4 Things Cody Rhodes can do on WWE SmackDown before SNME

Tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown will be the final stop before Saturday Night's Main Event. The show is set to take place in Wilkes-Barre, and the company has announced a stacked lineup for the event. Cody Rhodes has been the central figure of the blue brand for more than a year, and he is advertised to appear on tonight's show as well.

The American Nightmare is set to compete against Oba Femi in an exhibition match at Saturday Night's Main Event tomorrow. Besides, he has been involved in a heated feud with Drew McIntyre on SmackDown for the past two months. Therefore, Rhodes has a lot on his plate right now and WWE can involve him on the show in several intriguing ways.

Here are four things Cody Rhodes can do on WWE SmackDown tonight:

#4. Gets confronted by Oba Femi

Cody Rhodes has a huge challenge in the form of NXT Champion Oba Femi at Saturday Night's Main Event. The American Nightmare will step into the ring for the first time against the Nigerian powerhouse, and WWE is promoting it as a massive showdown. Therefore, fans might witness an intense confrontation between Rhodes and Femi tonight on WWE SmackDown.

The Prodigal Son could address his match with the NXT Champion tonight on the show. Oba Femi could appear to confront him in the ring. He might put the Undisputed WWE Champion on notice while claiming that he intends to destroy Cody Rhodes at SNME. WWE got limited time to build this match, and such a segment could generate some excitement ahead of the show.

#3. Call out Drew McIntyre in a heated promo

Last week, Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre were involved in a backstage brawl to start SmackDown. The American Nightmare was furious over the 40-year-old and wanted to obliterate him. Fans could witness the same intensity from Rhodes on tonight's WWE SmackDown as well. In a passionate promo, Rhodes might call out McIntyre in the ring for a fight.

While The Scottish Warrior might not show up that easily, The Prodigal Son could lay out a challenge for a fight. It could be a possible way for WWE to book the next potential showdown between the two stars in the coming weeks. Such an angle could add a few more pages to the already personal feud between Cody and Drew on WWE SmackDown.

#2. Gets involved in a massive brawl on WWE SmackDown

Cody Rhodes might not appear directly in the ring tonight. Instead, the company could show him in a massive backstage brawl with Drew McIntyre on WWE SmackDown. In the opening hour of the show, the company could show footage of McIntyre and Rhodes brawling behind the scenes, only for GM Nick Aldis to order them to leave the premises for the rest of the night.

However, the two stars might return to the show in the final hour. Drew McIntyre could instigate The American Nightmare to come out for a fight, and the two could once again brawl at the ringside. The show might end with Cody Rhodes standing tall in the ring as The Scottish Warrior retreats into the crowd. Such an angle could be an impressive shot to end the show and build excitement for next week.

#1. Compete in an impromptu match on the show

The American Nightmare has not competed on SmackDown for almost a month. WWE might feature him in an impromptu match tonight on the show. The company was reportedly planning a match between Jacob Fatu and Cody Rhodes in November. However, due to the former's injury, the company had to put that plan on a shelf. But recent reports suggest that Fatu is now clear to compete.

The Samoan Werewolf could make his return on WWE SmackDown tonight to confront The Prodigal Son. He might challenge the Undisputed WWE Champion for a match in the main event of the show. However, this match could be interfered with by Drew McIntyre, as he has problems with both men. Such an angle could craft an interesting triple threat scenario as a main event storyline for WWE in the coming weeks.
