WWE SMACKDOWN RESULTS: May 1, 2026
- The show opened with a promo from Cody Rhodes, who is medically cleared to compete. Ricky Saints came out and after some jaw-jacking, Rhodes challenged him to wrestle tonight.
- Rhea Ripley is willing to put her differences aside with Charlotte Flair if Flair is, so that they can work together and take care of Fatal Influence. Alexa Bliss tried to convince Flair that Rhea makes a good point, but Flair said three is a crowd and isn't interested.
- Jacy Jayne defeated Charlotte Flair by pinfall. Rhea Ripley made the save post-match and Flair reluctantly offered her a handshake.
- Damian Priest offered Fraxiom a tag title match. R-Truth was apparently just talking to them about taxes.
- Danhausen was able to avoid Kit Wilson's Looney Tunes trap and walked away with $40k in "free human monies" while Wilson and The Miz ended up having the trap blow up in their faces. I wonder if it was made by ACME. (Hey, WWE, free advice. That Coyote vs. ACME movie that is coming out has John Cena in it. You'd be stupid not to do some crossover there)
- WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Wepa Up (Damian Priest & R-Truth) (c) defeated Fraxiom (Axiom & Nathan Frazer) by pinfall. Talla Tonga then beat up both teams, per Solo Sikoa's directive. After a commercial break, Sikoa cut a promo about how Jacob Fatu made a big mistake last week. The Usos came out to say the issues Roman Reigns has with Fatu takes priority, so anything Sikoa is complaining about will have to wait. Sikoa motioned for Talla Tonga to take care of them. After he beat down The Usos, Sikoa said Reigns isn't his tribal chief.
- Sami Zayn bitched to Cody Rhodes about how he's tired of the misunderstandings between them, saying they're "the last real good guys" and that they're friends and they're the same. Rhodes said there's a lot of truth to what he just said, but they aren't the same.
- Cody Rhodes defeated Ricky Saints by pinfall. Rhodes was then attacked by Gunther.
- The Miz has come to terms with being cursed and is willing to be Mizhausen. Kit Wilson protested. The Miz made it seem like he chose to side with Danhausen, but beat him up with Wilson, laying Danhausen out with a Skull Crushing Finale followed by Wilson's elbow drop.
- Royce Keys defeated Angel Garza by pinfall.
- Tiffany Stratton wants to defend the Women's United States Championship in an open challenge. Chelsea Green is able to walk now after recovering some from her injury, which she thought was a surprise for Stratton, wanting to discuss her being the first to get a title shot to win it back for the fourth time. Kiana James and Giulia also came over to say Giulia deserves a rematch. Stratton says she wants a match next week and has chosen James instead, to see how she does when she's not being held back, causing some tension with Giulia.
- Royce Keys and Jacob Fatu chatted backstage. Keys wants Fatu to "Werewolf his ass up" and get to the top instead of letting Roman take food off his table, asking if WWE made him forget the smell of the streets. They were then attacked by Talla Tonga and Solo Sikoa.
- Sami Zayn was out in the ring with the gingerbread man, which he kicked in the balls, only for it to be a mannequin. Trick Williams then came out to go after Zayn, who ran away. Later, we got news The Gingerbread Man died (lmao) and he'll get a funeral on next week's SmackDown. In lieu of flowers, I direct you to the Smark Out Moment Patreon.
- Lash Legend and Nia Jax spoke to Byron Saxton about how they'll win the women's tag titles back from Brie Bella and Paige coming up.
- WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Match: Brie Bella & Paige (c) defeated The Irresistible Forces (Lash Legend & Nia Jax) by pinfall.
- Sami Zayn was upset about the Gingerbread Man's funeral. Nick Aldis then set up a match for Backlash of The Miz and Kit Wilson against Danhausen and a partner, if he can find one.
- MFT (Solo Sikoa & Talla Tonga) defeated The Usos (Jey Uso & Jimmy Uso) by disqualification when Jacob Fatu went on the attack, even taking Talla Tonga out with a Samoan Drop through the commentary desk.
