Tonight’s SmackDown airs early for international fans.
The historic first Premium Live Event (PLE) in Italy, Clash in Italy, concluded last weekend in Turin. WWE delivered the fallout edition of Raw this past Monday and will now address the fallout on the Friday Night SmackDown brand tonight.
Tonight’s fallout edition of the Blue brand will emanate live from the Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy. Notably, this will be the final SmackDown show of this leg of the European tour, as WWE is set to return to the U.S. before heading back to Europe for live events and TV shows ahead of Night of Champions.
The 2026 King and Queen of the Ring tournament, which kicked off on Raw this past Monday, will continue tonight, with two first-round matches. Oba Femi and Iyo Sky advanced in the first round matches in the King and Queen of the Ring tournament, respectively.
WWE will also address the fallout from the Clash in Italy, which saw Cody Rhodes defeat Gunther to retain the title, while Rhea Ripley defeated Jade Cargill to retain the title. On the other hand, Solo Sikoa, along with the MFTs, appeared after Roman Reigns’ win over Jacob Fatu, signalling that the Bloodline drama might resume soon.
