WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: DREW HAS A BUSY FIRST NIGHT, CHARLOTTE AND JEY SCOUT THEIR MANIA OPPONENTS, HE'S BACK, THE STREET PROFITS ARE NOT HAPPY, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2025-02-07 23:00:00

Miz is with Andrade and Miz says he was impressed with Andrade last week.  Miz says Andrade could learn a lot from him.

Andrade says he has learned form him and he walks away.

Cody Rhodes walks by and Miz stops him and he says this young crop of talent has no respect for him.  Miz says they are old school and he has his back.

Cody says he doesn't need Miz to have his back.

Miz says the entire world was behind Cody because he was going to finish his story.  Now it is Jey's story.  We know how that title affects friendships.  Will you be Jey's friend if he chooses you?  Jey Uso versus Cody Rhodes in the main event of Wrestlemania is a hell of a story.

Miz leaves and Cody thinks about it.

We see John Cena announcing that he is going to be in the Elimination Chamber.

Before our next match, Drew has something to say.

Drew says screw Raw, he is back on Smackdown.  After he was eliminated on Saturday from behind by a coward, he was very angry.  He drove from Indy back to Nashville and slept in his bed full of rage.  He woke up with clarity and had an epiphany in his huge bed, in his huge house, with his hot wife.  He says he is a victim of his environment.  He says that Adam Pearce doesn't know what he is doing.  That is when his phone rang.  He says he has known Nick since they were teenagers.  He says they wanted Drew and he would be unleashed and be 100 percent Drew.  Drew says he is here for Cody.  Not Cody specifically, but he is here for what was stolen from him . . . the WWE Championship.

Jimmy Uso's music interrupts.

Jimmy asks if it isn't just him.  Every week, you come out and live in the past.  You sound like an ex-girlfriend.  They stole something from me?  You lost.  You come out here and he is acting like he doesn't have to earn his spot.  You have to get through him and LA Knight.  Jimmy says he is going to earn his spot.

Drew says a few weeks ago, he would have been angry, but he is a different man.  He apologizes to Jey but realizes it is Jimmy.  He says he still can't tell them apart after 20 years.  He says it must kill him to be where he is now.  Maybe he would be in Jey's spot if he said Yeet first.

Jimmy says he is Big Jim.  He can say yeet if he wants and the crowd repeats him.  He says he can say no yeet too.  He says he is going to cash in his chips and go to Vegas.  He tells Drew if he wants to get to Wrestlemania, he has to get through Big Jim first and then he has to get through the Elimination Chamber.  Jimmy says he is here and he will kick Drew's ass.  He says he is going to Wrestlemania.

LA Knight's music plays and he has something to say.

He says he has no love for Jim.  He is the reason why he is not the champion a year ago but he will not complain and he will take care of him tonight.  Knight says he wants to be someone who effects good change.  Knight says from the bottom of his heart, if something arises from your life and it hits you in the feels and you have to cry, it is good for you.  With that said, there is a line where it becomes too much.  There are three guarantees in life.  Death, taxes, and Drew McIntyre crying like a baby.    Knight says he heard someone call him Drew McIncrier.  They are talking about Wrestlemania and the Elimination Chamber and him giving something for both of you to cry about.

Knight says he has to get his stuff in and he gets the crowd to chant his name.
