WWE SmackDown Results — April 24, 2026

Segment recap

Jacob comes out to talk about going after Roman Reigns at Backlash. The Uso's music hits and Jimmy and Jey come to the ring. Jimmy and Jey confront Jacob and Jimmy tells him he should be going after Cody Rhodes not Roman. jey grabs the mic and tells him it's too late and if he wants Roman he better be ready for a war. Solo Sikoa and the MFT's(minus Talla Tonga) come out. Solo tells Jacob to not listen to them and they can't teach him anything. If he wants to beat Roman he will need an army and he has that army. Tama Tonga takes the mic and tells Jacob that he can't even beat Solo, why does he think he can beat Roman. Fatu super kicks Tama and we set up Solo vs Jacob for later tonight!

Summary

Tiffany Stratton finally got her big moment, and honestly, it felt overdue. This match had a bit more edge than you’d expect, with Giulia bringing that no-nonsense, strike-heavy style while Stratton mixed in athletic counters and confidence that borders on arrogance. You could tell Stratton came in with something to prove after constantly being “almost the one,” and she wrestled like it. When she sealed the deal and became the new Women’s United States Champion, it didn’t feel fluky…it felt like WWE finally pulling the trigger. Not perfect, but definitely one of the more meaningful outcomes of the night.

Segment recap

Brie Bella and Paige come out to celebrate their win at Wrestlemania. Paige tales the mic and tells everyone how great it is to be back. She says that Smackdown is her house. Charlotte and Alexa come out and say they want a rematch and that they aren't going to let one Wrestlemania moment get in the way of all of their hardwork. They set up a match for immediately. Charles Robinson comes down to the ring and we are on!

Summary

This one had big “post-Mania chaos” energy written all over it from the jump. Brie Bella and Paige came in riding that WrestleMania high as fresh tag champs, but they didn’t even get a full victory lap before Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss (aka the “Allies of Convenience”) showed up ready to take those titles right back. Once the bell rang, it was actually shaping up to be a really solid tag match. Paige brought that aggressive, “I’ve been waiting years to do this again” energy, while Brie handled a lot of the pace-setting. Charlotte did her usual “I’m better than everyone here” routine with crisp offense, and Bliss mixed in her sneaky, opportunistic style. Nobody looked out of place…which honestly made what happened next even more frustrating. Because just as things were getting good, everything got blown up. The NXT call-ups known as Fatal Influence stormed the ring and laid out literally everyone, turning the match into a no contest. So yeah…officially no winner, no real finish, and no clean takeaway other than WWE clearly wanting you to notice this new group. The champs didn’t lose, the challengers didn’t win, and the fans didn’t exactly get closure. Fun while it lasted, but this one felt like it got cut off right when it was starting to cook.

Summary

This one was a weird mix, and I mean that in both good and “what are we doing here?” ways. Priest handled most of the heavy lifting, bringing the physical presence, while R-Truth did his usual chaos routine that somehow still works. Tama Tonga and JC Mateo played solid challengers, keeping things competitive without ever really feeling like they were about to win. The finish came with Priest and Truth hitting their Rise Up combo to retain. It wasn’t a show-stealer, but it did its job…even if the tag division still feels like it’s spinning its wheels a bit.

Summary

Look…this match was exactly what you think it was going to be. Danhausen brought the weird, the curses, and the crowd energy, while The Miz played the perfect annoyed veteran who can’t believe he has to deal with this nonsense. And somehow, it worked. Miz got enough offense in to remind you he’s still a pro, but Danhausen’s antics kept throwing him off just enough. The finish came with Danhausen pulling out the win in his usual “very nice, very evil” fashion. Not a technical classic, not even close…but it was entertaining, and sometimes that’s enough.

Summary

Rhea Ripley came in like a champion who just won at WrestleMania and wanted to remind everyone she’s not going anywhere. Jacy Jayne got her shots in early and didn’t look out of place, but let’s be real…this was always Ripley’s match to control. The problem is it never really got the chance to hit a true second gear. Fatal Influence jumped in and wrecked everything, causing the DQ and turning it into a 3-on-1 beatdown. Ripley fought back because that’s what she does, but the numbers caught up. So yeah, technically a win for Ripley, but it felt more like a setup for chaos than a finished fight

Summary

Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa beat the hell out of each other in what felt less like a wrestling match and more like a family argument that got way out of control. These two didn’t waste time feeling each other out…they just started swinging. Fatu controlled long stretches with pure power, while Solo kept trying to slow things down and pick his spots. In the end, Fatu sealed it with the Mighty Moonsault, which is still insane for a guy his size. Post-match, things didn’t calm down either, as Fatu fought off a faction attack and stood tall. This was the kind of win where WWE is basically screaming, “yeah, this guy matters now.”
