WWE SmackDown Results 4/10 - We Hear From Pat McAfee, Alexa Bliss Squares Off With Bayley & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE SmackDown" on April 10, 2026, coming to you live from the SAP Center in San Jose, California!

Pat McAfee left many in shock last week when he made his unexpected return to WWE to align himself with Randy Orton, attack Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes days before he defends his title against Orton at Night One of WWE WrestleMania 42, and express his desire to return to the days of big men in the Attitude Era. Tonight, he will potentially be providing some answers as he makes an appearance with something on his mind to share.

Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, and The Bella Twins will be challenging The Irresistible Forces' Nia Jax and Lash Legend for the Women's Tag Team Championship in a Fatal Four-Way Match at Night One of WrestleMania 42, Bliss will be going head-to-head with Bayley. Despite Bliss and Flair becoming involved in a match between Bayley and Legend on this past Monday's episode of "WWE Raw", Bayley took out Bliss and Flair before she managed to emerge victorious against Legend thanks to Valkyria holding Legend's foot for assistance.

Royce Keys (formerly Powerhouse Hobbs) will be making his televised "SmackDown" debut. On top of taking part in the 2026 Men's Royal Rumble, Keys has defeated the likes of The Motor City Machine Guns, Rey Fenix, Los Garza's Berto, Brutus Creed of American Made, Los Americanos' Rayo Americano, and Rey Fenix in a series of untelevised dark matches across "Raw" and "SmackDown" dating back to the February 13 episode of "SmackDown".

Before he defends his United States Championship against Trick Williams at Night Two of WrestleMania 42, Sami Zayn will be making an appearance on tonight's show. After Zayn retained his United States Championship against Carmelo Hayes in the main event of last Friday's show, Williams and his newfound ally Lil Yachty blindsided Zayn with an attack and left him laid out.

Rhea Ripley will be challenging Jade Cargill for her Women's Championship at Night Two of WrestleMania 42, reuniting with IYO SKY to score a win against Cargill's allies Michin and B-Fab this past Monday on "Raw". In the moments that followed Ripley and SKY's victory, Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab forced Ripley to watch as they attacked SKY and left her laid out. Following such, Ripley has something on her mind to share about the attack on tonight's show.

Additionally, Drew McIntyre will be making an appearance after vowing to expose his WrestleMania 42 opponent and archrival Jacob Fatu for who he really is.

We are live! Wade Barrett and Corey Graves greet audiences at home before throwing it to a video of what went down between Randy Orton, Pat McAfee, and Cody Rhodes.

She admits that she's angry as well and says she knows she'll defeat Cargill at WrestleMania 42, but says she wants to face Cargill in the ring. Ripley says she trusts SKY, but SKY isn't 100% and asks SKY if she can handle it. SKY assures Ripley that she can.

Pat McAfee then makes his way to the ring.

McAfee says the fans cheer for the spineless clones like CM Punk, then brings up Punk's promo from Monday's episode of "Raw". He calls Punk a fraud and says he's all talk and no action, then says Punk will roll over like the little b**** he is.

McAfee says he's a man of action and an agent of age, then says he's everything Punk says he is and says he decided to be the hero of the fans. He says while the fans may not deserve it, he still decided to help them out and called up RAM trucks to get them to foot 25% off the bill for anyone who buys a ticket between now and Monday's episode of "Raw".

McAfee says Orton will save the professional wrestling business, but Cody Rhodes' music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Rhodes says McAfee doesn't belong in WWE and says he knows he can't touch McAfee, then says McAfee can pick out any replica title he wants, do any Superstar's entrance, and go back to whoever sent him to tell them "Thank you Daddy". He says he didn't know what the term play wrestler meant until last Friday.

Rhodes says McAfee talked about making the professional wrestling business good again, then says everything McAfee has is because of customers. He says that the fans are family to him and not customers, then says while the fans can't generally agree on things in the professional wrestling business, they can agree that they want to see Randy Orton face him for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42.

Rhodes looks to leave, but McAfee stops him and says Rhodes was born into the professional wrestling business. He says he sees a fake person standing in front of him with a spray tan and dyed hair because he thinks it will make him look like Ric Flair. He says if Randy Orton doesn't dethrone Cody Rhodes as Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42, then he'll never appear in WWE again.

Rhodes says if McAfee wants to take a nap, GUNTHER can put him to sleep once and for all. He looks to leave the ring again, but McAfee eggs Rhodes on and says Rhodes has always been an Elite runaway artist. He asks Rhodes if he's going to politic with Triple H backstage, stopping Rhodes in his tracks.

Rhodes takes off his blazer and tie, but Orton appears on the Titan Tron standing over a laid out Jelly Roll. He drags Jelly Roll out to ringside, then attacks Rhodes from behind as Rhodes gets in McAfee's face.

Orton beats down Rhodes in the ring and holds him in place for McAfee to fire off strikes on him. Jelly Roll goes after McAfee, but Orton takes out Jelly Roll and hits Rhodes with the Undisputed WWE Championship belt. McAfee places the Undisputed WWE Championship on his shoulders.

Jacob Fatu then makes his way to the ring. Tama Tonga follows.

The bell rings and Fatu flies out of the ring to take down Tama on the outside. Tama wears down Fatu with a submission hold back in the ring before the two men exchange strikes and Fatu lands a running senton on Tama back from the break.

Fatu rains down headbutts on Tama in the corner, then connects with a Hip Attack on him and charges at him. Tama intercepts Fatu with a dropkick and follows it up with a twisting neckbreaker, then goes for a pin but Fatu kicks out. Tama then delivers a reverse twisting DDT to Fatu and pins him once again, but Fatu kicks out and Tama sets up for Cutthroat on him. Fatu avoids it and delivers a Samoan Drop to Tama, then follows it up with a moonsault on him for the win.

Winner: Jacob Fatu

After the match, Fatu looks to speak but Drew McIntyre blindsides him from behind. Fatu rocks McIntyre with a superkick, but McIntyre catches Fatu with a Claymore Kick and sends him crashing into the ring steps.

McIntyre places the handcuffs on Fatu's wrist and uses them to send Fatu crashing into the ring post face first. He sends Fatu crashing into the ring post spine first, then fires off right hands on Fatu using the handcuffs and uses them to tie up Fatu in the ring post. He sends Fatu crashing off the ring apron. Fatu rocks McIntyre with a headbutt and tries getting himself untangled, but McIntyre rains down more right hands on Fatu and gets him back in the ring. McIntyre runs over Fatu with a Claymore Kick as officials surround the ring and try to get McIntyre calmed down. McIntyre fights them off.

We then head backstage and see R-Truth teaching Danhausen about ESPN. Damian Priest interrupts the pair, but they hear a noise and find Rhea Ripley attacking B-Fab with a pipe. Ripley tells Priest that one is down and there's one to go. 

Back at ringside, Sami Zayn makes his way to the ring. 

Zayn says it's time for him and the fans to talk about the mixed reactions he's been receiving. He says everyone has been talking about change over the last few months and recalls conversations about change he's had with Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, then says it sounds like some of the fans want to see some change as well. He says he's walking into WrestleMania 42 as United States Champion and will talk out of it as well, but Trick Williams' music hits and he makes his way to the ring along with Lil Yachty.

Williams says people are tired of hearing Zayn talk, then says the truth is that Zayn hates him. He says that doesn't matter because he'll dethrone Zayn as United States Champion, but tells Williams to look him in his eyes and says at the end of the days, Williams is in the ring with a WrestleMania main eventer and says Williams is all talk. Yachty intervenes and says there will be a United States Champion at WrestleMania 42, but Matt Cardona's music hits and he makes his way out.

The bell rings during the commercial break and Williams runs over Cardona with a shoulder tackle as Zayn has taken a seat at the announce desk. Williams delivers a chop to Cardona in the corner back from the break, but Cardona sends Williams crashing out of the ring.

Back from the break, Zayn hops onto the apron and gets in Williams' face. Yachty pulls Zayn off the ring apron, but Zayn sends him crashing over the barricade with a Helluva Kick. Cardona tries to blindside Williams, but Williams runs over Cardona with the Trick Shot Knee for the win.

Winner: Trick Williams

Danhausen then makes his way to the ring. Kit Wilson and The Miz follow.  

The bell rings and Danhausen delivers a dropkick to Wilson. Wilson fires off right hands on Danhausen, but Danhausen poses with The Miz on the outside unbeknownst to the distracted Miz. This opens the door for Wilson to level Danhausen with a flying forearm and fire off uppercuts on him in the corner, then ascends to the top rope.

Danhausen curses Wilson, causing pyro to go off out of the ring post that trips Wilson. He follows it up with a boot to Wilson for the win.

Winner: Danhausen

After the match, The Miz looks to sneak up behind Danhausen. The lights go off, and when they come back on, Danhausen is on the entrance ramp.

We then head backstage, where Jade Cargill finds Michin attacked with a kendo stick. When Cargill asks Michin what happened, Michin confirms that Rhea Ripley attacked her.

Back at ringside, IYO SKY makes her way to the ring. Jade Cargill follows. 

The bell rings and Cargill sends SKY crashing into the ring apron with a Gorilla Press. She fires off stomps on SKY in the corner back inside during the commercial break, but SKY lands a missile dropkick on Cargill off the top rope and ascends to the top rope back from the break.

Cargill sets up for a Gorilla Press to SKY as she pulls SKY off the top rope, but SKY counters into a sleeper. SKY rolls up Cargill, but Cargill kicks out and SKY delivers a double stomp to her midsection.

SKY delivers a springboard moonsault to Cargill on the outside of the ring, but Cargill responds with Jaded on SKY for the win.
