The August 14, 2026 edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown airs live at 8 PM ET from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. A marquee lineup of superstars is featured for the show, including CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, Trick Williams, and Gunther.
Ahead of their scheduled Undisputed WWE Title match next week in Toronto, both Undisputed Champion CM Punk and number one contender Kevin Owens are confirmed to appear live. Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton are also scheduled for appearances, with Rhodes looking to confront Orton after Orton returned at SummerSlam to cost him his title match and subsequently avoided an altercation last week.
In championship action, Women's United States Champion Tiffany Stratton defends her title against Fatal Influence's Jacy Jayne. Additionally, United States Champion Baron Corbin puts his title on the line against Carmelo Hayes, a match set up after Hayes attacked Corbin and declared the title match in his hometown.
Looking ahead, WWE announced a triple threat match for the WWE Tag Team Championship next week, where champions Wepa Up (R-Truth and Damian Priest) will face the War Raiders (Erik and Ivar) and The Tongans (Talla and Tama Tonga). The night's scheduled dark match features World Tag Team Champions The Vision (Bron Breakker and Austin Theory) defending against Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi. WWE also confirmed that Money in the Bank 2026 will take place on October 10, 2026, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
