of Logan’s friends tried to attack Cody from behind, but Cody powerbombed him through a Table.
The individual who played Paul’s assistant during the table powerbomb spot was indy wrestling champion Papi D. In addition to his wrestling career, Papi D is also an actor, model, host, content creator, dancer, and personal trainer.
Currently, Papi D holds the title of Florida Heavyweight Champion with the I Believe In Wrestling promotion based in Orlando. He is scheduled to compete in a title unification match against Florida Cruiserweight Champion Raylan Bennett at an event on Saturday, June 1.
