WWE SmackDown is live tonight from the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida! We’re just one day away from the Royal Rumble, so entry onto the Road to WrestleMania is imminent. Let’s take a look at everything announced for tonight’s go-home episode of SmackDown:
WWE SmackDown card: January 26, 2024
Carmelo Hayes vs. Austin Theory
WWE’s official preview:
One of the top Superstars in NXT returns to the blue brand as the captivating Carmelo Hayes takes on the arrogant Austin Theory in a rematch of their match from two weeks ago.
The last match between these two budding Superstars was cut short as the referee called for the bell after a top-rope maneuver went awry.
Now, both Hayes and Theory are excited to run it back and earn a massive win ahead of Royal Rumble.

Will the fighting titleholders repel Damage CTRL’s dominant duo?
Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits come face-to-face with The Final Testament
WWE’s official preview:
The Earth might shake when Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits come face-to-face with The Final Testament live on Friday Night SmackDown.
For weeks, the new team of Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Paul Ellering and AOP have terrorized The All Mighty, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, and the trio is sick and tired of the mind games.
Carlito vs. Santos Escobar

One week after Santos Escobar, Angel and Humberto stole a Six-Man Tag Team Match victory over The LWO, the sinister Escobar will finally go one-on-one with the Superstar he sidelined for weeks, Carlito.
