10/31 WWE SmackDown Live Results

10/31 WWE SmackDown Live Results – Welcome to WrestlingAttitude’s coverage of WWE SmackDown on October 31, from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

We take a look back at what happened last week between Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill.

Tiffany Stratton storms past Corey Graves and Michael Cole to enter the ring, saying she has a bone to pick with Jade Cargill and isn’t waiting until tomorrow night. Nick Aldis walks out and warns her to think this through, reminding Tiffany that she’s only cleared “as tolerated” and that there’s to be no physical contact before their match. Tiffany scoffs and asks if Nick really thinks she cares what the doctors say after what happened last week, demanding Jade come out right now.

Jade’s music hits, and as she steps onto the stage, Nick again orders security to stay alert. Jade says “it’s not that serious” and promises she’s not going to do anything tonight, but adds that she “tasted her own blood a few weeks ago” and that tomorrow night, “Taffy time is up.” Tiffany charges up the ramp toward Jade, but security catches her mid-air before she can reach her. Jade smirks and backs up the aisle as Tiffany seethes and returns to the ring.

Nick Aldis is in the ring with TABLE, CHAIRS, and CONTRACT. Nick brings out Cody Rhodes.

Cody wishes Salt Lake City a Happy Halloween. Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring.

Nick says there is only one thing to do and that is sign on the line.

Drew McIntyre looks at the contract and tells Nick Aldis that he can’t sign it. Cody Rhodes, already holding a pen, signs his name without hesitation, prompting Nick to ask Drew for an explanation. Drew says the contract is lopsided — if he gets disqualified or counted out, he keeps the title, but if Cody does, he also keeps it. Drew refuses to sign under those terms. Nick reminds him it’s the standard contract and demands he sign it, but Drew stands firm, saying no. Frustrated, Nick warns that if Drew doesn’t sign, he’ll find someone else from the locker room who would gladly take his place and face Cody tomorrow night. Drew tells him to go ahead.

Cody stops Drew and calmly asks him to sit down. Drew reluctantly does. Cody asks what Drew really wants — a stipulation that if he’s disqualified or counted out, he loses the title. Drew says yes. Cody nods and says he’s “110 percent fine with that.” Nick tells Cody to think it over, but Cody insists he doesn’t want an easy way out. Drew agrees to sign the contract under those terms. Nick clearly isn’t thrilled, but Cody tells him it’s time to end this and let it happen. Drew signs, and Nick finally gives the okay.

Drew signs the contract.

Drew says this is a happy moment but he is sad that they are not friends.  He says he wrote the blueprint for Cody to finish the story.  You are corporate America and everyone cheers you when they should boo you.  Drew says he does not use his influence to get things.  He says he is the Real American Dream.  

Cody chuckles at the word play.  He says you should be proud of what you did.  You made a blueprint that people still follow today.  When the bright lights were shattered and you had to climb back up the mountain.  You did this because you loved it.  We owe you a debt of gratitude when you became the Scottish Warrior.  You did so much that WWE had to call you back.

That is where the stories change.  Cody says when he got fed up, he grew some balls and walked out.  You got fired.  Good luck tomorrow.  Nice guys used to finish last, and then he showed up.

Drew syas Cody will not get the last word and spin this your way to have the fans cheer you.  You give and give and they take.  One day they will turn on you like so many have turned on him.  You wear your orange suit to impress the people on Halloween.  What would be impressive is if you were with them right now trick or treating.  Your lovely daughters.  Drew asks Cody what are his daughter’s names.

Cody sends Drew’s head into the table and he swings at Drew with the title belt but he misses and Drew goes to the floor.

Nick reminds Cody that if he hits Drew tomorrow, he loses the title. Cody pushes Nick out of the way and Drew with a Claymore to Cody.  Drew with a powr bomb through the table.  He tells Cody to go home and see his precious family because he will take what means the most to him.  He will become the new WWE Champion, no matter what it takes.

10/31 WWE SmackDown Preview

On this Halloween night, WWE delivers a stacked episode filled with contract drama, personal rivalries, and championship implications—all leading into Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and challenger Drew McIntyre will meet face-to-face for a contract signing to make their November 1 title match official. Their recent encounters have been anything but civil, and tonight’s segment could escalate tensions even further.

Last week saw the shocking return of Jade Cargill, who stunned fans by attacking Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton. Tonight, Cargill will address the WWE Universe and explain her actions, potentially reshaping the women’s division.

In another heated rivalry, Nia Jax will battle Alexa Bliss after confronting Bliss and Charlotte Flair last Friday. Jax accused her former friend of waiting to betray her, sparking a confrontation that now leads to tonight’s match.

Kit Wilson and Carmelo Hayes will settle their differences in the ring after Wilson accused Hayes of toxic behavior. Hayes was previously sidelined by an attack from The Miz, which cost him a shot at the Men’s U.S. Championship.

Meanwhile, Ilja Dragunov continues his dominant run as United States Champion. After dethroning Sami Zayn and defeating Aleister Black in back-to-back open challenges, Dragunov will defend his title once again tonight against a mystery opponent.
