The fallout from Wrestlepalooza continued on the September 26 episode of WWE SmackDown.
Less than a week from the latest Premium Live Event, SmackDown focused on the biggest news from the show along with the build to Crown Jewel, which is set to take place in Australia on October 11. With WWE Champion Cody Rhodes set to take on World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins at the show, The American Nightmare will appear live on SmackDown.
Two title matches took place as Tiffany Stratton defended her Women’s Championship against Nia Jax and Jade Cargill, while Sami Zayn put his US Title on the line in an open challenge.
