A big title match has been announced for next week.
This week's episode of SmackDown featured an appearance from 2026 Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan, who was accompanied by Raquel Rodriguez. After Liv talked about her WrestleMania choice, Morgan and Rodriguez teased addressing 'the elephant in the room,' but Women's Champion Jade Cargill interrupted the duo.
Jordynne Grace was next to come out, and it led to General Manager Nick Aldis booking a tag team match between the two sides. The chaotic ending of the bout saw Raquel accidentally hitting Liv with a big boot to her face while trying to take out Cargill.
Rodriguez then had a staredown in the ring with the Women's Champion but Grace came out of nowhere, shoving the Judgment Day star into Cargill. This allowed Jordynne to pick up the victory for her team.
Later in the night, we saw Jade Cargill and Jordynne Grace arguing with each other backstage. The SmackDown GM once again provided a solution, booking a title match between the two for next week's episode of the show. This will be Jade's first televised title defence since she won the belt from Tiffany Stratton on November 1 last year.
The episode also featured the first qualifying matches for the Elimination Chamber. You can check out the names who earned a place in the bout here.
