Shinsuke Nakamura vs LA Knight – United States Championship

The feud between the current United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and LA Knight began when Nakamura attacked Knight on his return in November 2024. This feud culminated in a title match between the two at Survivor Series 2024 PLE where Nakamura defeated Knight to become the US Champion.

The win ended Knight’s reign at 119 days and kicked off Nakamura’s third US title reign. Nakamura wasn’t done with Knight as he continued his attack after Survivor Series PLE. In the last week’s episode, Knight returned the favor and attacked Nakamura after his match against Andrade.

This attack led to the announcement of a rematch between the two rivals for the 01/10 episode of Friday Night SmackDown. This will be the first title defense for Nakamura’s third US title reign.

Tiffany Stratton set to appear

The new WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton is set to appear on the 01/10 episode of the Blue brand. She will be making her appearance with a new custom Championship.

Stratton cashed in her MITB contract successfully on the last week’s episode. Stratton cashed in on her friend Nia Jax who was defending the title against one-half of the Women’s Tag Champion Noami.
