Cardona showed up to protect his wife and wound up hitting the former World Heavyweight Champion with a low blow. However, the former leader of Imperium got the last laugh and defeated Cardona in a singles match. The 41-year-old took to social media following the loss and shared an image of himself hitting the low blow on SmackDown.

“Close, but no cigar…and I love cigars. #SmackDown,” he wrote.

Chelsea Green captured the WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam 2026 but suffered a broken orbital bone on the following episode of SmackDown. Instead of having Green relinquish the title, Nick Aldis informed the champion that she had thirty days to get cleared before action needed to be taken. Rhea Ripley captured the title at WrestleMania 42 but suffered a knee injury shortly after and has undergone surgery.

Gunther flips out after major WWE star returns at SummerSlam

SmackDown star Gunther was very angry after Kevin Owens made his surprise return at SummerSlam 2026.

The former Intercontinental Champion was added to the match between Sami Zayn and Finn Balor to make it a Triple Threat at the PLE. However, Nick Aldis then announced that Kevin Owens was also a part of the match, making it a Fatal 4-Way. Owens emerged victorious at SummerSlam to become the number one contender and will be challenging CM Punk for the title next week on SmackDown.

The 38-year-old flipped out after Owens won the match and took personal shots at him.

“He promised me I could join. And then they bring in this sweaty, fat jerk as well,” he said. (H/T: WrestlePurists)

Only time will tell what the future holds for Matt Cardona on WWE SmackDown following his loss to Gunther.
