WWE SMACKDOWN RESULTS: April 3, 2026
- The show opened with a promo from Randy Orton about how he'll win the title at WrestleMania. Cody Rhodes came out, ready for a fight, but Pat McAfee is apparently the person Orton has been talking to and has turned heel, cutting a promo of his own about how the business sucks right now because people are smaller and such.
- Rhea Ripley defeated Michin by submission. B-Fab and Jade Cargill jumped Ripley after the match and Iyo Sky came out to make the save for Ripley.
- Aleister Black, Zelina Vega, and Matt Cardona had a backstage interaction to set up a match for later.
- Then, Solo Sikoa told Tama Tonga to fight Uncle Howdy on his behalf over the lantern.
- Cathy Kelley interviewed Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. Ripley said the difference between Jade and herself is that Jade has followers, but Rhea has friends. Sky says she'll always have Rhea's back and vice versa.
- Uncle Howdy defeated Tama Tonga by pinfall. After the match, Tonga gave the lantern back to Howdy, defying Solo Sikoa.
- R-Truth interacted backstage with The Miz and Kit Wilson to set up a match.
- Vignette: Jacob Fatu hype for his unsanctioned match against Drew McIntyre.
- Backstage: Sami Zayn apologized to Nick Aldis about things being a little testy last week and was about to go cut a promo when he was interrupted by Trick Williams' music.
- Promo: Trick Williams with Lil Yachty, who will accompany him at WrestleMania. Sami Zayn came out to say he'll humble Trick at WrestleMania. Carmelo Hayes then came out to say he has a receipt for Trick and that how Sami won the title last week doesn't sit well with him, calling attention to the fans who have his support, challenging Zayn to a rematch.
- Aleister Black defeated Matt Cardona by pinfall.
- Promo: Drew McIntyre had a response about fighting Fatu. Nothing interesting or special.
- Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair defeated Bayley & Lyra Valkyria by pinfall. After the match, The Irresistible Forces beat everyone up.
- Damian Priest & R-Truth defeated The Miz & Kit Wilson by pinfall due in part to Danhausen accidentally cursing the referee (when The Miz pulled the ref in front of himself), making the ref unable to count a pinfall that would have won The Miz the match.
- United States Championship Match: Sami Zayn (c) retained over Carmelo Hayes by pinfall. Trick Williams and Lil Yachty beat up Zayn after the match.
