WWE SmackDown card: July 10, 2026
Finn Bálor vs. Tama Tonga
WWE’s official preview:

Don’t miss the explosive showdown and all the action on SmackDown this Friday night at 8 ET / 7 CT on USA.
Trick Williams vs. Carmelo Hayes (Non-Title Match)
WWE’s official preview:
Last week, Carmelo Hayes confronted United States Champion Trick Williams and Lil Yachty in search of a rematch with the lemon stepping titleholder. Williams let Yachty speak for him and the celebrated performer proposed a non-title match between his Superstar and Him.
Trick then escalated things by delivering a backhand cheap shot to his would be challenger. In response, Hayes leaped over the top rope to take out the U.S. Champion and his “Lil” friend.
CM Punk returns to SmackDown Undisputed WWE Champion
WWE’s official preview:
This past Monday’s Raw proved to be an absolute firestorm. After Gunther took Cody Rhodes out of action with a brutal surprise attack, Chicago’s own CM Punk stepped in to replace The American Nightmare in a title match against Sami Zayn, ultimately capturing the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Zayn has since expressed his outrage on social media, there is no word on Rhodes’ condition, and the dangerous Gunther could strike again at any moment.
The landscape of WWE has once again been turned completely upside down. What will be the fallout on SmackDown now that The Second City Saint has captured the WWE Title?
