The Road to SummerSlam continues on SmackDown.
With the conclusion of Night of Champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, last weekend, the build towards SummerSlam 2026 has begun. WWE has already announced multiple matches for the PLE on this week’s edition of Raw.
The July 3 fallout show of SmackDown is expected to continue the build with matches and segments leading towards the Summer’s Biggest Party.
Multiple big names, including Cody Rhodes, Charlotte Flair, Tiffany Stratton, Rey Fenix, Jey Uso, El Hijo Del Vikingo, Jade Cargill, and B-Fab, among others, are set to compete on the show, which will emanate from the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Notably, similar to last week’s show, the July 3 edition was pre-taped after this week’s Raw in Atlantic City. The decision was likely made to give talent time off for the Fourth of July. If you want to know what happened on the show, you can check out the spoilers here:
