Drew stated Aldis was protecting his &#8220;golden boy&#8221; by granting him every opportunity in the book.<\/p>\n<p>Aldis would reply with a fiery statement, letting Drew know that he gets why McIntyre didn&#8217;t want Rhodes to have a fair opportunity because he knew when he did, he&#8217;d end up getting beaten for the title, which is exactly what happened last week.<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Fatu would enter the ring and stare down Drew. Fatu took responsibility for ensuring Drew didn&#8217;t enter &#8216;Mania as champion, letting McIntyre know that he shouldn&#8217;t blame anyone but Fatu, as he&#8217;s the one who &#8220;screwed his a*s,&#8221; asking him what he&#8217;s going to do about it?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/03\/13\/drew-mcintyre-quits-on-wwe-smackdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Drew McIntyre would quit WWE<\/a>, leaving everyone flabbergasted.<\/p>\n<h2>The Wyatt Sicks vs. MFT<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Backstage<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We see Damian Priest and R-Truth eyeing MFT, saying they&#8217;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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Jade Cargill vs. Michin<\/h2>\n<p>Next up, Jade Cargill looks to build momentum in a non-title match against Michin. When we thought we&#8217;d see another mauling due to Jade Cargill dominating the early game, Michin would take her to the limit.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, Michin had the champion&#8217;s number by heating Eat Defeat. Cargill&#8217;s instincts would kick in as she would roll out of the ring to avoid getting pinned. Jade would storm back into the ring and catch Michin with a Chokeslam, then eventually a Jaded for the win.<\/p>\n<p>Cathy Kelley would try to interview Cargill before getting the mic pried from her hands. Cargill would make her thoughts public, saying that she doesn&#8217;t see what the hype around Rhea Ripley is, and she doesn&#8217;t see her as a threat.<\/p>\n<p>Cargill said, &#8220;I&#8217;m me,&#8221; and she issued a stern warning to Ripley that <em>her<\/em> biggest challenge will be at WrestleMania 42, and Cargill will beat her in Las Vegas and show her why she&#8217;s always on top. In a surprising turn of events, Rhea Ripley would roll into SmackDown.<\/p>\n<p>Cargill would roll out of the ring, with Ripley saying she ran her mouth, but now she&#8217;s walking away. Ripley said she&#8217;s not &#8220;the&#8221; or &#8220;a&#8221; embodiment of women empowerment, but what she&#8217;s going to be is Ripley&#8217;s &#8220;b*tch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Backstage<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We see Nick Aldis looking to get in touch with Drew McIntyre, keeping Cody Rhodes in the loop. Sami Zayn would enter the fray, speaking to Cody about being champion once again. Rhodes got to the point, saying that Sami has been running around in circles, rooting for him, then Orton. Zayn said she said that he roots for Orton because he looks up to him, but he couldn&#8217;t say the same for Rhodes, who supposedly talks down to him like they&#8217;re not equals.<\/li>\n<li>Aleister Black and Zelina would try to get into the head of Zayn, with Sami imploring them to stay away from him.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>WWE Women&#8217;s Tag Team Championship Match<\/h2>\n<p>For their first-ever title defense, the Irresistible Forces put up the titles against number one contenders Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair. Prior to the match, The Bella Twins would confront Bliss and Flair, saying whoever wins tonight, they&#8217;ll be next up in line.<\/p>\n<p>Lash Legend and Nia Jax would overpower Bliss and Flair for most of the match, until Flair and Bliss would turn the tide with a Moonsault from the former and a devastating Tornado DDT from Bliss.<\/p>\n<p>The action would spill on the outside, with Jax almost wrecking the Bella Twins at ringside. Jax would get out of the way of Charlotte&#8217;s Thrust Kick, hitting Nikki flush in the face.<\/p>\n<p>Back in the ring, Flair would hit Jax with a Natural Selection. Bliss was one Twisted Bliss away from becoming new champions, that is, until we see The Bella Twins storm the ring, leading to the disqualification. All three teams would fight, with the situation ending with Jax delivering a Guillotine Legdrop, assisted by Legend, from the second rope to Nikki Bella.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Damian Priest &amp; R-Truth vs. Los Garza<\/h2>\n<p>Backstage, we see R-Truth and Randy Orton catching up with Jelly Roll, who&#8217;s due for an appearance on Miz TV later tonight. Damian Priest comes out as he and Truth, after their <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/03\/06\/challengers-for-wwe-tag-team-titles-decided-on-wwe-smackdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">number one contender&#8217;s victory<\/a> last week, look to keep it rolling as they take on Los Garza.<\/p>\n<p>Priest and Truth did not look like a team tonight, getting outperformed by the well-oiled machine team of Los Garza, which was punctuated in the initial stages of this match as Angel and Berto hit stereo Moonsaults on the outside.<\/p>\n<p>After a relentless assault from the Luchadors, Priest would go on an absolute tear, putting his team on his back, with the comeback being solidified by a Razor&#8217;s Edge on Angel.<\/p>\n<p>Truth would get tagged in, as the two would hit the Attitude Adjustment and South of Heaven to pick up the win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Backstage<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We see Alex Shelley and Candice LeRae tending to Johnny Gargano, saying he needs to be Johnny Wrestling again. Chris Sabin would get into it with Alex Shelley, saying he needs to focus on MCMG, as they have a match against Fraxiom next week, and he wants to see if Shelley is still committed to the team.<\/li>\n<li>We see Danhausen talking to The Miz, promoting his t-shirt and how he can give the merch to &#8220;Jelly Jam&#8221; on Miz TV tonight. Danhausen ran down his demands before getting silenced by Miz. Danhausen once again <em>cursed<\/em> Miz ahead of his interview with Jelly Roll on Miz TV.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Miz TV w\/ Jelly Roll<\/h2>\n<p>The Miz brings back Miz TV tonight as he speaks to Jelly Roll. Miz would butter up Jelly Roll, saying he needs a mentor to elevate his WWE career, but Jelly Roll would immediately say no.<\/p>\n<p>Jelly Roll said he loves The Miz, but he&#8217;s aware of the A-Lister&#8217;s history of turning his back on his partners. Miz said Jelly Roll owes him for losing 250 pounds after he helped him at SummerSlam two years ago. Jelly Roll said he&#8217;s the one who did that work, and Miz should be ashamed of taking credit for that.<\/p>\n<p>Miz would go a step further, saying he liked Jelly Roll more when he was &#8220;fat.&#8221; Jelly Roll would take exception to this, saying he&#8217;ll beat him down right now if he continues to provoke him.<\/p>\n<p>Kit Wilson would get involved, saying Miz isn&#8217;t the problem, but it&#8217;s Jelly Roll himself. Wilson would call Jelly Roll a bad role model, saying he&#8217;s &#8220;fatphobic&#8221; and promotes unhealthy beauty standards.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Jelly Roll saying he actually likes Kit Wilson, both men would go nose-to-nose. Jelly Roll would go for the home run hit on Wilson, only for Kit to duck, and The Miz to eat the punch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Backstage<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We see Ilja Dragunov and Apollo Crews laughing at the misery of The Miz. Carmelo Hayes would talk to Dragunov, trying to hype him up and looking for him to &#8220;lock in&#8221; and challenge him for the U.S. Championship. Hayes claimed there&#8217;s something deeper regarding why Ilja wouldn&#8217;t face him, and Dragunov just said he just can&#8217;t.<\/li>\n<li>Tiffany Stratton would send a message to Giulia, saying he&#8217;s about to destroy Kiana James, and she&#8217;s coming for the Women&#8217;s U.S. Championship as he pushed the wheelchair-sporting Chelsea Green out of the way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Tiffany Stratton vs. Kiana James<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s Tiffy Time, and Tiffany Stratton looks to make a statement against Kiana James. Stratton would take it to Kiana James all night long, and as she was going for the win, Giulia would get involved by pulling Kiana James out.<\/p>\n<p>Stratton would hit a Suicide Dive onto Kiana James on the outside. Chelsea Green would try to get involved, looking to strike Stratton with an object, before Giulia would get in the way, looking to preserve the match for her representative. Stratton would bring James back into the ring, before Giulia would get a hold of Stratton, holding her in place.<\/p>\n<p>Kiana would try to go for a kick, but Stratton would duck, instead hitting Giulia. Tiffany would go for the Rolling Senton, followed up by the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, for the win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Backstage<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trick Williams and Sami Zayn had a heated confrontation, with both men challenging each other to a fight. Zayn would claim they can do this anytime, any place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Jacob Fatu vs. Trick Williams<\/h2>\n<p>After running his mouth earlier in the night, Trick Williams finds himself in a match against a very angry Jacob Fatu. Trick would get some offense in, but it was clear Fatu was a man on a mission, taking control for the entirety of this match.<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Fatu was going in for the kill; unfortunately, Drew McIntyre, who quit earlier in the night, would assault Fatu, leading to two consecutive Trick Kicks that gave Trick Williams the biggest of his career, thus far. Post-match, Drew McIntyre would deliver a massive Claymore to put down Fatu before giving him a thumbs down.<\/p>\n<h2>WrestleMania 42 Contract Signing<\/h2>\n<p>Randy Orton and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes put pen to paper for their main event title match at WrestleMania 42. The two would sign the contract after exchanging a few words. Randy Orton would do the unthinkable and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/03\/13\/randy-orton-turns-heel-on-wwe-smackdown-assaults-cody-rhodes-ahead-of-wrestlemania-42\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">violently beat down Cody Rhodes<\/a> to end the night.<\/p>\n<p><em>That&#8217;s all for <strong>REAL-TIME<\/strong> WWE SmackDown results and updates for March 13, 2026, as they happened live from the Mortgage Matchup Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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&#8217;s Tag Team Championship, Friday Night Fight Nights come to Phoenix, Arizona, as we trek through the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3735,"featured_media":154836,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2192,26,4,3],"tags":[168,403,98,6558,549,3006,7442,8977,8663,9028,9482,8893,924,58,8343,9451,55,9083,8618,7988,8876],"class_list":["post-154835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wrestling","category-smackdown","category-wwe","category-wwe-universe","tag-alexa-bliss","tag-charlotte-flair","tag-cody-rhodes","tag-damian-priest","tag-erick-rowan","tag-jacob-fatu","tag-jade-cargill","tag-jelly-roll","tag-kiana-james","tag-los-garza","tag-mft","tag-michin","tag-r-truth","tag-randy-orton","tag-solo-sikoa","tag-talla-tonga","tag-the-miz","tag-the-wyatt-sicks","tag-tiffany-stratton","tag-trick-williams","tag-uncle-howdy"],"modified_by":"Michael Joseph Sugue, Manager","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3735"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154835"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154835\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":154875,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154835\/revisions\/154875"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/154836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
