After a tremendous edition last Friday night, which saw the road to WrestleMania 42 get shaken to its core, as we crowned an #AndNEW Undisputed WWE Champion, as well as multiple top contenders for the WWE and WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, Friday Night Fight Nights come to Phoenix, Arizona, as we trek through the desert in another heated edition of the WWE SmackDown results for March 13, 2026.
We have a Grudge Match between the WWE Women’s Champion and her long-time foe, as well as the two combatants in the main event of WrestleMania 42 for the Undisputed WWE Championship, put pen to paper. Not only that, we have a GRAMMY-nominated singer “roll up” to Arizona on the Blue Brand. The road to Las Vegas is paved in blood, and it looks like a lot more will be spilled tonight.
Now you know what you’re in for, let’s get this ball rolling. We provide LIVE updates throughout the night for this week’s episode. Let’s run it down.

WWE SmackDown Results (3/13/26):
SmackDown starts heated as we see SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis looking over the contract for WrestleMania 42 between Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and challenger Randy Orton.
Drew McIntyre would storm into the building, saying he’ll stay and disrupt the show until Aldis “makes it right.” Aldis would come out, saying there’s nothing to make right, saying McIntyre did this to himself. Drew stated Aldis was protecting his “golden boy” by granting him every opportunity in the book.
Aldis would reply with a fiery statement, letting Drew know that he gets why McIntyre didn’t want Rhodes to have a fair opportunity because he knew when he did, he’d end up getting beaten for the title, which is exactly what happened last week.
Jacob Fatu would enter the ring and stare down Drew. Fatu took responsibility for ensuring Drew didn’t enter ‘Mania as champion, letting McIntyre know that he shouldn’t blame anyone but Fatu, as he’s the one who “screwed his a*s,” asking him what he’s going to do about it?
Drew McIntyre would quit WWE, leaving everyone flabbergasted.
The Wyatt Sicks vs. MFT
We see MFT preparing backstage for war against The Wyatt Sicks. Shinsuke Nakamura would once again try to plead with Tama Tonga, only to get threatened by Sikoa, saying Nakamura needs to stay away from their family.
Uncle Howdy and Erick Rowan look to take care of business and reclaim their lantern against Solo Sikoa and Talla Tonga. MFT would dominate for the early part of the match, keeping Uncle Howdy isolated.
Howdy would find it in himself to fight, tagging in a monstrous Erick Rowan who ran through everyone in the ring. Members of MFT and The Wyatt Sicks on the outside would also get into it, as chaos ensued.
Solo Sikoa would hit Howdy with the Samoan Spike, but Rowan would make the save. Nikki Cross would cause massive destruction, taking the lantern that allowed Howdy to hit Sister Abigail for the win.
As instructed earlier in the night, Tama Tonga would keep the lantern safe, getting it back by hitting the Cutthroat on an unsuspecting Uncle Howdy.
Backstage:
- We see Damian Priest and R-Truth eyeing MFT, saying they’re ready to become WWE Tag Team Champions before getting interrupted by Los Garza. Both teams would get into it, then Priest would propose a match between the two teams tonight.
