– Booker T will face WWE Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes on the January 6th, 2012 episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
The match comes after Rhodes retained the title at TLC and Booker won the non-title match on Monday’s RAW Supershow. They taped an angle at last night’s SmackDown tapings to set up the match.
Also on the first SmackDown of 2012, Daniel Bryan will defend his World Heavyweight Title against Big Show.
