List of all superstars confirmed for WWE SmackDown (October 23, 2026) ft. Alexa Bliss, Blake Monroe, Cody Rhodes & more

SmackDown continues to build intense rivalries.

Friday Night SmackDown returns on October 23 from the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California, with a stacked card for this Friday’s show. While storylines are moving ahead for the Crown Jewel 2026 PLE, the blue brand is building some intense rivalries.

In the announced matches, Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley are putting their Women’s Tag Team Championships on the line for the first time. The challengers, Michin and B-Fab, associated with Jade Cargill’s Baddies, earned their opportunity after recent confrontations involving the champions and other women on the roster. Bliss and Paxley captured the titles from Fatal Influence earlier this month.

In another match, Giulia and Blake Monroe prepare to settle their rivalry under Street Fight rules. Monroe previously defeated Giulia in their first official match, but the animosity between the two has continued. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis has now sanctioned a bout with fewer restrictions.

Bron Breakker and Austin Theory will defend the World Tag Team Championship against LA Knight and Solo Sikoa in a dark match at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. Although the bout will take place after the televised October 23 episode as a dark match for a live audience, it adds a title clash to the evening’s lineup.

Sikoa’s recent addition to the Bloodline makes his availability for the SmackDown even more interesting, but he will team up with LA Knight to challenge The Vision’s champions for the gold, which will be a dark match.

The show will also feature a tag team clash between MFT and Bakusai. The MFT duo are the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions, but their titles will not be on the line in this match.

Meanwhile, several prominent names—including Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, Gunther and Trick Williams—are listed among the featured Superstars for the event.
