Spoilers: WWE SmackDown (Sept. 25, 2026) — Full Match Lineup and Backstage Notes

# What happened on SmackDown (Sept. 25, 2026)

WWE ran a two-hour SmackDown in Indianapolis with multiple Money In The Bank qualifying matches, backstage vignettes, and a six-woman tag. The internal spoiler rundown lists match results and a set of backstage interactions intended to advance the Money In The Bank build and several ongoing rivalries.

Matches and results

• Dark match: Je'Von Evans, CM Punk and Oba Femi defeated The Vision.
• Trick Williams defeated Baron Corbin in a singles match.
• Lash Legend won her Money In The Bank qualifying triple threat (opponents not specified in the spoilers) and earned a spot in the ladder match.

• Chelsea Green, Tiffany Stratton and Paige beat Fatal Influence in a six-woman tag after a Nikki Bella distraction.
• CM Punk defeated Gunther and Finn Balor in a triple threat to qualify for Money In The Bank.

CM Punk's victory is listed as the main event result and secures his place in the Money In The Bank ladder match. Trick Williams' win and Lash Legend's qualification were also flagged in the spoilers.

Backstage segments and promos

The show included multiple backstage pieces intended to set or extend TV storytelling rather than deliver surprises in the ring.

• Chelsea Green, Nikki Bella, Paige and Tiffany Stratton appeared together in a backstage segment ahead of the six-woman tag.
• Giulia and Blake Monroe had a backstage encounter.
• Sami Zayn, Finn Balor, Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae appeared together backstage.
• Gunther was interviewed and briefly targeted by Danhausen, who attempted to place a curse and received a stern warning in response.
• Cody Rhodes delivered a promo during the show.
• A backstage group shot included Charlotte Flair, Tatum Paxley, Alexa Bliss, Jade Cargill, B-Fab and Michin.

These segments tie directly into the Money In The Bank qualifiers announced for next week and ongoing programing across the roster.

Storylines and next steps

• Next week's announced Money In The Bank qualifiers are Tatum Paxley vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Candice LeRae, and Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens vs. Johnny Gargano.
• The spoiler notes position CM Punk, Trick Williams and Lash Legend as confirmed entrants in the Money In The Bank ladder match, with more participants to be determined through next week's qualifiers.
• Fatal Influence's loss after a Nikki Bella distraction suggests further interaction between Nikki Bella, Chelsea Green's group, and Fatal Influence on future SmackDown episodes.

If you follow the Money In The Bank build, this episode advances the ladder-match field and leaves the next SmackDown with at least two additional qualifiers already booked.

# Bottom line

In The Bank match. CM Punk, Lash Legend and Trick Williams are listed as new entrants, and next week will add at least two more competitors through announced triple-threat qualifiers.
