In the recent episode of WWE SmackDown, Candice LeRae and Nia Jax aimed to meddle with Trish Stratus and Tiffany Stratton but things didn’t unfold as they had hoped.
Stratton was slated to compete against Chelsea Green following Green and Piper Niven’s interruption of the starting segment involving Stratton and Stratus. Jax and LeRae intruded in the bout later, attacking Stratton and Stratus, who successfully fended them off. The contest will now extend to WWE Elimination Chamber this Saturday, where Jax and LeRae will face Stratton and Stratus.
The latest episode of WWE SmackDown also saw CM Punk exchange some thoughts with Cody Rhodes on The Rock’s proposition to him.
Before the main event, in a backstage conversation, Punk inquired about the deal offered by The Rock, which involved trading his soul. Punk affirmed that in his younger days, he might have taken up such an offer, but now he wanted Rhodes to reject it.
Punk urged Rhodes to “shine it up real good, turn it sideways, and shove it up Rock’s ‘part-time Hollywood candy ass.’” He stressed that his success stemmed from trusting his inner voice and passion rather than opting for shortcuts.
We see what you did there, @CMPunk

On the main segment of this week’s WWE SmackDown episode, The Rock presented a daring proposal to Cody Rhodes, urging him to accept a generous offer, including ownership of a custom truck.
While speaking to Michael Cole in the-ring, Rhodes deliberated over the proposal and its potential impact on his future. The Rock made his appearance via a video message displayed on the TitanTron, presenting Rhodes with the truck and making reference to his conversations with Dusty Rhodes, Cody’s deceased father.
Displaying a weight belt engraved with “Cody’s Soul” and the date of Dusty’s demise, The Rock conveyed his sincere emotions and expressed how Dusty’s death had shattered him. He further confesses that he wouldn’t want to endure the same pain with Cody. He wound up the segment by emphasizing his wish for Cody to be his champion and reiterated, “I love you, brother.”
