WWE SmackDown Live Coverage 9/19 - Two Titles On The Line, Rhodes-McIntyre Contract Signing

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s coverage of "WWE SmackDown" on September 19, 2025, coming to you from the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio!

On the go home show before Wrestlepalooza, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will have a contract signing with Drew McIntyre. There will also be an exclusive interview with Brock Lesnar ahead of his match with John Cena tomorrow night.

Carmelo Hayes will answer Sami Zayn's open challenge for the Men's U.S. Championship after asking for the match last week. Miz wasn't too happy that Hayes got himself a title shot.

Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss successfully defended their tag titles against Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley at "NXT Homecoming". Tonight, they'll defend them against Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre. A few weeks ago, Green and her Secret Hervice attacked the champs, resulting in an injury to Flair. Bliss beat Green in their one-on-one match.

Michael Cole says Brock Lesnar wants to do the interview live and begins to head backstage when Lesnar's music hits and he meets Cole in the middle of the ramp. He lifted Cole over his shoulder and threw him into the ring. Corey Graves got into the ring to plead with Lesnar. He ate an F5.

Lesnar yelled into the camera, "John, I'm coming for you! It's D-Day tomorrow! I'm coming for blood!" He then tossed about the Prime cart and steel steps before hitting another F5 on Graves.

After the break, Graves was being attended to. Lesnar came face to face with a grinning Paul Heyman. He told Lesnat they should talk. Nick Aldis told Heyman he doesn't need any more problems tomorrow. Heyman wanted to see the Usos, but they're in Indianapolis.

Cole returns to the commentary table and is somber about Graves needing medical help for coming to his aid.

Flair comes to the ring and Bliss follows. Green and Fyre follow without Piper Niven.

Flair and Green start us off. Green ducks Flair and knocks Bliss off the apron. Bliss tags in and hits a senton on Green. They double team Fyre. Bliss forearms Green. Fyre pulled Bliss down and held her in place so that Green could dropkick her in the head. Fyre spins her around and slammed her face into the ringpost.

After the break, Miz joined commentary. Bliss rocks Green a few times with forearms. Flair tagged in, but she can't get in the ring. Green grabbed Bliss by the hair and slammed her in the corner and shoulder tackled her.

Flair tagged in and sent Fyre down with two clotheslines. She fired off chops on Fyre and Green. She did a cartwheel into a clothesline on Fyre before suplexing her. Flair sends Green off the apron and Fyre rolls her up. Flair goes up top, but Green knocks her down, allowing Fyre to kick her in the face. Fyre hit Flair with a kick to the face. Green knocked her down and Fyre connected with a senton. Bliss broke up the pin. Fyre and Green double team Bliss. Flair and Bliss hit stereo Natural Selections and Flair gets the win.

Winner: Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss

Fraxiom makes their way to the ring. Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker attack Fraxiom before Heyman comes to the ring. He compares Fraxiom to the Usos by calling them down and out and flat on their back. Heyman speaks Samoan and as he's about to translate, Fraxiom dive on Breakker and Reed. They wipe them out on the outside. Aldis comes out and makes the match official.

After the break, Breakker placed Axiom on the turnbuckle and put him on his shoulders, but Axiom briefly fought out before taking a backdrop. Breakker turned him inside out with a lariat. Reed tagged in and beat up Axiom before hitting a senton. He tagged Breakker in, who suplexed Axiom before knocking Frazer off the corner. Axiom hit Breakker with a dropkick. Reed and Frazer tagged in. Frazer hit him with a dropkick and a frog splash. Frazer went for a corkscrew moonsault, but Reed moved and hit the Jagged Edge. He went for a Tsunami, but Axiom stopped him. Breakker tossed him into a spear before landing the Tsunami on Frazer for the win.

Winner: The Vision

Heyman finishes what he was saying before Fraxiom interrupted him. The spoiler for Wrestlepalooza, "your winners!" while pointing to Reed and Breakker. A video of the Usos plays tells Reed and Breakker not to choke and welcomes them to the Uso Penitentiary.

Jax says she's sick of the women's division. She said it's embarrassing that they call themselves the alpha females when she is. She put Tiffany Stratton in a "Tiffy Timeout". If she could trade looks with anyone it would be Jade Cargill, but Jade would want to trade talent with her. Jax says she looks fantastic until she gets in the ring.

Stratton comes out and says everyone is sick of hearing Jax complain about her. She says both Jax and Cargill are committed to acting delusional. She marches to the ring, but is intercepted by security. Cargill takes two security guards before heading to the ring before being stopped. Aldis makes a match for a triple threat match for the title next week.
