What happened last week at SmackDown?

Drew McIntyre, despite being suspended, came back because Paul Heyman found a loophole in the WarGames contract. He teamed up with Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed to totally dismantle Cody Rhodes and The Usos, making it clear he’s now aligned with Heyman’s squad for Survivor Series: WarGames.

Over in the Last Time Is Now tournament, which could decide John Cena’s final opponent, Jey Uso beat The Miz, moving one step closer. And in another big moment, Zack Ryder returned after years away, but LA Knight took him out with his BFT finisher.

On the women’s side, Charlotte Flair stunned everyone: she told Alexa Bliss she won’t team with Rhea Ripley for the upcoming WarGames match, saying she doesn’t trust her. Meanwhile, Ilja Dragunov defended his U.S. Title against Axiom, pulling off a powerful combo finish, and Jade Cargill asserted her dominance by defeating B-Fab, ending things with a tense face-off involving Michin.
