"Cody Rhodes reminded Drew McIntyre that 15 years ago to the day, they became tag team champions in WWE.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre held a contract signing that escalated into a brawl after tense exchanges and a live tweet from McIntyre. Rhodes reminded McIntyre of their tag-team history and accused him of becoming a keyboard warrior; both signed the contract but engaged physically, with McIntyre deliberately refraining from incapacitating Rhodes so he could compete at Wrestlepalooza. SmackDown also featured a potential Brock Lesnar–Paul Heyman reunion, another dominant victory by women's tag champions Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, and Sami Zayn defending the U.S. Title. Wrestlepalooza airs Saturday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN Unlimited.
