WWE SmackDown 8/7/26 Review: Punk vs Owens EXPLODES, Orton Returns, TREMENDOUS!

Folks, SmackDown out of Philadelphia was one of the best shows I've reviewed all year, and nobody breaks it down like I do, believe me.Cody Rhodes opened the show fuming, days removed from Randy Orton costing him at SummerSlam. He called Orton out immediately, and when Randy didn't show, Cody paid a beautiful tribute to the late, great Dory Funk Jr. — a real champion's champion — then brought up finishing the story right here in Philly at WrestleMania 40. He admitted he lost to CM Punk on Saturday, assuming Punk had no idea Orton was involved. The second he said Punk's name, out came the Undisputed WWE Champion himself. Punk said it hurt to even be asked, swore he knew nothing, and offered to go beat Orton up together backstage. Cody declined — he wants Orton alone — and handed Punk the ring.Then Kevin Owens walked out, and folks, what followed was one of the best promo segments in years. Owens said he spent 17 months living with uncertainty from a career-threatening injury, proving people wrong his whole career, and called Punk an "arrogant sociopath" for offering Cody a title shot ahead of him. Punk fired back — he's the Undisputed Champion, and that makes him the Best in the World, and Owens should be grateful, because without Punk he'd be working a 9-to-5 and weekend indie dates. Owens agreed, but said Punk also showed him exactly what NOT to be — a "miserable piece of sh*t" consumed by his own ego. Security had to separate them. Tremendous television.Baron Corbin kept the U.S. Title against Trick Williams by smashing him with the belt — fine match, cheap finish. Chelsea Green's Women's Championship celebration was pure delusional heel gold — thanked herself, thanked Tiffany Stratton, got interrupted by Fatal Influence, and set up a title-for-title tag match. Fatal Influence retained and Chelsea ate the pin — why, folks? Then the Irresistible Forces attacked, and Nia Jax held the Women's Title high.Randy Orton returned to a massive Philly ovation, told Cody he owes him nothing, admitted Cody unleashed the "worst" version of him, and vowed Cody will never be champion again. Cody fired back that he's not the good guy anymore and asked Orton one chilling question: "Who Kills You?"Charlotte beat Jade Cargill in the main event after chaos from Alexa Bliss's return and a Sister Abigail tribute finish. Fine main event.LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and tell me — Punk vs. Owens or Cody vs. Orton, which feud wins the year?Visit our website ➡️➡️➡️ https://www.majesticproduction.com/Watch our full podcast here ➡️➡️➡️ anchor.fm/majestic-production🤼‍♂️ 🤼‍♂️ 🤼‍♂️ SUBSCRIBE AND RING THE BELL 🤼‍♀️🤼‍♀️🤼‍♀️SUBSCRIBE:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClOEPQb3xZXliPtYRNtUCmQFOLLOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA FOR UPDATES!https://linktr.ee/mpwmaThank you all and BE MAJESTIC!
