LAS VEGAS The last pit stop before WrestleMania 42 was on Friday night.WrestleMania weekend is in full swing, and before the star-studded two-day event can officially begin, the April 17 edition of SmackDown gave people one last shot to gain momentum. The fans got to hear from those involved in the Undisputed WWE Championship match in Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and Pat McAfee, as well as other stars set to take the stage over the weekend.Aside from the final words, there was some wrestling. The Wyatt Sicks and MFT ended their feud with an eight-man tag team street fight, there's a new a No. 1 contender for the Women's United States Championship and the annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal has been crowned, which has proven to be a launching point for a successful year for the winner.Here are all the results from the final SmackDown before WrestleMania 42:Cody Rhodes ends showIn the final moments before WrestleMania, the Undisputed WWE Champion takes center stage to deliver another remark to Randy Orton and Pat McAfee.CM Punk surprisesJust as Rhodes starts talking, the World Heavyweight Champion arrives. The two share some laughs over their suits, but Punk advises Rhodes to stay locked in on his opponent and ignore the distractions from McAfee. He adds no matter what happens over the weekend, they will be standing there on Raw on Monday, April 20.Before Punk leaves, Rhodes gives advice for how to prepare to face Reigns and hypes him up in the process, telling him how excited his dad, Dusty Rhodes, would be to see Punk in this position. As SmackDown comes to end, Punk and Rhodes go into the crowd and hang with the fans.Andre the Giant Memorial Battle RoyalThe early stars is Royce Keys, and Joe Hendry makes a surprise appearance to set the tone. Talla Tonga and Keys are the hard-hitters that mostly take out the field, and the final four are those two alongside Otis and Aleister Black.Otis and Black trade hits before Keys comes in to take out Black. Just when it looks like Otis has momentum, Tonga eliminates him to set up the showdown with Keys. Tonga goes for the big boot but misses. Keys turns quickly to send him over the top rope and get his first major win of his young WWE career.Winning the battle royal has proven to lead to big years, so a successful 2026 may be in store for the newcomer. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair vs. Bayley and Lyra ValkyriaAn apparent confusion sparks a quick brawl between all four people, but it doesn't take long for the Women's Tag Team Champions to emerge and take matter into their own hands. Nia Jax and Lash Legend wipe out the field and let the other teams know who is standing tall heading into the match.Trick Williams speaksThere's no denying the aura of "Whoop that Trick," with Williams coming out to a raucous reaction. He calls out his WrestleMania opponent in Sami Zayn for attacking his friend Lil' Yachty at the last SmackDown episode and wants to settle their dispute now.Zayn's music plays, but what comes out is a man in a Gingerbread Man costume. Williams has fun with the character, but eventually, Zayn does come out, clearly frustrated. The crowd boos him as he mentions he hasn't been having much fun lately, and still understands why he is disliked..@trickwilliams_wwe this is so out of pocket pic.twitter.com/8fBqWn8gvw WWE (@WWE) April 18, 2026The United States Champion said while he agrees Williams is the future of the business, he hasn't shown anything impressive in the ring. Williams delivers his own disses back, and the two trade blows before Zayn sends Williams out of the ring.However, the Gingerbread Man is still in the ring, and Zayn delivers a Helluva Kick to the mascot. It distracts him long enough that Williams enters the ring and lands Trick Shot on Zayn, then holds the U.S. title over his WrestleMania opponent.Women's United States Championship No. 1 contender match: Tiffany Stratton vs. Jordynne GraceA fast-moving opening sequence allows both fighters to feel each other out, each displaying what makes them so good in the ring. There isn't a real clear advantage taken thanks to plenty of counters, even though there are pin attempts to try and change it.Still, it's an impressive athletic display going on in the ring, and after several back-and-forth moments, it leaves both competitors on the mat. Grace seizes the opportunity with a powerbomb on Stratton for the first major blow of the match, yet she can't turn it into a victory. Stratton quickly recovers with a powerful hit to Grace, dropping her to set up the Prettiest Moonsault Ever. She lands it to secure the pin, officially becoming the No. 1 contender for the Women's United States Championship. After the win, Stratton stares down Giulia, knowing she now gets to challenge for the gold.Better hold on to that title tight, @giulia0221g! @tiffstrattonwwepic.twitter.com/km298TNox8 WWE (@WWE) April 18, 2026Jade Cargill and Rhea Ripley face-offWith Michin and B-Fab on her side, the WWE Women's Champion grabs the microphone, but before she can say anything, Ripley interrupts her.The challenger threatens Cargill but said she wants to wait until WrestleMania so she can "embarrass" her. When B-Fab interrupts her, much to the displeasure of the crowd, Ripley notes Cargill spends too much time hiding and she can't beat her on her own. She has B-Fab and Michin leave so the two stars can meet face-to-face so she can make her own prediction."Sunday, I'm putting belt-to-(expletive)," Cargill said.Ripley calls Cargill a few names to let her know it will be a quick match and that she will take the title.WWE Tag Team Championship match: Damian Preist and R-Truth (c) vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Grayson Waller)Waller has some initial problems with the champions, but he finds his footing not too long after the opening attack, and Kingston comes in to join in on the fun. The challengers target R-Truth during their offensive role, even stealing one of his shoes.There's some disagreement between Kingston and Waller, and that gives R-Truth enough time to break up their flow and get the tag to Priest, who quickly showcases his power to both opponents. R-Truth recovers, and he does the Five-Knuckle Shuffle with Priest for the signature moment. Priest then puts the finishing touches on it to retain the titles.THAT'S teamwork @ArcherOfInfamy@RonKillingspic.twitter.com/41QSg06K2t WWE (@WWE) April 18, 2026Jacob Fatu rides in police car"The Samoan Werewolf" makes quite the entrance, riding in on a police car.

The group are clicking until Talla Tonga uses the steel steps to wipe out his opponents and turn the tide.The assault continues with Solo Sikoa taking out a kendo stick, unleashing several shots at Uncle Howdy to show his dominance over the other leader. The Wyatt Sicks try to get some offense in, but the dominating presence of Tonga proves to be a lot for them to overcome.It takes Erick Rowan to be over to take down the enforcer. He goes flying outside of the ring to take out Tonga, and pays tribute to Brodie Lee with his signature gesture. That's when the Wyatt Sicks bring out the toys, from steel chairs to garbage cans, although MFT uses it to their advantage and are the ones to unleash the ultimate pain.The Wyatt Sicks try to get out of the struggle, but MFT is too much. Tama Tonga gets ready to the knockout shot to Uncle Howdy, but Sikoa comes in to deliver the Samoan spike instead and gets the pin. While it is a victory, there's clear tension between Sikoa and Tonga.Randy Orton voices frustrations with Cody RhodesAbout to face a one-time friend, Orton said how his WrestleMania opponent constantly takes and how many times he had the back of "The American Nightmare." He details all the beatings he has taken just to defend Rhodes, and how much it hurt his credibility.PERMISSION?!@RandyOrton doesn't need permission! pic.twitter.com/jEmKhfXCov WWE (@WWE) April 18, 2026"All Cody Rhodes does is take, take, take," Orton said.
