Finally, Rhodes could use the SmackDown ring to map out his reign. This would be his first TV appearance as Undisputed WWE Champion since regaining the gold, and he could deliver a passionate speech about what he wants to accomplish this time around.

He may lay out goals, promise to be a fighting champion, and ask for challengers, which naturally invites confrontations and sets up the next major program for his title reign. Fans would leave convinced a fresh, meaningful title era is now underway indeed.
