WWE SmackDown Results (9/26/25): Live Match Updates and Highlights
Michael Cole and Booker T are featured in the commentary. They say Corey Graves won’t be on TV for a while because of what Brock Lesnar did last week.
Then you’ll get a summary of Wrestlepalooza.
Paul Heyman is in the ring. He gives his usual introduction and says there’s a lot to cover, but it only takes two hours to do that. He jokes that it won’t take two hours. Heyman then paraphrases a particular secondary champion and asks the Orlando crowd, “What do you want to talk about?”
Paul Heyman asks the crowd if he wants to talk about Seth Rollins. When they respond loudly with a “no”, Paul brushes it and says that Rollins’ greatness is beyond their pay grade. He wants to talk about Roman rule, but I think it’s disrespectful to talk about someone who’s just grown from Paris by Bronson Reed. Heyman then shifts gear and talks about the “dog” going to WrestleMania for the next five to ten years, suggesting leading WWE to the 2030s and 2040s. Or should they talk about the theory and rumors of the plot surrounding Brock Lesnar?
The drums hit, as Paul leaned against the idea, and Cody Rhodes’ music cuts him off. Cody leaves and heads for the ring. Cody Rhodes begins by asking the crowd if they saw the summary. He then says he made a different story last week. He shouldn’t call Paul Heyman a goon. In fact, he doesn’t think Paul is a fool at all. He calls Heyman one of the smartest men he’s ever known, but he accuses him of constantly stirring things up. Cody then gives the looming name – Brock Lesnar.
Cody says he can’t accuse without backing them up, he asks the production to roll footage of Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza.
After the video, Cody expresses his concern. He says he knows Brock Lesnar, but not as much as Paul. And judging by that expression on Brock’s face, Cody asks if it’s really “a night thing.” He asks Paul directly: Who is he talking to now? Oracles, wise men or advocates?
Heyman fights back by saying that Cody is talking to the goat. As the greatest of all time, Paul says he respects Cody by standing up against him about Brock. He added that everyone knows that when Brock is there, no one is safe. But there’s some good news – Block…
At that moment, Bron Blakeker and Bronson Reed are interrupted and head to the ring. Paul says Brock isn’t here, but Cody asks why he thinks it means he’s safe. Bron and Bronson step into the ring and close to Cody.
Cody looks at both men and says that it’s time. He hears all the stories about how dangerous they are and how they are the future of WWE. Perhaps that’s true. He points out how Paul tells Bron to say he is the main event for future WrestleMania, but he tells the same thing to Bronson. Cody admits that when he was their age he would have been killed to become a “Heyman man.” But he warns them: Paul Heyman’s loyalty? Not with them.
Bron takes off his shirt. Bronson approaches. Cody quietly removes his jacket and hands his watch to Booker T at ringside. Cody says that may not be the cleverest decision, but they seem to want a fight. Cody attacks first and throws punches at both Bron and Bronson. He dodged, and Bronson accidentally slammed Bron. Cody goes to Bron’s Crossroads, but the flying clothesline stops him.
Before things escalate further, Randy Orton’s music hits. Randy runs down the ramp and nails Bronson Reed with a punch and slams him into the barricade. Inside the ring, he swings with the bron, but is pushed out. Regardless, Orton hits RKO with Reed instead. Cody cleans the ring by washing bron over the top rope.
Kathy Kelly is behind the scenes, earning street benefits. She asks them about the current tag team title image and the tensions that are spinning.
