Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown from New Orleans with The Rock returning to make a MAJOR announcement for WrestleMania next year, but also to call out Cody Rhodes in one of the most bizarre segments you'll ever see. He discusses what he thinks it all means, and it could take things in some very interesting directions, but that doesn't make the segment any less weird. But thankfully he was there because outside of that segment, this show is stuck IN THE MUD.

| 0:38.4 | Orleans next year. And so the belief was that he was going to be on the show tonight to |
| 0:42.7 | announce the new location for WrestleMania. But you had to expect that he was probably going to |
| 0:48.7 | be there for more than just that. And we did in fact get the announcement that WrestleMania |
