WWE SmackDown results, highlights (August 8): John Cena vs. Logan Paul set for Clash in Paris PLE
In the wake of SummerSlam weekend, Friday's episode of SmackDown headed north to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and promised visits from both John Cena and Cody Rhodes. After the "Raw after SummerSlam" delivered the goods, it was up to the blue brand to keep momentum going. Welcome back John Cena! However you may feel about the John Cena heel turn, it's hard to argue that the next four-plus months of Cena's retirement tour aren't better off because of the past four. In Cena's promo he said that the audience at home could feel the energy of the Montreal crowd through our screens, and he was absolutely correct. Just like the 60,000 strong at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night, the Montreal crowd erupted when Cena's music opened the show. Here's the reality about the Cena turn. The initial shock was immense, but with it somehow came even larger expectations. For a generations of fans who lived through Hulk Hogan joining the nWo and Seth Rollins betraying The Shield, the belief was that Cena could come close to or exceed those as a bad guy. While that didn't happen — partially due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, as Paul Heyman alluded to during his visit on The Ariel Helwani Show — we did get a record-breaking 17th championship, fresh feuds with Randy Orton and CM Punk, arguably the best match of his career against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam and now we get this final run, 11 more dates where we can appreciate Cena one more time. Cena's show-opening promo turned into a tease of his looming program with Brock Lesnar and then he issued his usual open challenge to the locker room, which Logan Paul answered. Paul challenged Cena to a match at Clash in Paris at the end of the month and, before he gave his answer, Cena was attacked by Drew McIntyre. Rhodes made the save, and the main event for the night was set. Ultimately, the main event served as a way to set up Rhodes' next challenger for the Undisputed WWE Championship, as after Paul delivered a low blow to Cena and the two fought to the back, McIntyre eviscerated Rhodes, culminating with a Claymore Kick through the announce table in a very unique spot. McIntyre vs. Rhodes will almost certainly happen at Clash in Paris. 🎉 🥳 Birthdays, buddies and beatdowns Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss remain arguably the best thing in WWE right now. The Flair-Bliss birthday segment wasn't quite "This is Your Life" or "The Festival of Friendship," but it drew great pop and continued the momentum these two have been building since being paired together. Chelsea Green — wildly underrated — interrupted, insulted the Montreal Canadiens (she's a British Columbia native) and found herself in a singles match against Flair. These two had a good TV match that culminated in the... 🎂 Uncrowned Cake of the Night 🎂 As the match reached its closing stages, Green called for her Secret Her-Vice to put a sheet cake into the ring. Green lined up to deliver an Un-Pretty-Her to Flair onto the cake that was reversed and led to a Figure Eight leg lock and submission. The subtlety in Green filling her hands with cake and spreading it on her face, enough for Flair to get a taste in the submission hold, showed the brilliance and little things that help make good moments great. New Bloodline in the hunt for the tag titles The Motor City Machine Guns lost a tag match against JC Mateo and Talla Tonga. The match itself was solid — is there ever anything lower when MCMG is involved — and it injected a much-needed new threat into the tag-team division on SmackDown. An unreal TLC match at SummerSlam resulted in the Wyatt Sicks retaining, essentially making them untouchable as champions when it comes to the other teams involved in said match. Solo Sikoa's MFT faction is one of the few that can match up from a numbers perspective with the Wyatt Sicks, so this feels like a good direction to go in, even if it has Tonga and Mateo jumping the line. In the aftermath, Solo Sikoa cut a promo and earned himself a match with hometown hero Sami Zayn. Zayn picked up a big win, utilizing his knowledge of Sikoa and his faction's tactics to please the Montreal crowd. Zayn's usually on "Raw" and faces Rusev Monday night, so the result here shouldn't throw a wrench into the United States Championship picture. 🤔 Friday findings 🤔 1. The Wyatt Sicks cut a promo that was the usual levels of cryptic and creepy, but Nikki Cross had a line that stood out, saying their actions weren't for "fame" or "glory." With Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis standing there with the tag titles on their shoulders, it sends a different message. I'm not a fan of keeping championships off TV, but it would have made sense here. 2. Sticking with the tag division, it looks like "Miz is Money" is making a return. I love this for both Carmelo Hayes and The Miz, but it also illustrates the issue with having the Wyatt Sicks on top as a dominant, supernatural faction. The same problem presents with DIY and Street Profits, who will face one another next week. 3. Aleister Black delivered one of his best promos since coming back to WWE on Friday. He should make a move up the card fast on SmackDown. 4. The R-Truth heel turn is officially over, thankfully. 👑 The path to WWE's next PLE is a lot clearer, at least at the top of the card. I'm still having a tough time with the Wyatt Sicks, but this was a good show. I give this show a Crown score of: 8/10. 👑

‘Weapons' Poised To Upset ‘Freakier Friday' At Weekend Box Office
Julia Garner and Josh Brolin's horror thriller Weapons is projected to upset Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan's comedy 'Freakier Friday' at the domestic box office this weekend. Both films are new in theaters this weekend and are delivering a one-two punch to The Fantastic Four: First Steps to knock the Disney-Marvel Studios film out of the No. 1 spot after two weeks. Directed by Barbarian filmmaker Zach Cregger, Weapons is projected by Deadline to make $38 million from 3,202 North American theaters though Sunday, with an estimated $17 million of that total coming from Friday's box office — which includes $5.7 million in Thursday previews. Meanwhile, Freakier Friday — the long-awaited Disney sequel to the 2003 body switch comedy starring Curtis and Lohan as mother and daughter— is projected by Deadline to gross $30 million from 3,975 North American theaters. Released by Warner Bros. subsidiary New Line Cinema, Weapons' projected gross is surprising, especially since it's an R-rated film, which limits its potential audience. On top of that, Weapons was projected to finish behind the PG-rated Freakier Friday by most top industry publications in its opening weekend. While Deadline had the films neck-and-neck with projections for each to open with $30 million in domestic ticket sales, The Hollywood Reporter forecast a $28 million opening for Freakier Friday and $25 million opening for Weapons. Box Office Pro, meanwhile, pegged a $35 million to $45 million opening frame for Freakier Friday and had Weapons coming in second with a projected take of $25 million to $30 million domestically. Deadline said Freakier Friday made $12 million on its opening day on Friday, including Thursday previews. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Slides To No. 3 Following a disastrous 67% drop in business from its opening weekend to its second frame last week, Disney and Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps is stumbling to the No. 3 spot on the domestic chart his weekend. After a $5 million Friday from 3,600 North American venues, Deadline is projecting a $16 million to $18 million third weekend for The Fantastic Four. If the projection holds, it will up the film's running domestic tally to $231 million to $233 million for the weekend. Universal Studios and DreamWorks Animation's animated adventure The Bad Guys 2 is projected by Deadline to earn $10.5 million from 3,860 North American theaters this weekend. If the forecast holds, it will bring the film's running tally to $43.5 million. Paramount Pictures' reboot/sequel of the comedy film series The Naked Gun is projected by Deadline to earn $8.1 million in its second weekend from 3,363 locations. If the projection holds, it will boost the Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson action comedy's running domestic tally to $32.4 million since the film's Aug. 1 opening. Note: This box office report will be updated throughout the weekend with the most recent numbers as they become available. The final numbers for this weekend's box office will be released on Monday.

Sami Zayn is once again the most over star in WWE
Tonight's (Aug. 8) episode of SmackDown in Montreal featured a tag team match where Talla Tonga and JC Mateo beat the Motor City Machine Guns. Solo Sikoa was pleased with his MFTs after the match was over and cut a promo about all the success that's coming their way. Solo hyped himself up as the greatest United States champion ever and talked trash about nobody being there in Montreal to fight him. That's when General Manager Nick Aldis interrupted and said he had a special opponent in mind for Sikoa tonight. Sami Zayn's music hit, and his hometown fans lost their frickin' minds. The Montreal crowd responded to Sami like it was early 2023 all over again when he was the most over star in WWE. The MFTs tried their best to screw Sami over, but he overcame their bullshit and rolled up the champ for the win in this non-title bout. This guy looks like a future babyface world champion to me. I'm just sayin'. Make it happen, WWE. Catch up on all the results from SmackDown in our live blog right here.
