Pearce made the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/07\/24\/nick-aldis-out-as-smackdown-general-manager-replacement-named\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">contract terms clear to Nick Aldis<\/a>, and he agreed. The two would exchange verbal jabs before Aldis would tell Gunther he&#8217;ll be the guy who got his &#8220;ass-kicked by his boss.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The two would brawl, with Gunther getting the upper hand by delivering a Powerbomb to Aldis through a table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Backstage<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sami Zayn aired out his grievances, saying a former Undisputed WWE Champion shouldn&#8217;t be benched for SummerSlam while others get their dues. Adam Pearce would make it clear that Zayn needs to earn his way back, and tonight, a Fatal 4-Way Match between Trick Williams, Royce Keys, Finn Balor, and Damian Priest will happen; whoever wins will face Zayn at SummerSlam in a number one contender&#8217;s match.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Brie Bella vs. Lainey Reid<\/h2>\n<p>One-half of the WWE Women&#8217;s Tag Team Champions, Lainey Reid, faces off against Brie Bella tonight. Before the match, Jacy Jayne would air out her frustrations about not being in the Interim Women&#8217;s Title Ladder Match. That said, she&#8217;s gunning for the Women&#8217;s U.S. Title of Tiffany Stratton. Before the bell even rang, Lainey Reid would sucker punch Brie as they brawled on the outside, and the bell officially rang as both would take it back to the ring.<\/p>\n<p>It was a quick match where the two would trade shots; Reid would try to cheat her way to the win, only for Brie Bella to counter in a roll-up for the win. Fatal Influence would attack like a pack of wild dogs, beating down Brie Bella and Paige. Fortunately for them, someone had their back, and\u00a0<em>she<\/em> will still do so at<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/07\/24\/nikki-bella-returns-to-wwe-on-7-24-smackdown-summerslam-2026-match-set\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"> SummerSlam 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Chelsea Green vs. Kiana James<\/h2>\n<p>Chelsea Green looks to join her bestie at SummerSlam as she takes on Kiana James. James would dominate the majority of this quick match, but Green would find it in herself to fight back. With one Un-Pretty-Her, Green joined the 5-Way Ladder Match at SummerSlam 2026 to crown the new Interim Women&#8217;s Champion.<\/p>\n<h2>CM Punk and Cody Rhodes Talk About It<\/h2>\n<p>After a tense exchange at Fanatics Fest NYC, Cody Rhodes and CM Punk do it again on this week&#8217;s SmackDown. Rhodes would &#8220;accidentally&#8221; drop the mic as he was handing it to Punk, harkening back to when CM Punk inadvertently hit Rhodes with the strap of the Undisputed WWE Title at SNME.<\/p>\n<p>Punk said he&#8217;s jittery around his friend, not knowing if he&#8217;ll get his teeth kicked in by his own brother. Cody shared that he both respects and has a bit of disdain for CM Punk, watching him go on to do all those great things while he floundered in the early part of his career, but he knows that the WWE Universe has chosen him. That said, even without the title belt, he&#8217;s doing the work the Undisputed WWE Champion is expected to do.<\/p>\n<p>Cody made it clear that he\u00a0<em>needs<\/em> to beat Punk to prove to himself he&#8217;s the man in WWE, and it&#8217;s the only way out for them to maintain this friendship. Punk would rebut that Rhodes is full of BS, and he doesn&#8217;t love or respect him, and if he does, he&#8217;s not equipped to handle being an Undisputed WWE Champion and can&#8217;t do what needs to be done to become champion, which means taking down the people he loves.<\/p>\n<p>Punk would remark that he&#8217;ll never stab him in the back, but at SummerSlam, he&#8217;ll break his heart. Rhodes says he&#8217;ll beat him at SummerSlam, and it&#8217;s pretty cut and dry. CM Punk would go nuclear, claiming he&#8217;ll hand him a &#8220;pillar to post as*-whooping,&#8221; because he&#8217;s the &#8220;Best in the World&#8221; and not even &#8220;Dusty&#8217;s kid&#8221; could do a thing about it.<\/p>\n<h2>5-Way Ladder Match for the Interim WWE Women&#8217;s Championship &#8211; Qualifier<\/h2>\n<p>Nia Jax looks to finally qualify for the Interim Women&#8217;s Title Ladder Match as she faces off against the woman who cost her the first chance to do so, Charlotte Flair. Jax was dominating the Queen throughout the match. Unfortunately, Flair would not go down easy and found herself making a comeback. Flair had this in the bag on WWE SmackDown tonight, but Jade Cargill would interfere, leading to her <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/07\/24\/charlotte-flair-joins-summerslam-2026-ladder-match-to-crown-interim-wwe-womens-champ\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">inadvertently handing Flair the win<\/a>, as an irate Jax went ballistic.<\/p>\n<h2>Fatal 4-Way Match<\/h2>\n<p>United States Champion Trick Williams, Royce Keys, Damian Priest, and Finn Balor go at it in a Fatal 4-Way Match to secure a lucrative opportunity at SummerSlam in the main event of these WWE SmackDown results.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Keep checking back as we provide<\/em> <em><strong>REAL-TIME <\/strong>WWE SmackDown results for July 24, 2026, as they happen in the Oakland Arena in Oakland, California.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This round of WWE SmackDown results will cover the fallout from WWE Saturday Night&#8217;s Main Event, which took place at Madison Square Garden, the home of the 2026 NBA Champions, the New York Knicks.
