Wrestlepalooza’s event card is already packed, but the final episode of WWE SmackDown before the show suggests some surprising adjustments could elevate the Premium Live Event further. WWE SmackDown Wrestlepalooza Updates reveal several possible last-minute match changes, adding intrigue ahead of the big night.
Tiffany Stratton Enters Women’s Title Picture on SmackDown
Speculation is rising as Tiffany Stratton, Nia Jax, and Jade Cargill appear on WWE merchandise tied to Wrestlepalooza, hinting at a potential storyline involving these women. Stratton and Cargill share a rivalry with Cargill targeting her first Women’s Title reign this year.
Following an attack from Nia Jax on both Stratton and Cargill during the last SmackDown, the groundwork may be laid for a triple threat match. Stratton initially aligned with Jax when debuting on SmackDown, even cashing in her 2024 Money in the Bank contract to seize the Women’s Championship from her.
Despite Stratton’s recent quietness—being pulled from NXT Homecoming without explanation—her involvement seems likely, positioning this match as a focal point for Wrestlepalooza’s women’s division.
Sami Zayn Set to Defend US Title After Intense Rivalry with Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa’s frustration boiled over after losing the United States Championship to Sami Zayn, leading to a tense confrontation on SmackDown. Zayn, meanwhile, paid respect to John Cena by defending the US Title against him in Cena’s final SmackDown appearance, echoing the courtesy Cena once extended to Zayn during his main roster debut.
Looking forward, Sikoa may challenge Zayn at Wrestlepalooza, possibly demanding a clause that excludes The MFTs from interfering in their match, which could heighten the stakes and reduce outside influence during their encounter.
Randy Orton Joins Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes in WWE Title Clash
Drew McIntyre’s attack on Cody Rhodes set the stage for their Undisputed WWE Championship match at Wrestlepalooza. While McIntyre and Rhodes prepare to face off, Randy Orton’s aspirations for a record-tying 15th WWE World Title have not gone unnoticed.
Since McIntyre’s return in July, he has sought to deepen tensions by questioning Orton’s loyalty and views on his alliance with Rhodes. McIntyre’s recent victory over Orton on SmackDown could ignite Orton’s push to secure a spot in the championship contest, making Wrestlepalooza’s main title scene more complex.
Wrestlepalooza’s Evolving Storylines Add Excitement for Fans
The potential additions of Tiffany Stratton to the women’s title match, the US Championship feud between Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa, and Randy Orton’s possible inclusion in the WWE Championship bout contribute significant uncertainty and anticipation to Wrestlepalooza. These developments, airing on the final SmackDown before the event, could reshape the card and intensify rivalries, ensuring fans will be eager to see how these storylines unfold live.
