5/10 WWE SmackDown – King And Queen Of The Ring Results – We are live from the Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, PA, where the road to King and Queen of the Ring continues. Nick Aldis is in the ring and he welcomes everyone to Smackdown. He says there are some big matches tonight, but he wants to bring out Cody Rhodes.
Nick congratulates Cody on his victory over AJ Styles at Backlash. Nick says we need to turn our attention to King and Queen of the Ring. He says he knows Cody quite well and he knows that Cody is a fighting champion and he wants to face the best as often as he can. Nick says he wanted to tell Cody his next challenger has been determined. There is no better time to introduce him than now.
Logan Paul makes his way to the ring.
Cody asks Logan what does he want to talk about. Logan says they are going to be main eventing the show in Saudi Arabia to open up the Logan Paul Levesque Era. Cody says Champion versus Champion is a challenge he likes.
Logan says people don’t care about his feelings and neither does he. He says he has some facts. Logan says he is the longest reigning champion in the WWE. He says he is the greatest attraction in this company. He had the greatest rookie year of all time. Logan says he is a superstar. Logan tells a fan in the crowd that he just met a superstar and wishes him a Happy Birthday. Logan says Cody is a superstar too. You won the Royal Rumble in 2023, but what do they remember? The mid air collision with Ricochet. You won at Wrestlemania but what was everyone talking about? Him and his brands.
Look who is taking all the credit. Three years ago, we debuted at Wrestlemania.on the same night. Since then, he has been the rocket fuel for the space ship that is WWE. His question for Cody is how can you finish the story when it isn’t even your story. He wants to talk about him knocking out Cody on top of his logo and walking out of Saudi Arabia as the champion.
Cody says he bet a lot of people stand across from you and assume ‘what a dumbass’. As fun as that would be he won’t call him an influencer or an outsider or that this is a fad for you. Cody says he knows that Logan went toe to toe with Floyd Mayweather. Fourth or fifth match, you won the US title?
Cody says he is not done. In addition to the positive things he said. You are disrespectful, self centered, and delusional. You cannot wait to use your brass knuckles. You take credit for something that isn’t isn’t theirs. It is a team. At Queen and King of the Ring, you will find out where you stand on the team.
Backstage:
AJ says he wants to talk about how he had Cody on the ropes and he had him beat. He knows it, AJ knows it, Lyon knows it. Their little sing alongs and chants distracted him. It should be him facing Logan Paul. AJ tells Cody the next time they meet, he will beat you. He says he will earn a chance for another title match. That starts tonight by winning King of the Ring. That will be a phenomenal step in the right direction.
