Event Recap
Friday night WWE SmackDown from the Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes‑Barre, Pennsylvania was the last stop before Saturday Night’s Main Event and John Cena’s final match, and the show delivered a mix of physical fights, quick contests and a little bit of heat to carry fans into the weekend. The night opened with a gritty United States Championship defense as Ilja Dragunov stood toe‑to‑toe with Tommaso Ciampa and retained in a hard hitting exchange that had real urgency in every chop and forearm. In the mixed tag bout Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley teamed up and picked up a clear pin over Aleister Black and Zelina Vega, giving Priest and Ripley momentum before heading into the bigger event. Alexa Bliss kept her winning ways going with a Sister Abigail finish over Lash Legend, while Je’Von Evans and The Miz delivered a lively singles battle that saw Evans score a solid win.

Summary
The U.S. Title match opened the show with Ilja Dragunov defending against Tommaso Ciampa in a hard‑hitting battle. Both men weren’t shy about trading forearms and chops, with Dragunov even firing off a big pump kick and Ciampa responding with a running knee that nearly scored. The back‑and‑forth eventually saw Dragunov take control, stomping away at Ciampa’s knee and blasting him off the apron before finishing him inside the ring with a heavy boot and a decisive pin. It was one of those scrappy fights that felt like a fight — rough around the edges but with actual physicality and urgency. The champ walked out still holding gold and looking rugged as ever.

Eventually she caught Legend with a Sister Abigail out of nowhere to score the pin.

Summary
This bout was booked as a physical singles fight with Jade Cargill facing Michin, and the way it went was basically Cargill’s power overwhelming Michin’s quicker offense. Michin flashed a few energetic high spots and looked like she might steal momentum early, but Cargill’s size advantage and clubbing offense eventually wore her down. Cargill hit her signature Jaded finisher for the clean pin, underscoring that she is still rolling with force and making a statement about her standing in the women’s division.
Main Event
Summary
