Cody Rhodes wins; Rhea Ripley attacks & other possible spoilers for WWE SmackDown tonight (March 6, 2026)

Undisputed title will be contested tonight on SmackDown.

Tonight’s Friday Night SmackDown goes live from the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. Cody Rhodes, Tiffany Stratton, Randy Orton, Charlotte Flair, Drew McIntyre, and Sami Zayn are listed as featured superstars.

The Blue brand‘s show will act as the fallout from the 2026 Elimination Chamber, recapping the event and highlighting the matches that determined the number one contenders for both the Undisputed Championship and the Women’s Title.

A title match, along with a number one contenders match, a fiery face-off, and a title celebration, are announced for the show. Ahead of the show in Portland, let us now take a look at four potential spoilers that might be in store for fans on WWE SmackDown tonight.

4. Charlexa crashes the celebration

After capturing the Women’s Tag Team titles last week, The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax & Lash Legend) announced that they will be celebrating their title victory on this week’s show. Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky losing the titles has shaken up the division, with challengers waiting in the wings to claim a title shot.

Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, after suffering multiple setbacks recently, will likely decide to crash the celebration tonight and challenge the new Champions for a clash at Mania. Reports have confirmed a record number of women’s matches at Mania, and this would be a great addition to the show.

3. An allout-brawl

On the March 2 episode of Raw fallout, Rhea Ripley pledged to capture the title on behalf of Iyo Sky. She revealed that she will confront Jade Cargill face-to-face this Friday and declared that by the time WrestleMania arrives, she intends to walk out as the new WWE Women’s Champion.

In the backdrop of the ugly war of words, the face-off carries massive intrigue from fans, and with a short time in hand for Mania, WWE might decide to pick up the pace with an all-out brawl between the two women, with Rhea likely initiating the brawl.

2. Wyatt Sicks unleashes chaos

Last week, Uncle Howdy pinned Solo Sikoa and went on to reclaim the iconic lantern. When Talla Tonga and the rest of the MFTs arrived, attacking him and stole the lantern again. With Mania season approaching, WWE needs to deliver good matches and segments between the two factions to build up intrigue, which is at an all-time low.

Another eerie promo battle between the two will not help build any excitement among fans. Wyatt Sicks needs to unleash chaos and put the MFTs on notice.

1. Cody Rhodes captures the title

The feud between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes intensifies this Friday on SmackDown. After McIntyre once again interfered, this time attacking Cody during the men’s Chamber match, General Manager Nick Aldis announced that the two would clash in a title match on the next fallout show, making it clear McIntyre’s actions won’t go unchecked.

Reports indicate that, as of a month ago, plans were in place for Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes to face off for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania. This setup suggests the possibility of another title change, with Rhodes potentially capturing the championship tonight.

While there’s room for debate over whether a multi-man match for the title makes sense, or if the championship should be given to Cody Rhodes only for him to defend it against Randy Orton at WrestleMania, one thing is certain: the buildup is setting the stage for a high-stakes and unpredictable showdown.
