WWE SmackDown, held live from the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany, on January 9, 2026, delivered a night of significant upsets and action-packed wrestling. The headline event saw Drew McIntyre finally capture the Undisputed WWE Championship, defeating Cody Rhodes in a grueling Three Stages of Hell match. This highly anticipated bout concluded with McIntyre securing the win in the third stage, a Steel Cage match, after surprising interference from the returning Jacob Fatu. Fatu's intervention saw him attack both Rhodes and McIntyre, ultimately incapacitating Rhodes long enough for McIntyre to escape the cage and claim the championship. Beyond the main event, the night featured several other notable matches and segments. Trick Williams made his official in-ring debut on SmackDown, securing a victory over Rey Fenix. In championship defenses, Giulia successfully retained her Women's United States Championship against Alexa Bliss, while Carmelo Hayes also held onto his United States Championship, defeating Shinsuke Nakamura in an open challenge. The event also marked the in-ring debut of Jordynne Grace on SmackDown, where she defeated Alba Fyre. An eight-man tag team clash saw The MFTs emerge victorious against The Wyatt Sicks. The show kicked off with a segment featuring Randy Orton, who was interrupted by Trick Williams and later attacked by The Miz. The results from Berlin are deemed accurate and are corroborated by multiple credible professional wrestling news outlets.
