We continue smackdown with the Inventor of the move, The "Rhodeside bomb", a devastating move where he hoists you up for what appears to be a chokeslam, only for it to be a powerbomb! Luke Rhodes will close the show before the Fatal Four way Elimination match! Right now on Smackdown!

Commentary guide:
MC = Michael Cole
PM = Pat McAfee
CM, PB, or Punk = Phil Brooks, AKA "CM Punk"

(PM) "And here comes Luke. Such a presence in the ring, you can feel the respect the WWE universe has for this guy, anyone who watches any other promotions KNOWS how good this guy is!"

(MC) "I think we may be able to say, he's the best in the world right now!"

(Punk) "Excuse you?"

(MC) "Oh... i.... Uh... that just slipped..."

(Punk) "I'm just gonna pretend you didn't say that, Michael Cole. We're gonna listen to this guy and shut the hell up, ok?"

(PM) "I can't wait for this guy to speak 'Is mind!"

Luke grabbed a mic from the maintenance guy. "So, In a few moments, 'Mr. Oversell' Ziggler, 'The Prizefighter', Former Universal Champion Kevin Owens, The 'Undisputed Jackass' Adam Cole..."

(PM) "Ha! It's funny because it's true!"

Luke continued. "...And the man who calls himself 'Main Event'. A Former Intercontinental Champion. And most importantly, the real reason Roman Reigns didn't lose his title to Kevin Owens... Jey Uso. Even If Jey wins the rumble, You'll get your ass handed to you by absolutely anyone who holds the world title belt. Im pretty sure Zack Ryder couldve kicked your ass! I'm not even trying to insult you, I'm just spewing the facts. Jey couldn't beat Roman, he went 8-23 in matches from March 6, 2020 to April 31, 2021. What about that screams "Main event"? I'm pretty sure four of those wins were before he joined Roman, One was a battle royale, the other three were tag team matches. Jey isn't a Main eventer. He's barely even Midcard these days. Dolph Ziggler. I don't have much to say about you, negatively speaking. Former two time world heavyweight champion, many times holding the U.S. and I.C. Titles. Multi Time tag champion with Bobby Roode and Drew McIntyre. Successful Superstar... But stop complaining that it should've been you when you know you're not the best one around anymore. And Then there's Adam Cole. You lose your title to the Dangerous man from Amsterdam, The Dutch Destroyer, Aleister Black. Aleister has all my respect. But you, you undisputed b*tch... I have none for you. You turned on your Brother, Kyle O'Reilly, and then Roderick Strong. Meanwhile, Bobby Fish was in the Hospital. You made it all about championships that you never would regain. You were never gonna beat Finn Balor! You sure as hell can't beat Karrion Kross, so you fled NXT with your tail between your legs. So then you ran to Raw. Then Aleister kicked your ass only five weeks into your open challenge, so you hightail it to Smackdown to try and save face. Guess what? Won't work, pal. You can think you'll win this match, but I know better. I know for a fact You'll be pinned tonight, One Two Three. And Since you think it's ok to march onto smackdown and declare your rumble entry by entering this match, I thought, 'Why Not?'. I'm entering the rumble this year. But as for what number? That's classified. And call this a hot take... When the night's over, Adam Cole will be crying like a little 'Bay-Bay'." Luke dropped his mic as Dolph Ziggler's music hit.

Luke exited the ring, taking a seat next to CM Punk at the Commentary table.

After him, out came Kevin Owens & Jey Uso, and Lastly...

(Pat) "Say what you want about Adam Cole. 2nd longest reigning NXT Champ, Former North American champ, former NXT Tag champ, Former U.S. Champ, Participant in the first 4 War Games matches, whatever. He's still a stuck-up, selfish crybaby, and I tried telling everyone on NXT but no one listened!"

(Luke) "I remember that, I knew there was a backstab coming from Cole, it was just a matter of time. Eventually, Titles and Illusions of Gold overtake friendships, and it's awful. Jey Uso used his cousin's success to project him into the alleged 'Isle of Relevancy'. Cole betrayed people to get one title match. It's unbelievable, honestly!"

(Cole) "The Four man elimination match begins once Cole enters the ring and the bell rings..."

*Ding ding ding!*

(Cole) "Here we go, Owens going right after Uso and Cole starting off trading blows with Dolph Ziggler! This match is Fatal Four way, Falls count anywhere, No Disqualifications... It's a Mass Chaos Match!"

(Luke) "If you remember correctly, Me & Rico invented this match before we came to WWE and it's honestly the most brutal but fun match I've been a part of." 

(MC) "Adam Cole, pounding on Ziggler in the corner, Meanwhile Owens hurling Uso through the ropes down to ringside. Uso, reaching under the ring and, oh boy." 
(Punk) "That would be a Kendo stick and a steel chair. You've seen thousands of each, don't act so surprised, Michael Cole." 
(MC) "Owens to ringside, Uso with the kendo stick shot to Owens! Kevin to his knees, Uso repeatedly striking with that kendo stick, Owens just getting pummeled here!" 
(P.M.) "And Dolph turned it around in the ring, Now pushing back Adam Cole!" (Luke) "Get your shit together, Owens. Don't make me do this myself." (Punk) "Don't get me wrong, Dolph's awesome but I never liked the fact that he started wearing pants." 
(PM) "That sounds wrong, Phil, but what is wrong is Adam Cole is in that ring like the cocky S.O.B. I told everyone he was!" 
(MC) "Owens, to his feet, and a Chair shot to the back by Uso! Into the cover! One! Tw... No He kicks out at one and a half! Meanwhile, Dolph pushed back by Cole, WOAH! Superkick by Ziggler, Stuns Adam Cole! Dolph looking for the Zig Zag here on Cole, And OH! Cole counters, kick to the Shin, to the middle rope..." 
(PM) "C'mon, Dolph! Do something!" "Cole with the PANAMA SUNRISE! Cover on Ziggler, One! Two! Three! Dolph Eliminated!" 
(Luke) "Damn, man. This is why it shouldn't be you, Dolph."
(MC) "With that, Ziggler is locked in at entry number 4 in the 2022 Royal Rumble!
(PM) "Now Just because he got lucky and dodged that Zig Zag doesn't mean Cole can win this."
(Punk) "If you're done talking about Dolph and Adam, Kevin and Jey brought the fight back to the ring."
(MC) "Uso brought out a table! Owens grabbed a baseball bat and a sledgehammer! Cole in the middle of it, picks up a kendo stick! Table set up now!"
(PM) "This will not end well for anybody!"
(Luke) "Hopefully, Kev can pull through."
(MC) "Uso and Cole right after Owens! It's a double team! They're stomping him down now! Uso going up top!"
(PM) "He's going for it! Here it comes!"
(MC) "THE USO SPL-NO! WHAT?!? ADAM COLE HIT A SUPERKICK ON USO AS HE WENT FOR THE USO SPLASH! Cole steps back, Owens using the ropes to stand, he can't believe it! Adam Cole has saved Kevin Owens!"
(PM) "He Didn't save Owens, he just didn't want to go one on one with Jey Uso!"
(MC) "Uso, on wobbly legs. Owens, kick, STUNNER! Cover now! One! Two! Three! Uso is gone!"
(PM) "Jey Uso locks in at Number 9!"
(Punk) "This is interesting now. And as a participant in the 2014 rumble, where I lasted until the final 4 from the number one entry, There's a huge difference to be decided here. Entering number 13 versus entering number 28? That's like the difference between running 20 miles compared to running a 400 meter sprint!"
(MC) "Owens not even given time to get up, Cole beating on him with that sledgehammer! Owens struggles to his knees, Cole off the ropes, LAST SHOT! IT'S OVER!"
(PM) "NO!"
(ref) One...
(MC) "Cole's Gonna do it!"
(ref) Two...
(PM) "God, No, Kevin Please!"
(ref) Thr...
(MC) "KICKOUT BY OWENS!!! HOW DID HE DO IT?"
(PM) "YES! YES! A HUNDRED TIMES YES!"
(Punk) "Well, Michael Cole, Kevin did this thing called a kickout where he has enough energy and willpower left to raise a shoulder up off the mat. It's basic stuff, Michael Cole, You didn't know that?"
(MC) "I did but I-"
(Punk) "How can we be sure you're even qualified for this job?"
(MC) "L-Let's just focus on the match, please?"
(PM) "Kevin's back on his feet, Adam Cole rushin' em! Owens counters with a punch, right to the chest!"
(MC) "Cole rebounds, Superkick! He looks like he's getting ready for another Panama Sunrise!"
(Luke) "Screw this, I'm ending it."

Luke rose from the table, threw off his headset, and slid in the ring.

(PM) "What's he doing? Luke Rhodes ain't even in the match!"
(MC) "OH GOD! Rhodes with the Claymore! Floors Adam Cole! Now he's lifting Cole to his feet, now he has Cole by the throat, Hoists him up into powerbomb position! It's gonna be a RHODESIDEBOMB! THROUGH THE TABLE! COLE IS OUT COLD!"
(Punk) "Hey, Adam, count how many lights are on the ceiling for me, will ya?"
(MC) "Crawling into the cover goes Owens!"
(ref) One... Two... Three!
*Ding Ding Ding*
(Ring announcer) "Here is your winner, and the 28th entrant in the Royal Rumble Match... Kevin Owens!"
(MC) "Kevin Owens wins the match with a little help from Luke Rhodes!"
(Punk) "I Wonder what will happen on Monday, considering the events of this episode of Smackdown?"
