Below are the results from tonight’s SmackDown, featuring Naomi turning heel.
– SmackDown started with Drew McIntyre attacking Damian Priest backstage.
– Randy Orton came to the ring and acknowledged the chaos that unfolded during his absence, including John Cena’s shocking heel turn. Orton said Cena turning heel gives a whole new meaning to Rock Bottom. He reflected on his friendship with Cena, noting that he was one of his few close friends, alongside Kevin Owens.
Orton praises Owens’ journey to WWE but accused him of being driven by jealousy. He pointed to Owens delivering piledrivers to Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn, arguing that while Owens might claim it was because of their ties to Roman Reigns, the real reason was resentment over their success.
Questioning what Owens could possibly envy given his own WWE achievements, including main eventing WrestleMania against Stone Cold Steve Austin, Orton recalled being told his spinal fusion surgery a year and a half ago would end his career.
Determined not to take anything for granted, he insists that despite his resolve to stay composed, Owens has angered him—so much so that he’s ready to prove Pat McAfee is only the second-greatest punter in WWE.
– WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton def. Piper Niven
After the match, Charlotte Flair attacked Tiffany and put her in the Figure 8 Leg Lock. Tiffany suffered a wardrobe malfunction (once again) during this post-match beatdown, as the screen went black.

– Pretty Deadly def. Motor City Machine Guns and Los Garza in a Triple Threat Match to become the #1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Titles
– Bianca Belair called out Naomi and asked if she attacked Jade Cargill. Naomi said she thinks Jade has been piggybacking off of Bianca. Bianca said is it a yes or a no. Naomi said:
“I did it. I did it for you. I did it for us.”
Bianca told her they’re done as a tag team and left the ring, which led to Naomi calling Bianca an ungrateful b*tch, thus officially turning heel. Cargill came out and took out Naomi.

Cody said he had to tell a lie to his daughter Liberty about what happened to his face, and will one day tell her the truth that John gave up and joined The Final Boss.
