WWE SmackDown recap & reactions (Oct. 2, 2026): Unfinished Business

Unfinished Business Kevin Owens won his way into the Money in the Bank ladder match in the main event of SmackDown in a bout that featured Cody Rhodes and Johnny Gargano. The match started slow and maybe a bit sloppy, but the final segment of it really pulled it together. Johnny was the glue guy in the match. I’m glad they dusted him off and allow him to contribute to good matches instead of planking backstage. Randy Orton is the reason Cody did not win. Rhodes hit KO with a Cross Rhodes but Orton pulled out referee Charles Robinson (Lil Natch!) before he could count three. In Owens defense, many people kick out after one Cross Rhodes so he was probably just waiting for the last possible second to conserve his energy. This immediately led to an Orton/Rhodes brawl outside. Cody pushed his foe into the ring post and then lined him up for a punt – the move he didn’t have it in him to deliver at Saturday Nights Main Event. We’ll never know if Rhodes had what it takes to deliver it (my gu

Randy Orton’s Shocking Intervention Changes WWE’s Final MITB Qualifier

Kevin Owens punched his ticket to the men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match on the Oct. 2 episode of WWE SmackDown. However, it was not a straightforward affair. The final qualifier took a major turn when Randy Orton inserted himself into the action. Cody Rhodes appeared to have the victory within reach before The […] The post Randy Orton’s Shocking Intervention Changes WWE’s Final MITB Qualifier appeared first on Wrestlezone.

Randy Orton screws Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens qualifies for Money in the Bank

There was only one spot remaining in the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match going into this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown in Denver, and one final triple threat qualifier was booked to decide it: Kevin Owens vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Johnny Gargano. Sami Zayn told Gargano beforehand he wouldn’t be able to assist him, instead delivering a motivational speech and hoping for the best. Candice LeRae was still available, but she ended up taking a bump on a table that didn’t break. Naturally, Rhodes put her husband through it shortly after. In the end, you won’t be surprised to learn Randy Orton showed up just as Rhodes was about to win the match, pulling the referee out of the ring before he could count to three. He had the chance to hit the Patented Punt on The Viper and, like he said he would, he went for it. He never made it, however, because Gargano was right there to knock him away. By the time he recovered, Owens had hit a Pop up Powerbomb on Gargano and Orton was recovered eno

Final Money in the Bank qualifiers are set

WWE has made it through all but two qualifiers for the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder matches scheduled for this year’s Money in the Bank premium live event on Oct. 10, 2026, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. Those two triple threat matches will both take place on next week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown. They are: Kevin Owens vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Johnny Gargano They’re getting more star power cooked up for the men’s match, and it only makes sense to go this route after CM Punk qualified this week. Randy Orton is surely going to make his presence felt, as will WWE Champion Sami Zayn. It’s hard to imagine Owens losing this one, interference be damned. Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, Penta, and Punk have already qualified. Tiffany Stratton vs. Tatum Paxley vs. Candice LeRae The story here is LeRae got in because Zayn pushed for it. Meanwhile, Paxley looks to continue a relatively hot start on the main roster while Stratton is trying to be

SmackDown recap & reactions (Sep. 25, 2026): Randy Orton keeps it real

Keep It Real "I never changed" 😯@RandyOrton believes there is only one man in the locker room who has not let evolution change his legacy…HIM! pic.twitter.com/PHToZYXlO8 — WWE (@WWE) September 26, 2026 There’s an old saying in Hip Hop that has different meanings to different people, but it was the mission statement for at least a decade: keep it real. Every artist defined “real” for themselves. At its core, it always came back to being true to yourself. There were even Sprite commercials dedicated to that notion that featured rappers. I really do miss the 1990s. Anyway, I thought about that listening to Randy Orton on this edition of SmackDown. Randy, shocking no one, had a lot on his mind after hearing what Cody said when he thought the cameras cut off last week. Randy’s words cut through Cody’s veneer because despite what Cody says, he really has changed. Randy walked us through the evolution from “Dusty’s kid” to now. The one constant in Cody’s career is, no pun intended, evol

WWE Raw preview (Sept. 21, 2026): One of WWE’s missing top stars is back to dominate Raw

Raw airs tonight (Sept. 21) with a live show emanating from Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. This is the eight episode of Raw during the ten week build to Money in the Bank, which takes place on October 10. One of WWE’s missing top stars is back to dominate Raw The list of participants for this year’s Money in the Bank ladder matches features plenty of newer WWE stars such as Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans, Jacy Jayne, Sol Ruca, and Lola Vice. The Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez will look to keep that trend going tonight when she competes in a 3-way qualifying match on Raw. The only problem is that she’s going up against one of the very best wrestlers on the WWE roster in IYO SKY. IYO has not wrestled on Raw since early August, but she’s back tonight to face Roxanne and AAA Reina de Reinas Champion La Catalina in this high stakes 3-way bout. Other former world champions like Jade Cargill, Randy Orton, and Rey Mysterio have had some bad luck thus far when it comes to qualifying for t

WWE Stock Report: Big Cass is a big dud so far in his return to WWE

Some places do power rankings. Here at Cageside, we do a stock report. In this weekly series, we identify three Superstars (or groups of Superstars) who are on their way up, and three that are moving in the opposite direction. After a busy week that included The Judgment Day beating up El Grande Americano on Raw in Mexico City, Sami Zayn’s latest WWE championship reign lasting longer than seven days, and Danhausen blocking some guy named Mickie from calling Nick Aldis, a lot of fortunes were changed. With that in mind, let’s see whose stock decreased the most this week: Stock Down #3: Randy Orton & Jade Cargill Both of the 3-way Money in the Bank qualifying matches on this week’s SmackDown had the same finish, with a former world champion heel hitting their finishing move on a weaker babyface, only for the third person to steal the pin for the win. In this case, Orton and Cargill are the top stars who seemingly had their respective matches won but couldn’t seal the deal. The idea behin

Cody Rhodes is two different people

WWE said we would be getting a sit down interview with Cody Rhodes on Friday Night SmackDown this week, with the man who calls himself QB1 responding to his indecision in punting Randy Orton’s head off his shoulders. It cost him, as he lost the match because of it. What does that do to a guy? Well, here’s what we got on the broadcast: Buttoned up Cody, doing his best to put a brave face on, saying all the right things, acting like the top babyface trying hard to represent the company the right way. He gets progressively more upset as the interview goes along, and ends things by saying when the situation with Orton comes up again “I’m not going to make the same decision I made at Sunday Night’s Main Event.” He seems almost troubled by that as he thanks Michael Cole for the interview and they fade out. And then Triple H went online and posted this: Sometimes you need to keep the camera rolling to get to the truth. @CodyRhodes #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/Jrvwd3rAWz — Triple H (@TripleH
