WWE SmackDown set for October 30 in Charleston with three title matches featuring Sami Zayn, Chelsea Green and Rey Fenix

The October 30 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, titled “Danhausen’s Very Nice, Very Evil SmackDown,” will be held at the Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, West Virginia and will feature Undisputed champion Sami Zayn, WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green, challenger Nikki Bella, AAA Cruiserweight champion Rey Fenix and Ricky Saints. Three championship matches have been announced for the Halloween-themed show.

The blue brand has promoted the episode as a special Halloween-themed edition as it continues its build toward Crown Jewel 2026, with Danhausen serving as host. The announced title matches are: Women’s Championship — Chelsea Green (c) vs Nikki Bella; Undisputed WWE Championship — Sami Zayn (c) vs Trick Williams; and AAA Cruiserweight Championship — Rey Fenix (c) vs Ricky Saints.

Reigning AAA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix will defend his title against Ricky Saints after Saints demanded another title shot following a controversial disqualification finish that intensified their rivalry. Fenix looks to decisively silence his outspoken challenger, while Saints aims to prove he finally belongs at the top and capture the gold.

On the October 23 episode of SmackDown, Trick Williams confronted Sami Zayn during a promo, reminding the Undisputed champion that he holds a victory over Zayn from WrestleMania 42 and using that leverage to demand a title shot. Later that same night Williams pinned Ricky Saints in a six-man tag team main event — teaming with Penta and Rey Fenix to defeat Zayn, Johnny Gargano, and Saints — and General Manager Nick Aldis officially granted Williams the championship match.

Chelsea Green will put the WWE Women’s Championship on the line against Nikki Bella after Bella defeated Paige on the October 16 episode and Green offered an immediate title opportunity. "The Fearless One" declined the initial date due to scheduling conflicts with Hall of Famer activities, deliberately picking October 30 as the night she would challenge the champion.

Danhausen will host the Halloween-themed show billed as "Danhausen’s Very Nice, Very Evil SmackDown." For more updates, follow Khel Now Wrestling on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram; download the Khel Now Android App or IOS App and join our community on Telegram & Whatsapp.
