Issues are heating up quick on the blue model, and WWE may be gearing as much as elevate the stakes even larger for subsequent week’s SmackDown.
Through the October 10 episode of SmackDown at RAC Area in Perth, Drew McIntyre ambushed Jacob Fatu backstage, triggering a serious response. SmackDown Basic Supervisor Adam Pearce wasn’t having it and shortly made the match official for the October 17 episode in San Jose, California.
However now it seems like this showdown might imply much more than simply bragging rights. In keeping with Dave Meltzer within the October 10 version of the Wrestling Observer Publication, there’s extra to this match than meets the attention.
“Drew McIntyre vs. Jacob Fatu is listed as a match the place the winner would get a shot at Cody Rhodes for the world title.”
Whereas WWE hasn’t formally added that stipulation to the match but, it’s very potential an announcement might come earlier than subsequent week. With Survivor Sequence on the horizon and Cody Rhodes set to defend his title, WWE might use this match to find out his subsequent challenger.
McIntyre has been on a warpath these days, whereas Fatu has confirmed himself as an unstoppable pressure since arriving on SmackDown. Including a world title alternative to the combo would make this already explosive match a possible game-changer.
SmackDown has no low season, and this may very well be the following chapter in shaping WWE’s principal occasion image as we head towards Crown Jewel and Survivor Sequence.
