Cody Rhodes is introduced before his match against Randy Orton for the Undisputed WWE Championship during WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium on April 18, 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This week’s edition of WWE SmackDown emanates from The O2 Arena in London, England. It’s the Night of Champions go-home show, which was taped last Tuesday to ease the potential logistics problem going from London to Saudi Arabia in 24 hours.

WWE announced four matches for the show, as well as the appearance of Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare is set to defend his title at Night of Champions against Gunther and Sami Zayn in a triple threat match.

Nevertheless, here’s the complete list of matches for tonight’s SmackDown, as per the Wrestling Observer:

  • Paige vs. Jacy Jayne
  • Jade Cargill vs. Chelsea Green
  • Giulia vs. Kiana James
  • Rey Fenix (c) vs. Nathan Frazer for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship

Since the show was taped on Tuesday, it will be televised on its usual time slot of 8:00 p.m. EST on the USA Network in the United States and on Netflix internationally.


WWE SmackDown Preview

Paige will be wrestling in her home country of England for the second time in a week. She teamed up with Brie Bella last Monday on Raw to retain the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.

It’s also her first singles match since returning to WWE at WrestleMania 42. Her last singles WWE match before tonight was on December 4, 2017, when she defeated Sasha Banks. Jacy Jayne will look to get momentum for Fatal Influence in their quest to win the tag titles.

Jade Cargill takes on Chelsea Green ahead of her Women’s United States Championship match against Tiffany Stratton at Night of Champions. Green is trying to get on the good side of Stratton as she continues to form a partnership with the Women’s U.S. Champ.

After weeks of tension, Giulia finally gets her hands on Kiana James. The former partners take out their frustration and anger on each other in what could be a slobberknocker of a match.

Finally, Rey Fenix will defend the AAA World Cruiserweight Title against Nathan Frazer, who has the hometown advantage. Fenix has some momentum after beating Axiom two weeks ago on SmackDown.
