WWE SmackDown results, recap, grades: John Cena, Cody Rhodes book street fight for SummerSlam

Rhodes forced Cena to commit to their SummerSlam rematch

Cody Rhodes plans to beat John Cena from one corner of MetLife Stadium to the next. On Friday's WWE SmackDown, Rhodes forced Cena to sign up for a street fight at SummerSlam. 

Undisputed WWE champion Cena did everything he could to weasle out of their rematch. Unfortunately, Rhodes refused to let Cena off the hook. After forcing Cena to sign their contract, Cena vs. Rhodes 2 is set for the weekend of Aug. 2.

SmackDown also featured movement in the WWE tag team division. Andrade and Rey Fenix, who recently started teaming together, earned a shot at The Wyatt Sicks' WWE tag team titles by knocking off three other teams.

CBS Sports was with you all night with recaps and highlights of all the action from Frost Bank Center in San Antonio.

Rhodes forces Cena into street fight

Rhodes won the King of the Ring tournament at Night of Champions, guaranteeing an undisputed WWE title shot at SummerSlam. Cena tried to circumvent his duty as champion by blaming a Netflix movie he's working on and his emotional exhaustion. Cena promised he'd honor Rhodes' title shot, but not at the next pay-per-view. Rhodes would not concede, chasing down and brawling with his WrestleMania rival. Rhodes cracked Cena with the undisputed WWE title before driving him through a table with a top rope splash. Rhodes placed a pen in Cena's limp hand, physically forcing Cena's hand to sign the contract. Afterwards, Rhodes revealed the contract stipulated that their match would be a street fight.

I'm no lawyer, but I feel like contracts are voided if the signee is unconscious. Also, how did Rhodes learn to forge Cena's signature? These are moot points. Poking logic in professional wrestling is an endless battle. Rhodes' renewed viciousness and Cena's cowardice contrast nicely. Their WrestleMania match was poorly received, but a street fight allows them to distract with big spots and hide Cena's physical limitations. A solid step forward in building to their rematch. Grade: B+
