The January 30 episode of WWE SmackDown will feature fallout from Saturday Night’s Main Event. The NBC special kicked off with Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu, but the match never officially began as the two started brawling before the bell.
The segment ended with Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre attacking both Rhodes and Fatu, sending them through tables. The Scottish Warrior later attempted a sneak attack on number one contender Sami Zayn, but Zayn threw him out of the ring.
