Sami Zayn

This Friday, WWE SmackDown will take place live from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The show is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on USA Network. For international viewers, WWE programming is available live on Netflix in most regions around the world. The biggest attraction on the card will be CM Punk defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens, while NXT Champion Oba Femi has also been advertised for the event. SmackDown Confirmed Match Card August 21, 2026 CM Punk (c) vs. Kevin Owens – Undisputed WWE Championship The only match officially announced for the August 21 episode of SmackDown is CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Championship. The match was set after Owens earned his title opportunity by winning a Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contender's Match against Sami Zayn, Gunther and Finn Bálor at SummerSlam. Owens had also returned from a potentially career-ending injury at the event. The rivalry became more personal on the August 14 episode of SmackDown when Punk and Owens went face-to-face. Their confrontation touched on their past outside WWE and their time in the independent wrestling scene. Owens made it clear that he has wanted the opportunity to face Punk, while the champion questioned whether Owens had lived up to his potential. WWE has now moved the rivalry from the microphone to the ring, with the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line in Toronto. Oba Femi advertised for SmackDown Oba Femi has also been advertised for the Toronto show, although WWE has not announced what he will be doing on the episode. Scotiabank Arena itself promoted Femi's appearance, noting that “The Ruler” will be in Toronto fresh off his SummerSlam victory over Brock Lesnar. Because no match or opponent has been announced for Femi, his appearance should not be listed as an official match at this point. He could appear in a singles match, a confrontation or another segment. Predicted WWE SmackDown Card – August 21, 2026 Randy Orton could target Cody Rhodes Another possible development on Friday night involves Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. Orton has repeatedly targeted Rhodes in recent weeks, and their feud has continued to grow ahead of their scheduled singles match at Sunday Night’s Main Event on September 6. With the match around the corner, WWE could use the August 21 episode of SmackDown to show a little preview of what's coming later. One possible scenario is for Cody Rhodes to defeat Kevin Owens, only for Randy Orton to appear afterward and attack him. Rhodes could celebrate his victory or address the crowd following the match before Orton strikes. The attack would give Orton another opportunity to leave his mark on Rhodes before their September 6 showdown, while also allowing WWE to keep their feud separate from the Punk-Owens championship story. Giulia vs. Blake Monroe The two have an ongoing issue, making a match between them a possible addition to the Toronto show. This has been discussed in SmackDown previews, but it is not currently confirmed by WWE. Where and When to Watch WWE SmackDown The show is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on USA Network and in most international markets on Netflix.

Oba Femi and Bron Breakker will collide at WWE’s first-ever Sunday Night’s Main Event on September 6. The match will take place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, with the special event scheduled to stream live at 8 p.m. ET. The match was made official during Monday night’s Raw after Femi and Breakker confronted each other in the ring. Breakker came out and called out Femi, challenging him to prove that he really is the future of WWE. Femi answered the challenge and reminded Breakker that even Brock Lesnar had recognized his potential. The two were ready to fight immediately, but Paul Heyman stepped in before the confrontation could turn into a match. Heyman explained that he had already spoken with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and had a bigger plan for them. Heyman announced that Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker would take place at Sunday Night’s Main Event on September 6. There is plenty behind the confrontation. Femi is becoming WWE's voice after his recent rivalry with Brock Lesnar, while Breakker has been trying to re-establish himself as one of WWE’s top young stars. Their confrontation on Raw turned that competition into an official singles match. The other confirmed match for Sunday Night’s Main Event is Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton. WWE made that match official after Orton attacked Rhodes before his scheduled match against Sami Zayn on the August 14 episode of SmackDown. The fight spilled through the arena before Nick Aldis announced their singles match for Atlanta.

Friday, August 14, 2026, airing live at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix, WWE SmackDown emanated from TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. It was a major night for championships, with three titles changing hands. Jacy Jayne defeated Tiffany Stratton to become the new WWE Women’s United States Champion, while Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga captured the WWE Tag Team Championship alongside Haku. Elsewhere, Baron Corbin successfully defended the United States Championship against Carmelo Hayes, CM Punk and Kevin Owens had a heated confrontation ahead of their Undisputed WWE Championship match, and Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton erupted into a wild brawl. Chelsea Green Forced to Relinquish Interim Women’s Championship The show opened with Nick Aldis informing Chelsea Green that he could not allow her to compete with a broken orbital bone. Aldis asked Green to relinquish the Interim Women’s Championship, but she refused, insisting that she had worked too hard to give it up. Aldis eventually gave Green 30 days to get medically cleared and return to action. The segment later turned physical when GUNTHER confronted Green, leading to Matt Cardona coming out to defend his wife. GUNTHER def. Matt Cardona GUNTHER dominated Matt Cardona after Cardona attacked him during the earlier confrontation. Despite Cardona using a low blow and hitting Radio Silence, GUNTHER kicked out and eventually put him in a Boston Crab, forcing Cardona to tap out. Afterward, Nia Jax demanded an Interim Women's Championship opportunity from Green, while Tiffany Stratton came out to help Green before Jax attacked her. Baron Corbin def. Carmelo Hayes to Retain the United States Championship Carmelo Hayes attempted to regain the United States Championship from Baron Corbin, but the champion survived Hayes' offense and finished him with End of Days. Corbin retained the title, although his celebration was cut short when Trick Williams and Lil Yachty attacked him after the match. CM Punk and Kevin Owens Come Face-to-Face CM Punk and Kevin Owens had a tense confrontation ahead of their Undisputed WWE Championship match next week. Owens brought up their history dating back 20 years and accused Punk of being a phony, while Punk fired back by questioning Owens' work ethic. Owens eventually told Punk that he would punch him in the face next week and beat him for the championship. MFT def. Damian Priest & R-Truth and The War Raiders to Win WWE Tag Team Championship Damian Priest and R-Truth defended the WWE Tag Team Championship against The War Raiders and Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga. The chaotic three-way match ended when MFT hit Brother's Keeper on R-Truth, giving Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga the victory and making them the new WWE Tag Team Champions. Haku accompanied the brothers to ringside. Jacy Jayne def. Tiffany Stratton to Win Women's United States Championship Tiffany Stratton put her Women's United States Championship on the line against Jacy Jayne. With assistance from Fatal Influence members Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley, Jayne survived Stratton's biggest attacks and caught her with Rolling Encore to score the victory. Jayne became the new Women's United States Champion. Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton Brawl Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton's ongoing issues exploded into another violent confrontation. Orton attacked Rhodes from behind before their scheduled match with Sami Zayn could begin. The two eventually brawled through the crowd and around ringside, with both men using weapons and the environment around them. Officials struggled to separate them as SmackDown went off the air.

WWE SmackDown's August 7 episode on USA Network drew 1.470 million viewers, up from 1.379 million the previous week, with the 18-49 demo rating also rising to 0.35 from 0.31, per Wrestlenomics. The bump lines up with a stacked post-SummerSlam show from the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The episode opened with a tribute to Dory Funk Jr. following his passing, before Cody Rhodes called out Randy Orton, only to be interrupted by CM Punk, who said he didn't know about Orton's return. Kevin Owens confronted Undisputed WWE Champion CM Punk, setting up tension for the title picture, while Owens and Sami Zayn also had a heated backstage argument after Zayn expressed frustration that Owens' return had cost him a title opportunity. In the ring, Baron Corbin retained the United States Championship against Trick Williams in a SummerSlam rematch, and Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid of Fatal Influence retained the Women's Tag Team Championship in a champions-vs-champions match against Chelsea Green and Tiffany Stratton. The night's biggest surprise came in the main event, where returning star Alexa Bliss and debuting Tatum Paxley showed up to help Charlotte Flair defeat Jade Cargill. Backstage, Carmelo Hayes attacked Baron Corbin and challenged him for the U.S. Title next week. That mix of returns, title defenses, and championship-picture drama appears to have helped push the show's numbers up week-over-week.

SmackDown rolls into the Xfinity Mobile Arena tonight looking to answer some of the biggest questions SummerSlam left behind, and the blue brand isn't wasting any time getting to it. Undisputed WWE Champion CM Punk sharing a ring with Kevin Owens for the first time since Owens shocked U.S. Bank Stadium by winning a Fatal Four-Way over Sami Zayn, Gunther and Finn Balor to become the new #1 contender. It's Owens' first appearance on WWE television since a neck injury nearly ended his career back in early 2025 — and it sets up a title chase that's been building in the background for over a year. Owens and Punk have real history dating back two decades to their days together in Ring of Honor, so tonight's face-to-face is expected to be the show's focal point. Charlotte Flair meets Jade Cargill in singles competition — a matchup a lot of people assumed WWE would save for a premium live event rather than burn on free TV. Both women came up empty in the SummerSlam ladder match, and neither has hidden how much bad blood has built up between them, so don't expect this one to stay clean. The newly crowned Interim WWE Women's Champion Chelsea Green will make her first-ever appearance since winning it in a chaotic five-way ladder match at SummerSlam. She's not defending tonight, but what she says matters more than it normally would — the picture around that championship shifted overnight. Cody Rhodes, Tiffany Stratton, Gunther and Trick Williams are advertised for the show. Randy Orton — who cost Rhodes the Undisputed WWE Championship on night one of SummerSlam — is not currently listed and hasn't been addressed on WWE TV since, leaving that thread dangling heading into tonight. WWE SmackDown will take place on August 7, 2026, at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The show is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM ET in the United States. Fans in the U.S. can watch the action live on USA Network, while international viewers can stream the event on Netflix.
