How will Drew McIntyre explain his vicious attack on Cody Rhodes? What happened in the locker room also led to a melee in the arena on WWE SmackDown?

Last week, WWE champion Drew McIntyre brutally assaulted Cody Rhodes, leaving many wondering what would happen when the two locked horns this week. Meanwhile, the feud between Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Intercontinental Champion Roman Reigns also continued to simmer.

The episode began with McIntyre addressing the WWE universe for the first time since the attack. The Scottish Psychopath claimed that he had changed his mind about wanting to face the best that the blue brand had to offer. Instead, he expressed his desire to dominate everyone and everything, reiterating his mantra, "might is right."

The segment ended with McIntyre warning WWE officials to ensure that he faces the most worthy challenger at Summerslam, or else.

Also on SmackDown, multiple tag team matches took place, setting the stage for partner changes and unexpected alliances.

In a massive six-man tag, The Usos teamed up with Intercontinental Champion Roman Reigns to take on the team of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens alongside their mystery partner. Owens and Zayn seemed to be close to winning multiple times, especially when Zayn locked Jey Uso in his patented Helluva Kick position. However, Zayn seemed reluctant to execute the move, which allowed Roman Reigns to make the save. Ultimately, the interference backfired, leading to the Usos and Reigns picking up the win with a huge triple powerbomb.

The friction between former friends turned foes, Ricochet and Mustafa Ali, also continued to brew. The two teamed up to take on the bruising duo of Sheamus and Butch of The Brawling Brutes in a fierce tag team match. While Ali and Ricochet had some incredible tandem moves, ultimately, Ali turned on Ricochet, allowing Sheamus to pick up the victory.

In another compelling matchup, Carmelo Hayes and The Miz faced off against Imperium's Fabian Aichner and Giovanni Vinci, aka Fraxion. Despite some impressive displays of power and teamwork from the Imperium members, Hayes and The Miz emerged victorious.

The night culminated in a wild brawl between two factions who have been at each other's throats in the past few weeks. The collective groups of The New Day, The Viking Raiders, and Drew McIntyre faced off against The Bloodline, Sheanks, Zayn, and Owens in a massive 15-man melee.

The battle raged across the arena, with both teams using their unique skills and strengths. In the end, the united team of RAW and SmackDown invaders seemed to have the upper hand when McIntyre grabbed a chair and brutally attacked Cody Rhodes, who was guarding The Bloodline's locker room.

SmackDown ended with a shocked WWE universe and officials, staring at the broken form of the reigning Intercontinental Champion, a shocking end to a wild episode of SmackDown.

What will be the fallout of these attacks? Will Cody Rhodes be okay? Who will step up to Drew McIntyre? We'll have to wait and see next week on SmackDown.
