This article contains SPOILERS for tonight’s SmackDown.

Tonight’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown serves as the go-home show for Night of Champions 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Multiple big names, including Cody Rhodes, Gunther, Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, and Oba Femi, are set to make the show eventful ahead of the PLE.

The promotion has confirmed several key matches and segments for the show, including Paige’s first singles match since WrestleMania 42, the much-anticipated main roster debut of Blake Monroe, and a major faction implosion involving the MFTs.

Notably, the June 26 episode of SmackDown was pre-taped on June 23 at the O2 Arena in London, England. This was done to give the talent adequate time to travel to Saudi Arabia and rest before Night of Champions.

As WWE heads into Night of Champions weekend, here are the complete spoilers for tonight’s go-home edition of WWE SmackDown.
