MAIN EVENT MAYHEM!
Episode 35
Monday, 21 September, 2026
🔥 SAMI ZAYN’S “JUSTICE” ERA IS ALREADY CHAOSOne week into Sami Zayn’s second reign as Undisputed WWE Champion, the SmackDown main-event scene is getting more crowded by the minute.Kevin Owens gets the first shot. Johnny Gargano believes Sami owes him one. Trick Williams and Finn Bálor are already looking toward Money in the Bank. And just when it looked like CM Punk might actually take a rare Friday night off, Punk returned and threw the entire WWE Championship picture into even more chaos.And somehow, Sami Zayn is still champion.━━━━━━━━━━━━🏆 SAMI ZAYN VS. KEVIN OWENSYou could give us KO and Sami a million times and we’ll never get tired of it. But this one came with Gargano, Candice LeRae, CM Punk, a championship belt to the head, and a finish that didn’t exactly go according to plan.And Alexander has a hot take: Sami Zayn belongs in the conversation with Daniel Bryan when it comes to what he can do inside a wrestling ring.🎥 IS CODY RHODES CHANGING?Michael Cole puts Cody on the spot about what happened with Randy Orton, and Cody makes it clear that the next time he finds himself in that position, he won’t make the same decision twice.Is WWE actually beginning a Cody Rhodes heel turn—or do they just want us to think they are?💼 MONEY IN THE BANK TAKES SHAPETrick Williams and Jacy Jayne punch their tickets to Money in the Bank, while Trick makes it clear that the briefcase might not be the only championship opportunity he has his eyes on.🔥 SMACKDOWN STAYS RED HOTEven before Punk showed up, SmackDown delivered another solid episode without needing him on screen. That’s what happens when you stack the main-event scene with enough wrestlers and stories that everything doesn’t have to revolve around one person every week.━━━━━━━━━━━━🎙️ Also on this episode:👀 Jade Cargill continues to be positioned around the main-event scene, but Alexander has some serious questions about both her promos and where her in-ring work is right now.⚔️ Shinsuke Nakamura and Kyoki collide with Tama Tonga, Talla Tonga and Haku as the issues between Bakusai and the MFTs continue.😈 Damian Priest explains why he attacked R-Truth—and makes it clear he has absolutely no remorse.👑 Sami Zayn manipulates Johnny Gargano into helping him against Kevin Owens as the new champion’s version of “Justice for Sami” begins taking shape.📰 Plus, News & Rumors involving Omos and The Judgment Day, Paige officially joining the SmackDown roster, and the reported story behind the botched Sami Zayn–Kevin Owens finish.━━━━━━━━━━━━🛡️ Sponsored by ZARC InternationalPersonal protection starts with being prepared before the moment comes when you actually need it.Check out the full VEXOR lineup on Amazon or at Zarc.com.Be Prepared.
