 Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair were speaking with each other outside Nick Aldis' office tonight during SmackDown. Bliss made Charlotte an offer, but unfortunately, she was turned down despite her best attempts. They were interrupted as Giulia made her way out of the office, exchanging a look with both of them. Soon after, Nick Aldis followed her out. The SmackDown General Manager revealed to both Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss that he had just signed Giulia to SmackDown. She is now officially a part of the blue brand. |  On SmackDown, Charles Robinson officiated the match between Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and Rey Fenix tonight. Triple Threat matches can sometimes go hard and fast, and get away from the referee. That was not the case this week, as Robinson was standing with a perfect view of everything happening in the match, keeping his eye on everything. However, despite having the perfect view of the match, he made a big mistake. During a moment when Rey Fenix had rolled up Solo Sikoa for the pin, he was looking at them instead of counting the pin. It took quite a few seconds before he jumped down and started the pinfall. By then, it was too late, and Sikoa broke the pinfall, with Rey Fenix losing his opportunity. Sikoa went on to win the match. After the bout, Charles Robinson posted on WWE SmackDown, apologizing for and taking responsibility for the botch. |

Billy Jack Haynes was charged with murder in the second degree and unlawful use of a weapon in connection with the death of his wife. Jan Becraft was killed in February 2024, and authorities got to know about the shooting at 9:52 AM. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was to stand trial this upcoming December. The medical examiner also ruled that Becraft died of homicide by gunshot wound.
