WWE Smackdown: Logan Paul gets called an entitled whiny b**** before being thrown across the ring by singer Jelly Roll
Smackdown opened with a segment involving LA Knight, who was interrupted by Paul 'Wiseguy' Heyman. Before Heyman could find some footing in the segment, though, the current US champion Solo Sikoa showed up with his entire clique. He bragged about beating the man (Jacob Fatu) who beat LA Knight at WrestleMania, and gave Knight the option to remove himself from the ring. When Knight refused this offer, Solo's entire pack surrounded the ring, ready to attack, just as Jimmy Uso showed up out of nowhere to help even the odds. With steel chairs in hand, the duo of Knight and Jimmy fended off the attack, and this might be an indication of a team matchup that we might see in the future.

Later in the episode, the entire arena was singing along to a live performance by Jelly Roll when Logan Paul intervened and stopped the show. Logan proceeded to accuse Jelly of leeching off of WWE and called him an outsider, a term that ignited very visible anger in Orton, who came out to the ring and told Logan to shut up. Orton said, 'The only one who is an outsider here is you (Logan). I need you to listen to me really well, you entitled whiny b*****. Everyone back there in the locker room works so hard and moves heaven and earth to make you look good.' Before Orton could continue his verbal assault, though, Drew McIntyre attacked him. Security intervened and took McIntyre outside the ring when Logan saw his chance and attacked Orton, who was already down. Jelly Roll initially looked confused, but he walked up to Logan, grabbed his hair and threw him across the ring.
The rest of the show had some interesting matches as well, with the Wyatt Sicks winning the tag team championship and Ron 'R-Truth' Killings beating Aleister Black. Trish Stratus and Tiffany Stratton went for each other on the mic before their scheduled match during Evolution on Sunday. There are two major events lined up for the weekend, with Saturday Night's Main Event starting things off and the all-women premium event Evolution closing out the week.

John Cena turns face ahead of SummerSlam 2025, but there's something fishy about it
John Cena, who embraced the dark side at Elimination Chamber 2025 this March, seemingly turned face on the August 1 episode of SmackDown. This came less than two days before he defends the WWE Undisputed Championship against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2025 Night 2 this Sunday (August 3). Needless to say, this created a great deal of buzz in the industry. However, something just does not feel right about it. In fact, this may even signify the beginning of a sinister plan on the 48-year-old star's part. Here's what John Cena said on SmackDown tonight John Cena came face-to-face with Cody Rhodes for the final time before SummerSlam 2025 on the latest episode of SmackDown. He cut a heartfelt promo in which he reflected on turning heel at Elimination Chamber and implied that he regretted the decision. He then took a shot at The Rock, the in-storyline mastermind behind the heel turn, and Travis Scott for 'abandoning' him after he embraced the dark side. 'The people that were supposed to be on my team left, and they left me alone trying to pretend to be something I'm not,' he said. Travis Scott was by The Rock's side when Cena assaulted Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber. He also interfered in the main event of WrestleMania 41, helping 'The Franchise Player ' win the Undisputed title from 'QB1'. The 'face turn' could be just another trick on heel Cena's part On paper, Cena's face turn seems to be the natural way to go as he will be retiring from in-ring competition in December. However, tonight's segment may not have truly marked the re-emergence of 'face Cena'. The star turned heel at Elimination Chamber, a Premium Live Event, after Cody Rhodes and The Rock's segment. Storyline wise, it had some buildup and (at least momentarily) shook the foundation of the WWE. By contrast, the face turn took place on SmackDown, a weekly show. Moreover, there was limited (if any) buildup. In fact, Cena displayed full heel characteristics at Night of Champions when he pinned an weakened CM Punk moments after he had been assaulted by Seth Rollins. As such, storyline-wise, it makes little sense. Therefore, there is a possibility of the face turn being a ruse. If this is indeed the case, Cena may use under-handed tactics in his bid to beat Rhodes at SummerSlam 2025. The event will be held on August 2 and August 3 at Met Life Stadium. Cena and Thodes will be closing out the second night. Gunther and Punk, on the other hand, will be main-eventing the first. SummerSlam 2025 will also see the likes of Roman Reigns, Rhea Ripley, Jacob Fatu, and The Motor City Machine Guns in action.
