March 13, 2026. SmackDown rolled into Phoenix, and honestly, the whole vibe changed fast. Cody Rhodes had just stunned everyone last week by taking the title from Drew McIntyre, so you could feel the electricity before the show even started.
The main event? A contract signing between Cody and Randy Orton, student versus mentor, both locked in for the WrestleMania main event at Allegiant Stadium. You could see the tension just building as they sat across from each other, both knowing what was at stake: the Undisputed WWE Championship.
But then Drew McIntyre, still reeling from his loss, stormed out and went straight for GM Nick Aldis. The argument got heated, and then McIntyre did something nobody expected. The whole place went dead silent, like everyone knew things had just changed in a big way.
Meanwhile, Jacob Fatu kept lurking around, and the Wyatt Sicks showed up again, making it clear their chaos isn't over. With just over a month until WrestleMania, SmackDown feels completely different now. The Road to WrestleMania just got a lot wilder.

WrestleMania 42 Contract Signing Ends In Chaos
Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton closed out the night, sitting across from each other, ready to make their Undisputed WWE Championship match official. At first, you could feel the respect between them, old Legacy teammates, familiar faces. Then Jelly Roll showed up, and things got weird fast. Out of nowhere, Orton snapped. He hit Jelly Roll with a vicious RKO that left the Phoenix crowd in shock. Cody just stood there, stunned.
Orton didn't even flinch; he just locked eyes with Cody. No doubt about it, "The Viper" doesn't care who he takes down if it means walking out of WrestleMania 42 as a fifteen-time world champion.
