Elimination Chamber qualifying matches are underway!
WWE SmackDown is set for a stacked return on Friday, February 13, as the blue brand continues its march toward Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 42.
After a storyline-heavy episode this week, multiple championships and Elimination Chamber qualifying matches are already confirmed, giving next Friday’s show a premium live event–level feel.
With tensions rising across the women’s and men’s divisions alike, WWE SmackDown on SyFy is shaping up to be one of the most consequential episodes of the early WrestleMania season.
Match card for WWE SmackDown (February 13, 2026)
- Rey Fenix vs Trick Williams
- Jade Cargill vs Jordynne Grace (WWE Women’s Championship)
- Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky vs Nia Jax and Lash Legend (WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship)
- Alexa Bliss vs Giulia vs Zelina (Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match)
- Cody Rhodes vs Jacob Fatu vs Sami Zayn (Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match)
Rey Fenix vs Trick Williams
High-flying chaos meets raw power as Rey Fenix collides with Trick Williams on the February 13 edition of WWE SmackDown. Fenix brings his unpredictable lucha libre arsenal and blistering speed, while Williams looks to impose his athleticism and confidence on the blue brand.
Jade Cargill vs Jordynne Grace (WWE Women’s Championship)
Jade Cargill captured the WWE Women’s Championship from Tiffany Stratton in November, but her reign has yet to be tested in a title defense, until now. Since winning the gold, Cargill has dominated three singles bouts on WWE SmackDown, though a true top contender never emerged.
That changes with the arrival of elite veteran Jordynne Grace, a powerful newcomer to the blue brand. With WrestleMania 42 on the horizon, Cargill needs a statement win to solidify her championship reign.
Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky vs Nia Jax and Lash Legend (WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship)
For the second straight week, Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky will defend the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Fresh off a decisive win over Giulia and Kiana James, the champions now face a dangerous new challenge in the powerhouse pairing of Nia Jax and Lash Legend. Ripley and Sky remain unbeaten at 5–0 in traditional tag matches, and with WrestleMania approaching, anything short of another successful defense would be a major shock.
WWE Elimination Chamber Qualifiers continue
Elimination Chamber implications were felt throughout last Friday’s show. Tiffany Stratton officially punched her ticket to Chicago, while Randy Orton qualified for the men’s Elimination Chamber for the 10th time in his career.
This week, two more competitors will earn their way into the unforgiving structure. On the women’s side, Women’s United States Champion Giulia will compete in a triple threat against Zelina Vega and Alexa Bliss, with a Chamber spot at stake.
The men’s qualifier is just as compelling. A frustrated Sami Zayn looks to rebound from his Royal Rumble loss as he faces Jacob Fatu and former WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in a high-stakes triple threat.
With championships on the line and WrestleMania paths beginning to emerge, next week’s SmackDown is positioned as a pivotal chapter on the road to Elimination Chamber.
