After SmackDown went off the air, Cody Rhodes competed in the dark main event and defeated Judgment Day’s Finn Balor.
While Knight didn’t appear on SmackDown, Cody also appeared on TV, where he cut a promo about his Backlash opponent, Brock Lesnar.
Rhodes said when he thinks about Brock Lesnar, the word that comes to his mind is ‘gatekeeper’. He said Lesnar never explained why he attacked him, but maybe he will after he gets beat by The American Nightmare.
Cody ended his promo by saying that at Backlash, he will get back on the road to finishing the story and claiming the kingdom after defeating The Beast.
