(Read Edge 2008-2013 ((Stop at WrestleMania 27))
Chris Jericho had just ended his two rivalry with Edge at WrestleMania 27 in a Last Man Standing match. Jericho now stands as the ''old man'' of SmackDown. Jericho sees himself in a SmackDown that's quickly changing and changing in very big ways. Jericho soon sees this a honor and a Gold Rush Tournament for the surplus of SmackDown talent looking for title shots. Cody Rhodes had won, and Rhodes had came off hot victory at Mania 27 defeating Rey Mysterio. Rhodes's cutthroat attitude is able to own up to Jericho very quickly and Rhodes is quick to attack the champion at every cost. Rhodes is still met with a man who's been around the block for 20 plus years. The experiences clashes with the ruthless nature. Jericho defeats Rhodes at Backlash 2011 and at Over The Limit 2011. This drives Rhodes nuts in the fact, he cannot beat Jericho. Rhodes has personally gone insane, and is trying to create a union against Jericho. But, many young stars see Rhdoes as insane. Rhodes enlists the one man who believes in him, Ted Dibiase. Ted Dibiase targets Jericho, until Christian saves Jericho from the attack. These two men have had storied histories once friends, once enemies and enemies again. Christian saves a friend in need no matter how bad things were. Christian looks to pushing together a new friendship. Jericho and Christian as built as a badass verteran duo. Jericho and Christian take things to new level defeating Priceless in Tag Team TLC with Jericho's World Title on the line. Christian is reawarded by Jericho a title shot, and Christian almost refuses. Jericho and Christian square off at Great American Bash 2011. Jericho wins, but it was close. Teddy Long sees how much ratings and the fan enjoyment he wants Christian to have another shot but he'll have to earn it. Christian defeats Rhodes, Dibiase in triple threat to Summer Slam 2011. Christian once again is defeated by Jericho, only this time Christian gets very frustrated and doesn't shake hands with Jericho. Many miscommunications occur with these two and leads to some slight bad blood mounted for Night of Champions 2011, with Christian facing Cody Rhodes,(Insert someone) Chris Jericho, and Ted Dibiase in a Championship Scramble with Jericho winning only hairs away from losing to Christian in the final seconds. Christian pleads with Jericho, and Jericho seems to have moved on with the idea of facing Christian. Christian goes on mission to prove himself by defeating Cody Rhodes at Vengeance 2011. Jericho defeats Ted Dibiase for the World Heavy Weight Championship at Vengeance. It comes down to the 2011 Survivor Series after Jericho and Ted Dibiase had broken into a brawl on the SmackDown after Vengeance and Jericho had taken Dibiase out before the Battle Royal that was set for title at the world title. Christian had taken Dibiase's place and last eliminated Rhodes to win it all. Christina and Chris Jericho one more time at Survivor Series 2011 and this time all the frustrations mounted. This time, a hotel attack just like 2008 took Christian out it was suspected to be by Priceless. Edge had returned in Christian's place and defeated Jericho at Survivor Series 2011. It had been revealed Edge had returned and had paid off Priceless to take Christian out. And Edge had screwed Priceless off with it as well, Christian back in the hunt, and Chris Jericho wanting his tittle. Armageddon 2011 was a big one and a 5 man Hell in a Cell was made for it, and Edge escaped victorious. Edge would defeat Christian in a Last Man Standing at the Rumble and go on to defeat (Insert someone) at No Way Out 2012 for the title. While, Christian proved everyone wrong and defeated Jericho in 1# contenders match to not only end his feud with Jericho but get the right to get his revenge. Christian would defeat Edge for the World Championship in a TLC at WrestleMania 28 ending Edge's career.
The Era of Christian reigned over SmackDown, but Christian was about to face a world of new challenges. Christian first was confronted in a interesting program with Zack Ryder who had turned heel after vowing to avenge Edge's career. Zack Ryder would be defeated at back to back paperviews at Backlash 2012 and Over The Limit 2012 with Christian putting down Ryder at Over The Limit with a con-chair to. Christian would soon gain a attitude as one would say, much more agressive then what we had seen. Christian would face off with Dolph Ziggler at Extreme Rules in a Steel Cage match. Christian would be annoyed by the showerstopper and his antics. Ziggler would try to play with Christian. Christian would win by also literally snap beating Ziggler down after the match and attacking commentary crew creating double turn. Christian would shoot on everything that's happened since he retired Edge and how hes deserved this title long before 2012. Christian's ego would continue to inflate as Ziggler was out for blood after have double turn. Ziggler and Christian would face in a First Blood match at Great American Bash 2012, Christina would win. But, it was also noted Ziggler still had the briefcase. Ziggler would put on a heartfelt performance and the crowd felt it with Christian still winning. Christian's ego would be questioned at Summer Slam 2012 when Ted Dibiase in the last year distanced himself from Rhodes and feuded is now a face gained lots of attention. Christina's jealousy would get in the way and Christina would attack Dibiase to make a statement. Christian and Dibiase faced at Summer Slam 2012, with Christian DQ'ed after Dibiase was nearing victory. Dibiase would push a train of fan support building to Night of Champions 2012. Dibiase and Christian faced at Night of Champions with Christina winning after the debut of his enforcer Big E Langston. Christian mentioned hes to much of asset to SmackDown and needs to be protected at all times. Christian would be confronted with a new face in Sheamus. Sheamus who's risen to the top of the card has gotten sick of Christian running his mouth and it's time to shut it. Sheamus would be defeated by Christian at No Mercy 2012 by the help of Big E. Big E was also defeat Ted Dibiase at No Mercy 2012. Christian would continue to walk around with the title and soon would be confronted by a pissed of Dibiase, Ziggler, and Sheamus. Christian and Big E now were out numbered, until Christian paid off Cody Rhodes who still is in sick state of mind to back him up to gain revenge against Dibiase. A 3 on 3 was set for Survivor Series with team Ziggler taking the win as Ziggler last eliminating Christian. Christian would attack Rhodes with Big E and blame them for there loss. But the other 3 would demand a title shot. Dibiase would defeat Sheamus and Ziggler for a match. But, Ziggler would cash in his briefcase for Armageddon 2012. As well as Sheamus would defeat Ziggler to be added into the match. So a Fatal 4 Way was set with Ziggler taking the victory.
Ziggler would defeat Christian at the Royal Rumble 2013 in a rematch. Christian would get one more shot stacking the odds with Big E as the ref. Since Big E defeated Ziggler in a match that gave the winner choice of stipulation for No Way Out. Ziggler would win with help the return of a normal Cody Rhodes at No Way Out. Ziggler defeated Ted Dibiase at WrestleMania 29, after both men feuded on the standard of the top baby face of SmackDown. Ziggler would get the floor on WrestleMania 29, only for Dibiase to snap attacking Ziggler. Backlash 2013 showed Dibiase's change of heart but how bad Ziggler wanted revenge for Dibiase ruining his moment. Ziggler and Dibiase fought to no contest as officials had to split up both parties. Battleground 2013 took place with Dibiase defeat Ziggler in Texas Bullrope match that was bloody to the end.
The Era of Dibiase was now on SmackDown. Dibiase would now spam with Bullrope around his neck. Dibiase saw himself as the man who slayed Ziggler. Dibiase would defeat Ziggler in a I quit match at Extreme Rules in June. Dibiase saw himself holding what was always destined for him, he had a cermoeny that was only crashed by his 1# contender Sheamus. Shemaus saw Dibiase turning his back on the fans and questioned what Dibiase had become and that he was disturbed. Sheamus and Dibiase clashed at the Great American Bash with Dibiase getting a win by cheating. Dibiase would once again screw over Sheamus, only for Sheamus to defeat Dibiase the following week with the chance of earning one more shot on the line. Dibiase would lose the title if he got Dq'ed or counted out and the room to cheat out Shemaus was lowered and the odds were stacked for Summer Slam 2013. Dibiase would defeat Sheamus in the end. Dibiase then saw himself being confronted in a resurgence in the career of Goldust who had won himself a new contract. Dibiase would play off Goldust's age and the time that's passed. Dibiase would disprespect the Rhodes family and even take Cody Rhodes out of action and attack their father Dusty Rhodes. Dibiase's father would try to talk him out of it. Goldust would come very close at Night Of Champions 2013, only for Ted Dibiase Sr. to turn his back and join his son. The Dibiase's would continue to push Goldust into new extremes only for Goldust to meet those and beyond. Goldust would send message to both taking out Ted Dibiase Sr and begging for one more match. Ted Dibiase would give it to him, only if Goldusts's career was on the line. No Mercy 2013 saw Goldust and Ted Dibiase meet in one on one match that ended with Ted Dibiase ending Goldust's career in a dramatic way. Ted Dibiase would crash Goldust's SmackDown retirement only to be met by Cody Rhodes who had returned and was back for a Vengeance. Rhodes out for blood, Survivor Series 2013 saw these two old tag partners face. Ted Dibiase would flee the arena as Rhodes was a man on fire and was out to hunt for Dibiase. After the no contest, Dibiase would fear for his safety and his safety would be be assured by ''Millionaire Army'' Ted Dibiase would put a bounty on Rhodes and use personal security but it wouldn't have no use even if Rhodes was taped up for a Hell in a Cell at Armageddon 2013. Cody Rhodes would capture the title in the biggest victory of his career.
The Era of Rhodes walked us into 2014 Royal Rumble. Cody Rhodes would defeat Ted Dibiase in a Loser Leaves Town Unsanctioned match match for the World Championship. In what would some think the end of Dibiase. Cody Rhodes continued his reign as champion retaining the title in a typical Elimination Chamber at No Way Out 2014. Cody Rhodes saw a new threat in the Chosen one, Drew Mcintyre. Drew Mcintyre who was at the top of his game was the chosen one, that was atleast why the Authority moved him to SmackDown. Mcintyre would stack the odds against Rhodes just by the resources he had backing him. Cody Rhodes saw himself on outside looking in. Drew Mcintyre in shocking fashion would defeat Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XX.
Drew Mcintyre being backed by the Authority wouldn't help with Rhodes's die hard and impressive attempts to regain the championship at Backlash 2014 or in a Iron man match at Battleground 2014 in a Last Man Chance match. Drew Mcintyre's resources continued to grow and many were curious about the money backing him, the car he was presented that would only get trashed by Sheamus, the personal security, it sounded similar. The Irishman could not stand Mcintyre and did not like Mcinytre making him a example weeks prior. Sheamus and Mcintyre faced at Extreme Rules 2014 in a a Street fight that would make anyone cringe watching the hard hitting with Mcintyre taking the victory. Drew Micnytre would soon avoid Sheamus at any cost he could stating he already proved it, Sheamus would attack Mcintyre at every inch. Only for Mcintyre to have Sheamus fired, only to be rehired by the board of directors. Sheamus would return under the condition he must win at Great American Bash 2014 in a Last Man Standing. Drew Mcintyre would win under shenanigans of course. Drew Mcintyre would be challenged by a rookie upstart named Big E. In recent years Big E had broke free of Christian. And was coming off a hot IC title reign. Big E would upset the champion multiple times and would freshen up SmackDown. Drew Mcintyre would defeat Big E at Summer Slam 2014 ending the feud. Mcintyre would be confronted by Dolph Ziggler, who's grown frustrated with the Authority being on SmackDown and found this as ruining the land of opportunity. Ziggler would face Mcintyre at Night of Champions 2014, in a winning effort defying what the Authority layed down. Ziggler would stand tall as 2 time Champion in this Authority era. Ziggler would still find the card deck against him with Drew Mcintyre, after Drew mentioned that he was bringing out the big resources. Mcintyre's personal security was hired as lumberjacks for No Mercy 2014 and it was under Eutopia rules. Ziggler would retain his title. The Authority would show doubt in Mcintyre running SmackDown as it's champion. And Mcintyre would go on a limb put Cody Rhodes blocked the way to a title match. So at Survivor Series 2014 it was triple threat, Drew Mcintyre would win and it was revealed Ted Dibiase was endorsing the Authority on SmackDown. He also screwed Rhodes out of the title. Drew Mcintyre would go his separate ways and face off against Dolph Ziggler at Armageddon 2014 in a Ladder match for the title with Ziggler's career on the line. Mcintyre would champion himself as the career destroyer and Mcintyre would win the match. Ted Dibiase would defeat Cody Rhodes in I quit match as Ted Dibiase would grab Dusty Rhodes hostage and Rhodes would quit but Ted still slammed chair in Dusty's face. Rhodes was mentally broken. Drew Mcintyre would accredit Ted Dibiase and the Authority would back up Royal Rumble 2015 between Dibiase and Mcintyre. The crowd was against it and it almost like it would cause a riot. Ted Dibiase in Montreal Fashion would screw Mcintyre over and win the World Heavy Weight Championship. The crowd was in shock as Dibiase was now SmackDown's Authority golden boy. Dibiase would have Mcintyre almost finish off that following Friday, only for the return of Cody Rhodes with the mask would raise hell.
Rhodes would face Dibiase at No Way Out 2015 in a Ambulance match that ended in no contest when Rhodes superplexed Dibiase off through a series of tables. Drew Mcintyre. Ziggler would have gone rogue since his firing and finally got reinstated as he held Stephanie McMahon hostage after Sting ambushed Triple H on Raw. Mcintyre bent on getting his title back had showdown with Cody Rhodes. Dibiase was going to have him finished off, only for the return of Dolph Ziggler. Dolph Ziggler added new element saving Mcintyre and Rhodes. Rhodes was focused on taking down Ted Dibiase , Mcintyre wanted his play back in the Authority and Ziggler wanted Mcintyre and the Authority out and the title. It was all the on the line in 4 man elimination match at WrestleMania 31. In the end game Dolph Ziggler walked out as World Heavy Weight Champion.
Dolph Ziggler soon rally his Drew Mcintyre and Cody Rhodes and others to end the Authority on SmackDown. The men that all were and are rivals all knew the Authority was cancer and with Dibiase behind the curtains it was matter of time until he took back the title. Dolph Ziggler and his team were able to win a War Games match at Payback 2015. Ziggler then took it to declare a new era on SmackDown, Dolph Ziggler defeated Drew Mcintyre at Battelground and Extreme Rules in a Tables match for the World Championship. Dolph Ziggler would see himself as fighting champion hosting weekly title defensives , and would defeat Neville at the Great American Bash 2015. Cesaro would grow disgusted at Ziggler disrespecting what it means to be a champion. Cesaro would make a stand by trying to out class Ziggler every week that built to match at Summer Slam 2015 with Ziggler winning. Ziggler continued his reign and was given the chance to pick the man he faced at Night of Champions 2015, and that was no other then Sami Zayne. Sami Zayne had been given all the talk in the WWE and Ziggler wanted to see what it was
Zayne would go on a limb to make a statement in the WWE, and he'd get the respect of Ziggler. Dolph Ziggler and Zayne quite possibly could of put on match of the year at Night of Champions 2015, Ziggler walked away with the victor gaining new rival and friend in that very same process. Zayne would challenge Ziggler to another match, only for Cesaro to crash it. Cesaro would play the two men against eachother and use his in ring skill and brain to get the best of both men inside and outside the ring. Ziggler, Cesaro, and Zayne was set for No Mercy 2018 and it had anyone watching at the edge of there seat. Ziggler walked away the victor hitting double Zig Zag.
Ziggler's reign was in question when Cody Rhodes had became his 1# contender. Rhodes who has reverted back to the same level of insanity he was back in the earlier part of the decade seemed caught in box. While, the fans were behind Rhodes his mentality was making him very disliked in the SmackDown lockeroom. Ziggler were try to speak sense into Rhodes and help him into his old self for Survivor Series 2015, but it would only lead to Ziggler making things worse and Ziggler getting on the wrong side of Rhodes rage. Cody Rhodes managed to defeat Dolph Ziggler at Survivor Series 2015.
Rhodes wouldn't show no respect to Ziggler, Rhodes would state he lost his friends in the ''biz''. His mentor Randy Orton used him, Ted Dibiase betrayed him, and Dusty and Goldust won't deal with him. Cody Rhodes viewed Ziggler as a enemy. Ziggler and Rhodes would get into heated confrontation on SmackDown leading to rematch at Armageddon 2015 in Last Man Standing match. Cody Rhodes would prevail in the end show exactly how insane he was hitting Ziggler with Cross Rhodes on a chain.
Drew Mcintyre would soon be in the gunning for new title shot, and he would terrorize his old rival and mock and torture the brain of Rhodes. Drew Mcintyre would answer Rhodes with the same savagery he's showing. Cody Rhodes managed to overcome Mcintyre's mind games and defeat him at Royal Rumble 2016. Cody Rhodes would be faced into backed enviorment at Fast Lane 2016. With a bunch of men gunning for the title in the Elimination Chamber. Cody Rhodes would go to new lengths of insanity attacking and dragging stars into the boiler room. Bashing heads in with his ''mask'' that he hasn't needed for years. Cody Rhodes managed to win the Chamber. But his threat was in the 2016 Royal Rumble Bray Wyatt. Bray Wyatt has made waves since moving to SmackDown, and it was the moment of Wyatt stepping up. Wyatt declared ''The Final Battle of Humanity'' The Wyatt Family would be burying stars alive, putting them in caskets burning them alive, brutal ambushes. Wyatt would declare Rhodes as the man he was going to face at WrestleMania 32. Bray Wyatt would get in the head of Rhodes, stocking Dusty Rhodes and breaking into his head and beating him. Locking Goldust up and taking him captive. While playing in the mental state of Cody Rhodes and slowly ripping him apart from the inside. Cody Rhodes was in for the fight of his life at Mania but he didn't hold back. Rhodes would take Eric Rowan captive among other extremes.
Bray Wyatt defeated Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 32 in a Street fight with Sister Abigal through thumbtacks to claim his first World Champion. The Era of Sister Abigal has begain
