• WWE SmackDown airs from the OVO Arena Wembley in London in the second week of its international tour featuring new WWE champion Drew McIntyre.
• SmackDown will feature four matches to qualify for a Fatal 4-Way on next week’s broadcast from Montreal, QC, Canada.

WWE SmackDown from the OVO Arena Wembley in London advertised four matches to qualify for four spots in a Fatal 4-Way. Randy Orton vs. The Miz; Damian Priest vs. Solo Sikoa; Matt Cardona vs. Trick Williams and Sami Zayn vs. Ilja Dragunov. Zayn will be the heaviest favorite as the Fatal 4-Way match will take place in Sami Zayn’s home country of Montreal next week on January 23, 2026. This will be one night before WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in Montreal and just a week before Royal Rumble weekend in Saudi Arabia.

Next week’s Fatal 4-Way will likely set up a one-on-one match between Zayn and new WWE champion Drew McIntyre. Drew is undefeated against Zayn, who is still seeking his first world title win.

Last week’s SmackDown garnered 990,000 viewers amid stiff competition from the College Football Playoffs..
