Before heading to Saudi Arabia this weekend for Night of Champions<\/a>, Friday night’s episode of WWE SmackDown was taped at the O2 Arena in London, England, on Tuesday evening. <\/p>\n

This will be the final 3-hour episode of WWE SmackDown <\/a>for the rest of the year as the company plans to shift back to the 2-hour format for the remainder of 2026. <\/p>\n

Here are some highlights that took place during this afternoon’s SmackDown tapings.<\/p>\n

The main event of tonight’s taping saw Giulia pick up a definitive win over Kiana James, seemingly ending the story these two had since their pairing took place last July. Following the match, Blake Monroe appeared and attacked Giulia. <\/p>\n

Beyond one brief appearance backstage with Chelsea Green, this is Monroe’s first appearance in front of the crowd as a member of the main roster. WWE has been running multiple vignettes for Monroe since calling her up from NXT in April. <\/p>\n

We also got the next chapter in the wackiness that is Danhausen, as he teamed with Matt Cardona to take on Los Garza. Danhausen and Cardona would go on to pick up the victory with an assist from an unlikely source. <\/p>\n

The closing segment featured WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Gunther, and Sami Zayn setting the stage for their triple threat match at Night of Champions on Saturday afternoon. Oba Femi and Jey Uso got involved in the segment to help promote their King of the Ring finals matchup. To the surprise of no one, this segment ended in a physical brawl. <\/p>\n
