| 0:00.0 | Tonight was the return of John Sina and Cody Rhodes to Smackdown. We have not seen John Sina on this show in many, many weeks. I don't even remember the last time, honestly, before tonight that we had a John Sina appearance here on Smackdown. And Cody Rhodes has not been seen on Smackdown since WrestleMania 41, whatever that last Smackdown was. |
| 0:23.8 | So it's been a while. |
| 0:24.7 | But both men were on Saturday night's main event this past weekend to set up the big tag team match for money in the bank next weekend, |
| 0:33.1 | which is going to have John Sina and Logan Paul as tag team partners taking on Cody Rhodes and Jay Uso. |
| 0:39.2 | And all four men were in the closing segment here on this show tonight in a building that they said was sold out and looked packed and had over 14,600 people. |
| 0:53.6 | But for large chunks of this show and many of the matches on this show, you may well have had 2,000. |
| 0:58.8 | You could have lied to me and said there were 2,500 people in the building, and I would have |
| 1:03.3 | believed it. |

| 1:11.8 | were cheering for John Sina when he came out and they were booing Logan Paul, who, if he does |
| 1:17.1 | nothing else, the man knows how to get heat. And they even teased at the very end of the show, |
| 1:23.5 | there was a little tease of some dissension between Sina and Logan, you know, which we'll get into when we get to that part of the segment. |
| 1:30.8 | It's very interesting because when Sina's name was brought up, you could hear cheers from the crowd tonight. |
| 1:36.2 | And even when he came out, you know, it's a mixed reaction, but there were a lot of favorable cheers and responses from the crowd. |
| 1:45.1 | And it's clear to see what they're doing here, which is that they are taking the most |
| 1:49.4 | hated man, or one of the most hated men in WWE and Logan Paul. |
| 1:54.0 | And they're associating him. |
| 1:55.2 | They're tying him in with John Cena to ensure that in Cody's big comeback match, |
| 1:59.9 | the reaction is exactly what they wanted to be, |
| 2:02.6 | which is not to say that they have no faith whatsoever in Cody coming back that the crowds |
| 2:07.9 | are not going to be on his side or anything like that, but we started as we got closer to |
