WWE SmackDown Results – September 11, 2026 – Welcome to WrestlingAttitude’s live coverage results of WWE SmackDown on September 11, from the Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico.
We are live from the Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico, as Randy Orton makes his way to the ring to start the show.
Orton asked the crowd what they wanted to talk about. He said he wanted to talk about Cody Rhodes. Less than a week ago, in front of Cody’s friends, family, his mother, and his wife, Randy said he showed everyone exactly who Cody is. Randy said Cody is not a killer — he’s a good man, a good father, a good husband, and a good friend.
Randy said it takes a lot to put down a legend, and he would know because he spent years systematically killing legends. He said it takes a piece of your soul, and Cody’s soul isn’t for sale. Cody is no killer — but Randy said he is. He doesn’t care how people perceive him. Anyone who gets between him and number fifteen, he won’t hesitate to pull the trigger or empty the clip.
Randy said whoever wins tonight, he’s coming for them with the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment: R… K… O.
Backstage – Chelsea Green, Nick Aldis & Tiffany Stratton
Nick Aldis told Chelsea Green that if she loses her mask tonight, he’ll have to take the title from her. Chelsea said she needs to prove she can keep the championship.
Tiffany Stratton walked in and said she wasn’t going to miss Chelsea’s title defense. She promised to make sure Lash Legend doesn’t get involved.
– We get a video about the victims of 9/11, narrated by Triple H.

Backstage – Cathy Kelley With Sami Zayn
Cathy Kelley asked Sami Zayn for his thoughts heading into the WWE Championship match. Sami said he knows what people are thinking, but this isn’t about him — it’s about justice. He said he wanted the match any way it came. He would’ve been fine if Kevin Owens won, but Owens didn’t want help. He would’ve been fine if Johnny Gargano won. But Sami said he’s realized it can’t be anyone else. For there to be justice, it has to be by his hand.
Sami said tonight, he takes back the WWE Championship.
Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae walked in and hugged him. Sami told Johnny tonight is the night — everything they talked about. Johnny told Sami that if Sami beats Punk, he’s next.

Trick Williams Promo / Lil Yachty Attacked
Trick Williams made his way to the ring and said he’s finally arrived. He told the Mexico City crowd they were chanting “Quiñones,” one of Mexico’s best players, and said he’s one of the best SmackDown has to offer. Trick talked about Sunday night, saying he took Baron Corbin’s head and bounced it up and down before kicking his ass all night long. He kicked a soccer ball into the crowd and said with Money in the Bank around the corner, he might have to change his name to Tricky Two Titles.
Trick introduced Lil Yachty — but Yachty didn’t come out. Trick did a full introduction again, still nothing.
Baron Corbin then dragged Yachty out from the back and disappeared behind the curtain. Corbin returned and cracked Trick with a kendo stick, leaving him laid out.

Finn Balor told Nick Aldis he’s next in line after tonight’s title match. Danhausen appeared when Nick mentioned Money in the Bank. Gunther then walked in, and Nick complained about being interrupted.
Gunther said Finn was trying to put himself in a place he doesn’t belong. He said Finn peaked ten years ago and should’ve hung up the boots — maybe someone needs to beat it into him.
