  2. 0:28Liv Morgan attacks Chelsea Green, starting a brawl that Tiffany Stratton interrupts.
  3. 1:50Blake Monroe and Giulia meet in a Street Fight.
  4. 3:26Cody Rhodes calls for a Last Man Standing match at Crown Jewel, and Randy Orton answers.
  5. 6:35Kevin Owens and CM Punk trade insults at a sit-down with Nick Aldis.
  6. 8:55Penta demands a six-man tag on the spot; the finish follows.

Nick Aldis offered Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton a match at Crown Jewel. Rhodes wanted more than that. "Last man standing!" he shouts, and Orton agrees with a warning attached: "But Cody, remember: you asked for this."

The stipulation changes the job. There is no pinfall to steal; the winner has to leave the other man unable to answer the referee's ten-count. That exchange sits at the center of WWE's "Full SmackDown highlights: Oct.23, 2026," a ten-minute recap that drew close to a million views since yesterday.

Aldis has a busier night than most of the wrestlers. He later sits between Kevin Owens and CM Punk to discuss their coming match in Brooklyn, and the talk turns personal quickly. Owens says dealing with Punk is what makes him miserable, and Punk promises to put him on his back. In the comments, viewers keep quoting a line from Owens about how the chairs should be arranged next time.

The women's divisions get a large share of the running time. Liv Morgan's attack on Chelsea Green grows into a multi-woman brawl that Tiffany Stratton interrupts, Blake Monroe beats Giulia in a Street Fight, and Michin and B-Fab win the Women's Tag Team Championship.

Trick Williams opens and closes the recap. He starts by demanding a title match from Sami Zayn, then scores the winning pinfall after Penta turns a ringside melee into an impromptu six-man tag. The comment section filled more than five times faster than on a usual first day for the channel. Many viewers are asking when the United States title will be defended, and some name Williams as the one they want to see defend it.
