WWE SmackDown: Stephanie Vaquer & Tiffany Stratton in tag team action; last man standing match; special start time & more set for next week (October 10, 2025)

The October 3 episode of SmackDown aired in Ohio!

The October 3 episode of Friday Night SmackDown aired live from the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The show continued the build towards the upcoming Crown Jewel PLE, with face-offs, a contract signing, and brawls.

Sami Zayn continued his United States title open challenge, which was answered once again by Carmelo Hayes, who was attacked by The Miz before he could make it to the ring. Aleister Black replaced him, but failed to pin the Champion as a distraction from Damian Priest, who helped Sami retain the title.

NXT’s Sol Ruca and Zaria defeated Chelsea Green and Alba Fuyre in an impromptu match, while Giulia attacked Tiffany Stratton after the Crown Jewel Contract signing. Giulia, along with Kiana James, tried to recruit Stephanie Vaquer until Stratton came around and sent them packing.

In another improptu tag team match, the team of Rey Fenix and Je’Von Evans defeated Los Garzas (Angel & Berto). Additionally, The Vision (Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed) defeated Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton in a Tag Team match to secure the victory in the main event.

Seth Rollins interfered in the match, taking out Orton with a stomp while Heyman distracted the official. However, after the match, Rollins paid the price of not listening to Heyman as he went to stomp Rhodes, who retaliated with a Cross Rhodes to close out the show.
