#5. Shocking title change on WWE SmackDown
In July 2026, CM Punk returned on Monday Night RAW and defeated Sami Zayn to win the Undisputed WWE Championship. For weeks, Zayn demanded justice, and Punk gave him a rematch on the recent edition of Friday Night SmackDown in Mexico City.
In the match’s final moments, Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae tried to assist the challenger against the champion. However, the tide turned when Kevin Owens accidentally hit Punk with the title, and Sami Zayn capitalized by hitting his finisher for the win.
This marks Zayn’s second reign as the Undisputed WWE Champion in the Stamford-based promotion. CM Punk’s reign ended before it reached 70 days, and it’ll be interesting to see what’s next for The Second City Saint on Friday Night SmackDown.
#4. Major WWE update on SmackDown star – Report
Earlier this year, Jordynne Grace moved to the main roster under Triple H’s creative regime and joined Friday Night SmackDown. The Juggernaut had a few impressive showings inside the ring, but got injured ahead of WrestleMania 42 in Nevada.
The injury changed a few things for the former TNA Knockouts World Champion, and Grace hasn’t recovered her lost momentum. According to False Finish, management had creative discussions to bring Jordynne Grace and Ivy Nile back to the weekly product.
If they do return, it might be as a tag team in the women’s division. As of this writing, the idea was discussed but not approved, and Grace and Nile haven’t returned to the weekly product. It’ll be interesting to see what the company has in store for two rising stars.
#3. Unfortunate news for Rhea Ripley on WWE SmackDown
In July 2026, Rhea Ripley revealed she’s dealing with an injury, and management announced a 5-way Ladder match for SummerSlam in Minnesota to crown a new Interim WWE Women’s Champion. After the event, Mami revealed she had surgery for her injured knee, and all eyes were on Chelsea Green, who won the gimmick match in Minneapolis.
On the recent edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Chelsea Green successfully defended her title against Nia Jax in Mexico City. However, an interesting bit was discovered on the company’s website, as Rhea Ripley is no longer listed as the blue brand’s champion.
Chelsea Green has been officially recognized as the WWE Women’s Champion, and the company no longer calls Green an interim champion. It’ll be interesting to see how Green and Ripley cross paths in the future for the title.
#2. Update on Royce Keys’ WWE future – Report
Earlier this year, the former Powerhouse Hobbs appeared in the Stamford-based promotion as Royce Keys. After a few months, Keys entered a storyline with The Bloodline that changed his career’s trajectory. Last month, he formed 946 with Lucien Price and Bronco Nima on Monday Night RAW.
According to False Finish, the management views Keys highly and believes he could be a future world champion in the promotion. The company has a lot of faith in the former AEW star, and 946 could reportedly be factored into this year’s Men’s WarGames as well.
The future looks bright for Royce Keys, but Keys and OTM need to prove their dominance inside the ring, which they could do in the coming weeks in their ongoing feud with The Bloodline.
#1. WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio injured at Triplemanía 34
Triplemanía 34 is halfway done, as the second night will take place on September 13, 2026. Meanwhile, Night 1 ended on a shocking note as WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio lost to Omos in the show’s main event. The win brought Omos back to the brand, as his suspension was lifted.
However, The Nigerian Giant took it a step further and attacked the AAA General Manager following the match. It seemed like Mysterio was injured, and doctors came out to check up on him. As they strapped him to a stretcher, Omos launched another attack on the Hall of Famer.
The Nigerian Giant hit a chokeslam on Mysterio, who was strapped down, onto the announcer’s desk. It seems like the multi-time World Champion is injured, and this could be management’s way of writing him off the weekly product.
