WWE had one final three-hour SmackDown left in 2026 ahead of Night of Champions. Tama and Talla Tonga weren’t happy with Solo Sikoa after last week, especially getting dragged into Bloodline drama.
The elders must have told them to ditch Solo. They crossed paths later with Finn Balor backstage. The War Raiders challenged WWE Tag Team Champions Damian Priest and R-Truth to a match with both sets of titles on the line.
Thanks for the submission!
Rey Fenix and Nathan Frazer proved why they deserve more spotlight on SmackDown. Oba Femi, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and Gunther closed the show with eyes on the WWE Title. Here’s the rundown for SmackDown (June 26, 2026).
#9. Wash, Rinse, Repeat with Trick Williams
Trick missed last week’s SmackDown because he was getting married to Lash Legend. After saying his usual words of being the best, Ricky Saints emerged to congratulate Trick before saying he wasn’t good at making life decisions.
Both stars vowed to walk out of WWE Night of Champions with the United States Championship. Saints asked whether Lil Yachty had also come with the title before decking him. If you’ve seen one Trick Williams segment on the main roster, this wasn’t anything new.
#8. Tiffany Stratton & Alexa Bliss clash with B-Fab & Michin
Stratton gets a near fall off a dropkick on Michin. Bliss tags in and goes for Sister Abigail, but Michin pulls her down by the hair. Bliss hits an ugly DDT on Michin on the outside, but gets kicked down by B-Fab after a blind tag.
Tiffie gets the hot tag and hits B-Fab with an Alabama Slam. She hits a cutter and a Swanton for near falls. Stratton hits her Driver before going for the moonsault.
Jade Cargill then popped up from under the ring to knock her down, allowing B-Fab to hit a reverse facebuster for the upset win. The heels stared Stratton down, but Chelsea Green came out with a Kendo Stick to save her.
GRADE: C
#7. What WWE SmackDown used to be with Nathan Frazer vs. Rey Fenix
After some feeling out early on, Fenix got the upper hand with a crossbody to Frazer on the outside. Frazer fought back with a Tope Con Giro. Fenix landed a stunner and neckbreaker for a near fall.
The AAA Cruiserweight Champion went to the top rope, but was met by the challenger. He landed a Superplex but got countered going for a follow-up. They kicked each other simultaneously to level the playing field.
They traded leg strikes before Frazer barely landed a Spanish Fly off the middle rope. He hit a spinning neckbreaker for a two-count. The challenger missed the Phoenix Splash, allowing Fenix to hit a kick and double knees. He went for the Mexican Muscle Buster, but Frazer countered out.
The Englishman landed a kick that sent Fenix in front of the announce table. Fenix evaded a Frazer Suicide Dive. Fenix hit a Frog Splash for two. Fenix nabbed Frazer off the top to land the Muscle Buster for the win.
GRADE: B+
#6. A powwow between two guys who don’t like the Bloodline
The WWE fans in London really wanted to see LA Knight, and Knight wanted answers from Solo Sikoa after he helped him beat Jimmy Uso on RAW. Before that, the two rivals would come to blows whenever they crossed paths.
Sikoa wasn’t there for a fight because his family had left him. Knight said it will leave a clear path right back into the Bloodline. Solo claimed to hate the Bloodline and being a part of it. He hated all of them.
The only way to feel better is to finish them, so he should team up with Knight. The Megastar said the rest of the group should hate Reigns for what he’s done to them. Sikoa said they could have each other’s backs against the Bloodline, but Knight understandably declined.
#5. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Paige vs. Jacy Jayne
Jacy landed a Superkick early on. Paige took Reid and Henley out on the outside with a Cannonball. Jayne took advantage to land a Soccer Kick. The Anti-Diva fought back with a Fisherman’s Suplex and Paige Turner for a near fall.
Jacy countered out of the RamPaige to hit a running knee for a two-count. Paige countered when Jayne went for her finisher.
Brie Bella pushed Jacy’s legs off the ropes. Henley and Reid attacked Brie on the outside. Jacy and Paige traded roll-ups, with Paige coming out on top.
GRADE: C
#4. Danhausen and his creations haunt Los Garza
Danhausen came out with the Legion of Danhausen, the Miz, and Kit Wilson. Los Garza interrupted him. They knocked Miz and Wilson down before going after Danhausen. Matt Cardona made the save.
Los Garza took Wilson out before going back to the ring. Danhausen tagged in and landed some offense. Angel kicked Cardona off the apron. He rolled out of the ring to get a chair, but the Miz got in his way.
Wilson grabbed it out of his hands, allowing Cardona to hit him with a Ruff Ryder. Danhausen cursed Berto as he went to the top. He hit a Scorpion Death Drop for the win.
GRADE: C
#3. Another tuneup for Jade Cargill
Cargill hit a Fallaway Slam on Green on the outside before immediately cutting to commercial. The Storm hit a chokeslam on the other side of the break. Chelsea battled back with a few strikes.
Jade seemed extremely off during the match, barely throwing convincing strikes. Green hit a Superkick, but staggers around. Jade hit her pumpkick and Jaded for the predictable victory.
Cargill continued the assault post-match, but Stratton and Bliss made the save. B-Fab and Micihn came out as well. The heels overpowered Stratton, so Cargill can stand tall to end things.
GRADE: D
#2. A big WWE debut after Giulia vs. Kiana James
James came out aggressively. She dumped Giulia onto the steel steps. Half of the match took place during the commercials. Giulia landed some strikes but was met with a Superkick. She moved when James went for a standing moonsault.
The Beautiful Madness hit a back suplex for a near fall. She went to the top, but Kiana pulled her down by the hair. James hit a Falcon Arrow for a two-count. She then powerbombed Giulia as she went for a knee strike.
Kiana hoisted Giulia on her shoulders and climbed the ropes, but Giulia countered with a powerbomb. She hit her knee and Northern Lights Bomb for the win. As she had her hand raised, Blake Monroe attacked her from behind.
GRADE: C
#1. Everyone loves the WWE Championship
Sami Zayn cuts Cody Rhodes off, claiming this wasn’t how he wanted to fight for the WWE Championship, but as usual, Rhodes ignored it. He called Zayn “exhausting” before mentioning how he’s best friends with Kevin Owens.
Cody said Owens would say what he meant and at least stabbed him in the front. Zayn wasn’t the same, especially since he hadn’t been a WWE Champion like Owens. Zayn said if not for him last week, Gunther would be the champion.
Michael Cole called Sami an entitled brat for some reason. Gunther came out to cut through their drama. He agreed that he’d be WWE Champion if Sami didn’t get involved. Jey came out to waste time.
Everyone ignored that Roman Reigns also has a title, so if the King of the Ring does go after Cody, it would just be lazy writing by WWE. Jey got in Gunther’s face, so Gunther attacked him. Cody and Jey sent him from the ring with kicks.
They faced off until Oba Femi entered. Jey kicked Cody. Gunther hit Jey, and Zayn blasted Gunther with the belt. Cody hit him with Cross Rhodes. Femi and Rhodes ended the show with a staredown.
