Tiffany Stratton & Jade Cargill Face Off Before Saturday Night’s Main Event
One week after shocking the WWE Universe with her brutal attack on Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill finally explained her actions. Standing in the center of the ring, Cargill revealed that she attacked Stratton because she was tired of watching a “champion who was handed everything,” while she had to dominate every opportunity to prove her worth.
Tiffany Stratton wasn’t having any of it. She stormed to the ring and fired back, saying she “built the entire women’s division in 2025” and that Cargill was just trying to steal the spotlight.
What followed was an intense, face-to-face staredown where neither woman backed down. Security eventually stepped in to prevent a physical altercation, but the message was clear—their match at Saturday Night’s Main Event might become the most explosive women’s bout of the year.

The United States Champion Ilja Dragunov returned to SmackDown to continue his Open Challenge, with the high-flying Nathan Frazer answering the call. But before the bell could ring, Tommaso Ciampa marched to the ring, arguing that Frazer didn’t deserve the opportunity.
After making his statement, Ciampa left, allowing the match to begin.
Frazer came out swinging, hitting Dragunov with a brutal dropkick that sent the champion crashing into the steel steps. He followed with a breathtaking Phoenix Splash that nearly scored the upset.
But Dragunov isn’t champion by accident.
He turned the tide with a massive powerbomb, followed by the devastating H-Bomb, picking up another hard-earned victory.
After the match, Ciampa returned and blindsided Frazer, signaling that he’s far from done inserting himself into the U.S. Title scene.

This allowed Wilson to hit an elbow drop, but Hayes kicked out with heart. Moments later, Hayes rallied and connected with the First 48, securing the victory.

When Jax climbed the ropes for an Annihilator, Charlotte Flair appeared at ringside, causing a split-second distraction. Bliss capitalized with a dropkick and a lightning-fast roll-up for the win.

After the bell, the beatdown continued until Rey Fenix and Shinsuke Nakamura rushed out to even the odds. But the MFTs dominated the brawl, standing tall over all four men and sending a clear warning to the SmackDown tag division.
