Preview & Predictions for WWE SmackDown:
On tap for tonight's episode, we'll have another open challenge for the Men's United States Championship, as Ilja Dragunov specifically said he wants to keep that going in honor of Sami Zayn and John Cena doing that before him. Last week, he was up against Aleister Black and beat him due to some interference from Damian Priest. It wouldn't shock me if this were the other way around, with Priest answering the challenge, just so Black costs him. WWE likes to do that. In any case, whoever Dragunov fights, he's going to retain the title.
Carmelo Hayes wants to put The Miz behind him and get back on track with refocusing himself toward progressing his singles career. Kit Wilson, for some reason, approached him after that interview and picked a fight. Wilson's most recently been a whipping boy for Priest, so this is an easy win for Hayes.
Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax will also face off. Two former friends and rivals, Jax was warning Charlotte Flair that Bliss will eventually turn on her. Is there anyone on the roster who would have Jax's back to set up a tag title match down the line? I'd love to see them bring up someone like Lash Legend to fill that role, and to have her make her debut here. But since that isn't the case, and no one else is particularly lined up for that spot, I guess I'm going to expect Bliss to win.
All that and more will go down tonight, so keep checking and refreshing for the most up-to-date results!
Here are your results for WWE SmackDown - October 31, 2025:
- Tiffany Stratton opened the show wanting to fight with Jade Cargill, but Nick Aldis forbids them from having any physicality as that would jeopardize Saturday Night's Main Event. Stratton went after Cargill anyway, but officials blocked her.
- Backstage, Motor City Machine Guns talked to R-Truth (who was dressed as Santa Claus, wishing them a merry Christmas). Solo Sikoa approached MCMG to say that the MFTs are more worthy of a tag title shot than Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin.
- WWE Men's United States Championship Open Challenge Match: Ilja Dragunov (c) defeated Nathan Frazer by pinfall. Tommaso Ciampa had also tried to answer the challenge, but Frazer was first, so after the match, Ciampa and Johnny Gargano went after Fraxiom and Dragunov, who then had a backstage run-in with Tama Tonga, who was holding his title belt.
- Carmelo Hayes defeated Kit Wilson by pinfall. The Miz interfered and tried to cost Hayes the match by attacking him, but Hayes managed to still win despite this.
- Alexa Bliss beat Nia Jax by pinfall.
- Rey Fenix wants a match next week with Talla Tonga and slapped him in a backstage segment.
- Also backstage, Kiana James and Giulia told Tiffany Stratton that she should've joined them. Then, Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre interrupted, as Green wants a title match against Giulia, which Nick Aldis signed off on. Nikki Cross then scared them.
- MFTs defeated Motor City Machine Guns by pinfall. After the match, Rey Fenix and Shinsuke Nakamura tried to help fight off MFTs, but all failed.
- Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre had their contract signing. The update to the match tomorrow is that if Cody gets disqualified or counted out, he loses the title.
