What Happened After WWE SmackDown Went Off The Air?, + Kayla Braxton Bids Farewell

06/29/2024 12:29 AM

Following this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Cody Rhodes cut a promo for the fans in attendance at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Prior to Cody’s promo, the following two dark matches took place:

* Awesome Truth def. Pretty Deadly
* Street Fight: Jey Uso def. Finn Balor

Following the Street Fight match, Rhodes came out and announced that a member of the WWE family was leaving. He then brought out Braxton and praised her, wishing her luck in her next chapter. Braxton cut a brief promo where she said she didn't know much when she came to WWE eight years ago and thanked everyone for everything she's learned, supporting her, and making her part of the family.

As Braxton exited the ringside area, Rhodes stated that MSG is where the story began. He talked about Dusty winning the WWWF Championship from Superstar Billy Graham and going on to raise the title on the turnbuckles. The WWWF Championship that Dusty won was then brought to the ring and Rhodes went to the corner to raise the belt to honor his father.

Additionally, it is said that Rhodes spent around 30 to 45 minutes taking photos with fans at ringside after the show.
