Results by Roy Nemer of Wrestleview.com
WWE SmackDown kicks off with Jacob Fatu grabbing Solo Sikoa from his car in the parking lot and attacking him. WWE officials break it up and we head inside the arena.
Live in the arena, Cody’s music hits and out he comes to the ring. We see clips of him defeating Randy Orton at Night of Champions to win the King of the Ring. He holds the King of the Ring crown as fans chant his name. He asks the fans what they want to talk about. He says before he talks about the crown, he wants to point to his wrist band and says there is a young man in Club 66, Cam who is battling leukemia. The fans give Cam a round of applause.
Talking about the crown, he says he had to beat Jey and Orton to hold the crown. He says the crown stands for where they have been and where they are going. Past kings like Booker T, Bret Hart, Steve Austin and Triple H. And it stands for where they are going, the main event of SumemrSlam. Himself, the King of the Ring against the Undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena.
Randy Orton’s music hits and out he comes to the ring. He stands face to face with Cody and tells Cody that he had told Cody that he would do whatever it took to win King of the Ring. That he would not hesitate… but at Night of Champions, he had Cody dead to rights. But he hesitated and Cody did not hesitate. Cody pulled the trigger and for that he respects Cody for it.
He won’t forget it but there is one thing he asks of Cody. He tells Cody to promise him that he will not waste the opportunity. That he will go to SummerSlam and kick John Cena’s ass.
Drew McIntyre’s music hits and out he comes to a loud pop from the fans. Drew comes out holding a microphone. He tells them both to shut up and it’s pathetic. He asks when this beta male energy took over WWE and thank God the alpha has returned. Drew tells Randy that Randy knows why he lost. He lost the psychological battle before he didn’t punt Cody. He says Cody has been buttering Orton up for months. Like a true politician, he gave Orton a big hug and a knife in his back.
And speaking of Orton’s back, his surgically repaired back. He says Orton tweaked his back at Night of Champions and someone attacked it and that was Cody. And Orton still did not punt Cody. He asks Orton what happened to him, he was the viper, the legend killer, the apex predator . He says the legend of Randy Orton is dead.
Drew turns to Cody and calls him Super Cody. He wants Cody to win at SummerSlam because he wants Cody. This is 20 years in the making, parallel careers. He wants Cody to win the title so he can be the one to rip it from his hands. And he won’t hesitate, unlike somebody. Drew turns around and Randy gives him an RKO. Orton is face to face with Cody and he walks away with Cody looking confused.
