Jade Cargill Aligns With Michin And B-Fab In SmackDown Attack On Rhea Ripley

Posted by admin on March 21st, 2026

The road to WrestleMania 42 took a major turn during the March 20 episode of WWE SmackDown, as Rhea Ripley found herself outnumbered following a surprising alliance involving Jade Cargill.

The show, which took place at the Lenovo Center, featured a heated in-ring promo segment between Ripley and Cargill centered around the WWE Women’s Championship. Ripley made it clear that she believes the title needs her presence, suggesting it has lost importance while held by Cargill.

As the segment appeared to be wrapping up, Cargill began to leave the ring. However, the situation quickly escalated when Michin and B-Fab made their way to the ring.

The two surrounded Ripley, and what followed was a coordinated attack. Michin and B-Fab assaulted Ripley, leaving her laid out in the ring. The moment became even more significant due to recent tensions between Cargill and the duo, making their alignment unexpected.

After the attack, all three stood tall over Ripley, signaling a clear shift in the ongoing storyline. The development suggests that Ripley may now be dealing with multiple opponents heading into WrestleMania 42, adding new layers to the WWE Women’s Title picture.

With WrestleMania approaching, this angle introduces fresh uncertainty to the championship scene. Ripley now appears to be at a disadvantage, as Cargill’s alliance with Michin and B-Fab could play a major role in shaping the outcome of the title match in Las Vegas.

WWE continues to build momentum toward its biggest event of the year, and this development on WWE SmackDown signals that the women’s division will be a key focus in the coming weeks.

Randy Orton Snaps on SmackDown With Brutal Attack on Matt Cardona

Posted by admin on March 21st, 2026

The March 20 episode of WWE SmackDown from the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, ended with Randy Orton completely losing control, unleashing a violent and unprovoked assault on Matt Cardona that left the locker room — and the audience — stunned.

Earlier in the show, Orton seated in the middle of the ring, speaking candidly about his relationship with the WWE Universe. He said fans have cheered his music for years, and he tried to return that love, but something inside him shifted. The empty smile faded, and the Apex Predator resurfaced.

He spoke about legacy — specifically, the championships he wants attached to his name. Orton admitted he believed he could beat Drew McIntyre for the WWE Title, but Cody Rhodes winning the championship changed the equation. He wasn’t sure he could defeat Rhodes… until Cody told him he wanted the “best version” of Randy Orton at WrestleMania. That meant embracing the voices in his head again.

Orton said he needs that killer instinct to claim his 15th world title. Quoting his own theme song, he declared that the voices are telling him he will beat Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship in the main event of WrestleMania.

After finishing his promo, Orton walked backstage. Wrestlers quickly stepped aside, signaling the tension surrounding his mindset. That’s when Matt Cardona approached him, calmly trying to reason with him. Cardona referenced their long history and his connection to Cody Rhodes, hoping to ground Orton before things spiraled further.

Instead, Orton snapped.

He mocked Cardona, dismissed him, and then — without warning — punched him in the face, sending a clear message to anyone thinking about getting involved in his business. Orton warned Cardona to stay out of his affairs before walking off.

Later in the night, Orton returned to the ring and called Cardona out again. He apologized… then immediately dropped him with an RKO.

What followed was the most violent moment of the night. Orton dragged Cardona out of the ring as security swarmed. They briefly pulled Orton away, but he broke free, grabbed Cardona, and threw him back into the ring. Orton placed Cardona’s arm inside a steel chair. Officials pleaded with him to stop.

He paused — then stomped on the chair, appearing to injure Cardona’s arm as the crowd reacted in shock.

Randy Orton didn’t just send a message on SmackDown. He made it clear that the Apex Predator is back — and no one, not even old friends, is safe.

Damian Priest & R‑Truth Win WWE Tag Team Titles on SmackDown

Posted by admin on March 21st, 2026

WWE SmackDown on March 20 delivered a major championship shake‑up at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, as Damian Priest and Ron “The Truth” Killings captured the WWE Men’s Tag Team Titles in only their third outing as a team. The unlikely pairing stepped up to challenge the champions, MFTs (JC Mateo and Tama Tonga), and walked out with gold after a chaotic main event.

The champions controlled the early portion of the match, using quick tags, distractions, and outside involvement to keep Priest cut off. Mateo and Tonga leaned heavily on their chemistry, while Solo Sikoa’s presence at ringside added another layer of trouble for the challengers.

Momentum shifted once R‑Truth finally tagged in. Truth ran through his signature offense — shoulder blocks, a Blue Thunder Driver, and a “You can’t see me” sequence into the Five Knuckle Shuffle — giving the challengers their first real surge of the match.

The closing stretch turned into complete ringside chaos. Solo Sikoa interfered again, leading to a near fall after Tama Tonga got involved. Just as the numbers game threatened to overwhelm Priest and Truth, the Wyatt Sicks appeared without warning. Uncle Howdy attacked Sikoa with a Mandible Claw, and although JC Mateo managed to fend off the group, the distraction opened the door for the challengers.

Priest neutralized Tama Tonga on the outside, and Truth capitalized by hitting an Attitude Adjustment on JC Mateo for the pinfall, securing the victory and the WWE Men’s Tag Team Championships.

WWE SmackDown 3/20/2026: 3 Things We Hated And 3 Things We Loved

Posted by admin on March 21st, 2026

It was reported ahead of “SmackDown” tonight that at least one previously advertised match wouldn’t be going ahead, and when I read that, I automatically figured it would be Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre’s one-on-one that was previously announced by General Manager Nick Aldis last week. And, while false advertising, for lack of a better term, isn’t always my thing when it comes to wrestling shows, the all-out brawl between the two to get some heat leading into their reported (and obviously highly likely) WrestleMania match was fine by me. I was not a fan of many things tonight, but this was certainly one of them.

I like a good fight that continues on–and-off throughout the show. It means the brawlers really hate each other enough to continuously escape officials and security, and it’s almost always extremely entertaining. WWE also didn’t overdo the brawls tonight, surprisingly, and we got three good moments where McIntyre and Fatu were throwing hands.

The show started out with a car crash, quite literally, with McIntyre seemingly punching out Fatu’s windshield before dragging him through it. It was a hot start that had Fatu bleeding, and McIntyre came out to air his grievances in the ring. Fatu put a stop to that, however, and hit a big splash to the former Undisputed WWE Champion through the announce desk. It was an exciting way to start out of the show, and I really enjoyed it.

Later on, you had them interrupted a tense moment between Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga, which worked, and the show was then bookended by another brawl segment, one where Nick Aldis and officials had to run back to the parking lot to catch them after dealing with Randy Orton in the ring. The urgency of the rush from that chaotic scene to another was exciting and actually felt meaningful. While Fatu and McIntyre falling off the transformer area, scaffolding… thing, was a little cheesy with the camera angle, it was a fun way to end the show.

Fatu and McIntyre’s WrestleMania match has yet to officially be announced, but I like it. I’ve already basically forgotten about the pivot from McIntyre as champion back to Rhodes, and the fact that I really thought we’d be getting a triple threat match between these two and Rhodes for the gold at ‘Mania, and I’m sure that’s what WWE is going for at this point. Maybe I’ve just accepted what WWE has given me, but I want to see a McIntyre vs. Fatu stipulation match, probably a street fight, at WrestleMania. They work well together, and if tonight was any indication, that’s going to be one hell of a match.

AEW Dynamite Viewership & Ratings Report, 3/18/2026

Posted by admin on March 21st, 2026

AEW/Lee South

Following a very eventful weekend in Los Angeles, California, the stars of AEW returned to TBS and HBO MAX this week with the March 18 episode of “AEW Dynamite,” which saw all of the fallout from the Revolution pay-per-view that took place three days earlier. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage confirmed that they were next in line for a shot at FTR’s AEW World Tag Team Championships. “Timeless” Toni Storm was attacked backstage and taken out of action indefinitely, and Will Ospreay miraculously returned to action less than six months after having neck surgery.

Due to the overwhelming acclaim Revolution received, it seems as if a couple of extra people decided to give AEW a try this week as the TV ratings saw a huge increase. The Programming Insider and Wrestlenomics both confirmed that the March 18 episode of “Dynamite” averaged a total of 730,000 viewers, marking an 18% increase on the 619,000 viewers from the previous week, and 13% above the trailing four week average of 648,000 viewers. This is far and away the most watched episode of “Dynamite” of 2026, and is the highest average viewership the show has gotten since the Grand Slam Mexico special which took place in 2025. As usual, none of these figures include those who streamed the show live on HBO MAX.

There was another big jump in the 18-49 demographic as this week’s “Dynamite” posted a 0.13 number, a 44% increase on the 0.09 seven days earlier, and 18% above the trailing four week average of 0.12. The 0.13 number is also the second highest number posted in the demographic of the year so far, and the third-highest in the last six months. In terms of the prime time cable rankings, “Dynamite” ranked eighth for the night, placing behind the three hours of FOX News, the NBA on ESPN, and the NCAA coverage on TruTV. In terms of the other demographics, the show also ranked eighth in the 25-54 demographic with a 0.20 number, and Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer even noted that the show had the most amount of viewers over the age of 50 since the end of 2022 and start of 2023.
