In the aftermath of Crown Jewel 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, last weekend, WWE will deliver the November 13 edition of WWE SmackDown this Friday. Cody Rhodes defeated Randy Orton in a brutal Last Man Standing match, while Chelsea Green defeated Liv Morgan to capture the 2026 women’s Crown Jewel title.

However, Tiffany Stratton then betrayed her and cashed in the MITB contract to pin Green and become the new WWE Women’s Champion. The betrayal and the crowning of the new champion will be addressed this Friday.

Live from the Amerant Bank Arena in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the show will also follow up on this week’s Raw and kick off the build towards Survivor Series, likely announcing more matches for the PLE.

Announced for the show is an appearance from the 17-time WWE World Champion John Cena, who, since announcing the date and venue for the John Cena Classic, has been visiting Raw, NXT and SmackDown to invite participants in the tournament.

This will be his first appearance on the Blue Brand since the September 5, 2025 edition in Chicago. Apart from Cena, CM Punk, Tiffany Stratton, Trick Williams, Cody Rhodes, Gunther, and Jade Cargill are listed as featured superstars.
