In the recent episode of WWE SmackDown, the forthcoming matches for the next edition have been revealed:
In a face-off for the Women’s U.S. Title, Michin emerged triumphant over Piper Niven and Lash Legend, standing in for an absent Jade Cargill. In an unexpected twist, Chelsea Green sided with Piper and launched an attack on Michin during the face-off, prompting B-Fab to step in and defend Michin.
Shinsuke Nakamura pulled off an impressive victory over Andrade, delivering a winning Kinshasa. Nakamura also appears to have tweaked his familiar ring music. The post-match saw LA Knight attempting an attack, only to be stopped by Nakamura’s ‘black mist’ spray.
Cody Rhodes, the current WWE Champion, managed an impressive win against Carmelo Hayes with Cross Rhodes.
Bianca Belair, Naomi, Bayley, Iyo Sky, and Rhea Ripley stepped into the spotlight to stoke anticipation for War Games. Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, Tiffany Stratton, and Candice LeTae responded with instigating remarks about Jade’s attack and Bayley’s addition to the team. Tensions flared, culminating in a brawl that security and agents had to intervene to stop.
In the Men’s War Games Advantage Match, Jacob Fatu secured a win against Jey Uso with a remarkable springboard moonsault.
Regardless of the outcomes, it’s worth noting that the PRIME logo will hold court on the mat for next week’s show.

– Apollo Crews asserted dominance over Giovanni Vinci in a Dark Match.
– In the first of two WWE Speed Matches, Natalya made a winning move against B-Fab.
