WWE SmackDown is set to air this Friday, June 26, 2026, at 8 ET/7 CT on USA, broadcasting live from London. The episode will feature a lineup of confirmed matches and segments, building momentum towards the WWE Night of Champions premium live event.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is scheduled to address both Gunther and Sami Zayn. This segment takes place on the eve of their Triple Threat Match at WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. The Triple Threat Match was made by SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis after Sami Zayn involved himself in Cody Rhodes' match against The Ring General, Gunther, last week.

In in-ring action, Rey Fenix will defend his AAA Cruiserweight Championship against Nathan Frazer. Fenix previously defeated Axiom a few weeks ago in his first title defense and aims to bring the AAA Cruiserweight Championship back to SmackDown. Nathan Frazer is Axiom’s tag team partner.

United States Champion Trick Williams will return to SmackDown to battle Ricky Saints in a U.S. Title Match. Williams was absent from SmackDown last week. Ricky Saints earned this title opportunity by overcoming Carmelo Hayes in a No. 1 Contender’s Match last week, becoming the next challenger for the United States Championship. Williams must put his title on the line against Saints at WWE Night of Champions.

England's own Paige is slated to go one-on-one with Fatal Influence’s Jacy Jayne. This marks Paige’s first singles match since her return to action. Jacy Jayne is also one-half of the current WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.

Additionally, Giulia will battle her former ally Kiana James. The two, once business associates, will face each other for the first time since their falling out. Their animosity began after Giulia snapped on James, who had berated her for losing in the first round of the Queen of the Ring Tournament.
