WWE SmackDown Preview: Title Matches Await Fans at Kia Center

Orlando, Florida – WWE SmackDown returns this Friday, September 26, 2025, at 8 PM ET from the Kia Center, featuring a thrilling lineup of championship matches and rivalries. The event promises excitement as WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton defends her title against Jade Cargill and Nia Jax in a highly anticipated Triple Threat Match.
Stratton has maintained an undefeated streak in 2025, but the recent chaos around her title may impact her performance. Both Cargill and Jax have demonstrated their resilience, with Jax especially seeking redemption after falling short in previous title matches.
“I want that championship,” Jax stated in a pre-match interview. “I’ve worked too hard to let this opportunity slip away again.” Cargill is also eager for win, having previously fought Stratton to a draw, making this match crucial for both competitors.
Additionally, Sami Zayn will issue his fourth United States Championship Open Challenge after defending his title against notable opponents, including John Cena and Rey Fenix. Zayn’s fighting spirit and track record as a champion will keep fans guessing who might step up to challenge him next.
Fans can also look forward to a tag team match where Women’s United States Champion Giulia teams up with Kiana James against Michin and B-Fab. This matchup follows recent tensions and could play a part in the ongoing storyline surrounding the Women’s United States Championship.
The Kia Center will fill with excitement as WWE superstars Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, and Charlotte Flair are also scheduled to appear, adding to the night’s pulse. Rhodes recently retained his Undisputed WWE Championship and will be eyeing the Crown Jewel event scheduled for October 11 in Australia.
Catch all the action live on USA Network or stream it globally via Netflix, set to be a can’t-miss event in WWE history.
