John Cena, CM Punk, Tiffany Stratton and others booked for WWE SmackDown on November 13, 2026

WWE will present the November 13, 2026 edition of SmackDown live from the Amerant Bank Arena in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with appearances expected from John Cena, CM Punk, Tiffany Stratton, Trick Williams, Cody Rhodes, Gunther and Jade Cargill. The show follows Crown Jewel 2026 in Riyadh and will address the event’s major developments, including Tiffany Stratton’s MITB cash-in to become the new WWE Women’s Champion.

Last weekend at Crown Jewel 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Cody Rhodes defeated Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match. Chelsea Green defeated Liv Morgan to capture the 2026 women’s Crown Jewel title, after which Tiffany Stratton betrayed Green and cashed in the MITB contract to pin Green and become the new WWE Women’s Champion. WWE has said the betrayal and the crowning of the new champion will be addressed on the November 13 SmackDown. The show will also follow up on this week’s Raw and begin the build toward Survivor Series, with WWE likely to announce additional matches for the upcoming Premium Live Event.

The November 13 edition is set to feature a return by 17-time WWE World Champion John Cena, who has been visiting Raw, NXT and SmackDown to invite participants to the John Cena Classic since announcing the date and venue for the tournament. This will be Cena’s first appearance on the Blue Brand since the September 5, 2025 edition in Chicago. His cross-brand promotional appearances have included stops on Raw and NXT as well as SmackDown.

Khel Now’s list of featured superstars for the Fort Lauderdale broadcast includes CM Punk, Tiffany Stratton, Trick Williams, Cody Rhodes, Gunther and Jade Cargill alongside Cena. Those names are billed as the featured superstars for the November 13 show and are expected to be part of the segments addressing the fallout from Crown Jewel.

The next WWE Premium Live Event after Crown Jewel is Survivor Series: WarGames, which takes place on November 28, 2026, in Houston, Texas.
