Top Segment For WWE SmackDown On August 23 Set Up Today On Social Media

Cody Rhodes wants to show Grayson Waller how much of a bad guy he can be.

And he wants to do it this Friday night.

Ahead of the August 23 episode of WWE SmackDown, "The American Nightmare" and the A-Town Down Under member have been going back-and-forth on social media, culminating in the WWE Universal Champion inviting him for a "chat" on the WWE on FOX blue brand program scheduled for Friday night.

"I can’t wait for the day people wake up and realise that Cody Rhodes has always been the bad guy in the ‘story’," Waller said in the post on X on Thursday that got the ball rolling.

Rhodes fired back just over two hours later with a bold response.

"Interesting take Grayson Waller, how about we have a chat tomorrow on SmackDown and I can show you how much of a 'bad guy' I can be," Rhodes said.

Make sure to join us here on Friday night at 8/7c for live WWE SmackDown results.
