Cody Rhodes & CM Punk Finally Explode!

The SummerSlam go-home edition of SmackDown finally gave us what this rivalry needed. Cody Rhodes and CM Punk stopped talking and started throwing punches, bringing some much-needed intensity to one of WWE's biggest championship matches. It may have come a week later than many fans expected, but the physical confrontation helped make this feud feel more personal heading into SummerSlam. I'll break down whether WWE did enough to sell this match, what worked on the show, and whether the go-home episode succeeded in getting fans excited for one of the biggest events of the year. I'll also discuss the rest of SmackDown, including the surprise appearance by King Haku, and give my final thoughts on how WWE handled the final build before SummerSlam. #WWE #SmackDown #SummerSlam #CMPunk #CodyRhodes For business related inquiries contact me at: [email protected]
