WWE SmackDown Results (10/31/25):
- The night begins with Ilja Dragunov and the U.S. Open Challenge. Before the action started, WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton marched into the ring, saying she has a bone to pick with Jade Cargill and she’s not waiting around until tomorrow night. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis said that Stratton was “clear as tolerated,” meaning she cannot have any physical contact until her title defense. Stratton did not care at all, wanting Jade to come out. Ask and you shall receive. Jade Cargill would enter the Delta Center. Cargill made it known that Aldis shouldn’t be worried; she intends to do this clean, but it’ll have to be tomorrow night as she looks to claim the WWE Women’s Title, when it actually counts.
- “The Mad Dragon” kicks off Halloween SmackDown, as he defends the United States Championship in a U.S. Open Challenge. Nathan Frazer of Fraxiom would come out to answer the call. However, Tommaso Ciampa would push by him, making a beeline for Dragunov, asking if he’s really serious about giving Frazer a shot at the title. Ilja dismissed Ciampa, saying that Frazer answered first, and he needed to go off and try again, as the bell sounded. The Utah crowd got quite a show tonight in this amazing clash of styles. To his credit, Nathan Frazer brought it all, coming so close to dethroning Dragunov, executing a Frog Splash, and even a Phoenix Splash. Frazer would get frustrated in the closing moments of this match, slapping Dragunov across the face before ascending the ropes again to try and hit another Phoenix Splash. Dragunov would not allow this to happen, executing an Avalanche German Suplex. Dragunov would finish things off with a Powerbomb, then an H-Bomb to retain the title. Both men showed each other a lot of respect, shaking each other’s hand. As Frazer was going up the ramp, an irate Ciampa would blindside him with a shot in the back of the head, clearly still affected by what happened before the bell sounded.
- After the break, we see a fight break out between #DIY, Fraxiom, and even Ilja Dragunov. As Dragunov was trying to calm things down, Tama Tonga would grab his U.S. Title, making his intentions clear.
- Kit Wilson looks to dismantle the patriarchy by making an example out of Carmelo Hayes in a one-on-one match. Wilson got the upper hand early in the match, before Hayes would take control with his unbridled offense, even hitting Kit with an amazing Top Con Hilo. Before Melo could set up for Nothing But Net, The Miz would come out of nowhere and push Hayes into the steel ring post. Kit Wilson would try to capitalize, delivering a Diving Elbow. Hayes would kick out as Miz protested the call. Wilson would try to go for another move, but he would get caught by a First 48, as Melo pins him for the win. As the WWE official raised Carmelo’s hand to declare him the victor, The Miz would hit him with a Skull-Crushing Finale, saying that “it’s not over” until he says it is.
- Next up on this Halloween edition of SmackDown, Nia Jax enters the arena as she faces off with her former confidant, Alexa Bliss.
- Earlier in the night, Solo Sikoa and the Motor City Machine Guns got into it, leading to an exciting tag team match. Before the contest could start, Sami Zayn pleaded with SmackDown GM Nick Aldis in his office to accompany MCMG to the ring to even up the numbers. Unfortunately, Aldis informed Zayn that he is not cleared and can’t be present ringside. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes would speak about the Jacob Fatu incident, saying they hope they get to the bottom of this, before Aldis presented the contract to Rhodes, informing him that his SNME XLI contract signing for tonight is good to go.
- We go back to the ring as Jax awaits Bliss’ arrival. Jax was in control for most of the match; however, Nia would make a grave error. While she was dominating Bliss, Nia would get physical with Charlotte Flair on the outside, who accompanied her WWE Women’s Tag Team partner to the ring. Jax would go for the Annihilator, but Flair would get on the apron, distracting Jax. Bliss would kick her, leading to Jax falling hard and Bliss moving in for the pin.
- Tama Tonga and JC Mateo of MFT come out, looking to silence Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin of Motor City Machine Guns in a tag team match. MCMG had MFT on the ropes. That said, the MFT was out for revenge tonight. The Guns were outgunned, due to the sheer numbers of My Family Tree, Talla Tonga would get involved, distracting Shelley and Sabin. Tama would capitalize on the distraction, hitting the Back Elbow for the win. Post-match, MFT would brutalize MCMG, before Rey Fenix and Shinsuke Nakamura would make the save. The stars would get more than they bargained for, as MFT would clean house.
- To cap off the night, Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre make it official for Saturday night. With GM Nick Aldis as mediator, Rhodes would immediately sign the contract. As for McIntyre, he had issues he wanted to iron out before making it official. Aldis refused to play games, and Drew threatened to walk away. Rhodes stopped McIntyre, saying he agreed to the stipulation. With McIntyre satisfied, it was official for Saturday night. Before Cody would walk away, Drew once again pushed his buttons. Rhodes would not take anything lying down, saying that McIntyre was always someone who whined and complained, and Rhodes was a man of conviction and let his actions do the talking for him. When Cody was sick of WWE, he walked away, while McIntyre got fired. Drew would stoop even lower to get the last word, even talking about Cody’s children, which set the champion off the edge as a brawl ensued. McIntyre would end the night by slamming Cody through the table and delivering a Claymore, which was meant for Aldis, but Rhodes would put himself in harm’s way. McIntyre would hoist up the title, informing Rhodes that this was his final night as the “top guy” to end the night.
That’s all for REAL-TIME WWE SmackDown Results for October 31, 2025.
