Triple H can save WWE SmackDown by adding 6’6” superstar to Cody Rhodes’ current feud

Friday Night SmackDown has been draped in criticisms in recent times due to the declining quality of the show. The top champion of the brand, Cody Rhodes, has been embroiled in a heated feud with Drew McIntyre for the past two months. While the rivalry has reached a compelling juncture, it hasn't quite sparked the excitement as hoped, lacking that "wow" factor.

There's only one way Triple H can save SmackDown and prevent this feud from sinking, and this is by adding Oba Femi into it. The 6-foot-6-inch superstar battled Cody Rhodes in a first-ever match at Saturday Night's Main Event. What was supposed to be an incredible match was ruined by Drew McIntyre as the latter invaded the bout and attacked The American Nightmare.

This didn't sit well with Oba Femi, who later unleashed his wrath on The Scottish Warrior. What happened at SNME gives McIntyre a strong reason to go after the NXT Champion while continuing his feud with Cody. Triple H can incorporate this angle to add Femi to this feud on SmackDown. Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes recently invaded Drew McIntyre's home and attacked him in his vicinity.

Therefore, WWE can suspend The American Nightmare (in storyline) for his recent actions to keep him away from this storyline for some time. Meanwhile, the creative team can showcase a heated feud between Drew McIntyre and Oba Femi on the blue brand. Cody Rhodes can return just weeks before the Royal Rumble 2026 to turn it into a three-way feud.

This could pave the way for a blockbuster Triple Threat Match at Royal Rumble for the Undisputed WWE Championship. The NXT Champion's involvement in this storyline has the potential to stir fans' excitement in this rivalry. Oba Femi has always captivated the WWE Universe and therefore, his presence on Friday Night SmackDown can revive the blue brand as well.

Triple H can put WWE SmackDown at the top with just one move

Triple H has been overseeing WWE's creative operations for the past three years. What began as a phenomenal reign has now been marred by controversies due to his contentious booking decisions. One of the major and alarming issues has been SmackDown, whose stock has fallen in recent months.

However, The Game can make the Friday night show the biggest attraction once again with just one move, and this is crowning Drew McIntyre the new Undisputed WWE Champion. Fans have been vociferously clamoring to see The Scottish Warrior win the gold and have a world title run for the past few years.

McIntyre is currently at the peak of his heel run and having the gold around his waist would make things very interesting. It would ignite a fresh wave of excitement on Friday Night SmackDown and would open the doors for several incredible feuds and rivalries on the brand.

The Scottish Warrior's persona has been one of the most fascinating characters in WWE today. Therefore, one can only imagine how iconic Drew McIntyre's world title run would be if he dethrones Cody Rhodes. It has the potential to draw more fans towards the blue brand, making it the center of attraction.
