The show will return to its original time slot for international fans until the next episode from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. WWE has announced multiple matches for the show, including a #1 Contenders triple threat match for the Women’s Tag Team titles as well as a tag team showdown for the WWE Tag Team titles.

Now, let’s dive into an in-depth preview of the January 23 episode of WWE SmackDown, featuring the full match card, start times, and complete broadcast and streaming details.

Announced for WWE SmackDown (January 23, 2026)

• Giulia & Kiana James vs Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss vs Nia Jax & Lash Legend – #1 Contenders triple threat match for the Women’s Tag Team titles
• The Wyatt Sicks (Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis) (c) vs The MFTs – WWE Tag Team titles
• Trick Williams vs Damian Priest
• Nathan Frazer vs Johnny Gargano

Giulia & Kiana James vs Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss vs Nia Jax & Lash Legend – #1 Contenders triple threat match for the Women’s Tag Team titles

The team of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, Giulia and Kiana James, and Nia Jax and Lash Legend will face off in a triple-threat #1 Contender’s match for the Women’s Tag Team Titles. The match was announced following last week’s brawl, where Jax and Legend interfered in the tag team match between Charlexa and Giulia & James.

The winner will earn the next shot at the Women’s Tag Team Championships, which will be defended at SNME when Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky face The Judgment Day’s Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez.

The Wyatt Sicks (Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis) (c) vs The MFTs – WWE Tag Team titles

WWE Tag Team Champions, Wyatt Sicks (Joe Gacy & Dexter Lumis), are set to defend the titles after being unable to counter Solo Sikoa and his MFT. The two factions battling for control will collide in a tag team match, with the tag titles on the line.

WWE has not yet announced which members of MFT will challenge Gacy and Lumis on the upcoming SNME go-home show of SmackDown.

Trick Williams vs Damian Priest

Damian Priest will face Trick Williams in singles action, just one night before their encounter in the Fatal Four-Way match for the #1 Contender spot for the Undisputed Championship.

The match was announced during a backstage segment where Priest interrupted Williams’ interview and challenged him to a match, before the SNME showdown.

Nathan Frazer vs Johnny Gargano

A singles match between Nathan Frazer and Johnny Gargano is also set for the show, as Frazer and Axiom are determined to teach Gargano a lesson and get Axiom’s mask back.

Last week, Fraxiom turned Johnny Gargano’s own tactics against him, attacking him backstage before Frazer revealed that he had spoken with General Manager Nick Aldis. He then announced that the two would face off in a singles match.
