Tonight's special episode of WWE SmackDown: Danhausen's Very Nice, Very Evil SmackDown (Friday, October 30, 2026) emanates live from Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, West Virginia and will air starting at 8 p.m. ET on the USA Network.
Results, match winners, promo segment notes and other major developments from WWE's blue brand will be added below as Friday Night SmackDown airs.
Preview & Predictions for WWE SmackDown:
On tap for tonight's Halloween-themed episode, Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn defends his championship against United States Champion Trick Williams. With Zayn scheduled to face World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel on November 7, the outcome could have major implications for WWE's upcoming Champion vs Champion showdown.
WWE Women's Champion Chelsea Green puts her championship on the line against Nikki Bella. Green is scheduled to face Women's World Champion Liv Morgan at Crown Jewel, but must first survive another title defense.
AAA World Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix also defends his championship against Ricky Saints. Their rivalry continues following previous championship encounters, while Fenix enters the match after his originally scheduled Heroes Inmortales defense against Mini Vikingo was canceled due to Vikingo's injury.
Danhausen serves as the host of the special "Very Nice, Very Evil SmackDown" presentation. Gunther has also announced that he will appear and do something special for Danhausen after expressing his dislike of Halloween and the attention being given to his rival. No match between Gunther and Danhausen has been officially confirmed.
I have no idea what WWE has in store for the Danhausen and Gunther stuff. If you had told me that The Ring General would retire Goldberg, AJ Styles, and John Cena, only to then be in a comedic feud against Danhausen, I would have been incredibly confused and I still am.
I obviously do not expect Sami Zayn or Chelsea Green to drop their titles. While I also assume Rey Fenix will retain his cruiserweight title, I don't think that's as much of a guarantee as the other two, but considering how much they decided to put on the idea of him defending it in the future against Mini Vikingo (who is currently injured), I just assume Fenix has at least a 60%, if not more, chance at beating Ricky Saints.
