WWE SmackDown Results 9/11 - Four Championships Up For Grabs, Paige Faces Nikki Bella

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE SmackDown" on September 11, 2026, coming to you live from the Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico!

CM Punk will be putting the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line as he defends against Sami Zayn. Zayn caused an Undisputed WWE Championship Number One Contenders Match between Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, and GUNTHER to end in a no contest on the August 28 episode of "SmackDown" when he interfered and left the three men plus Punk laid out. Zayn then tried to help Johnny Gargano as Undisputed WWE Championship this past Friday on "SmackDown" by hitting Punk with the Undisputed WWE Championship belt in order for Gargano to kick out, but Punk kicked out before a brawl between Zayn, Balor, GUNTHER, and Owens broke out in the ringside area.

Nia Jax of The Irresistible Forces will be challenging Chelsea Green for her Interim Women's Championship. Jax and Legend confronted Green last Friday as Green and "SmackDown" General Manager talked to the doctor about whether or not Green had been medically cleared. The doctor confirmed that Green had been medically cleared as long as she wore a face mask to protect her previously broken orbital bone, but Jax stole Green's face mask from her moments after she defeated Tiffany Stratton later that same night.

Two AAA championships will be on the line tonight, as Rey Fenix defends his AAA Cruiserweight Championship against Ricky Saints in what will mark his first televised defense since he retained against "WWE NXT" star EK Prosper on the August 25 episode of the show. The War Raiders' Ivar and Erik will also be putting their AAA World Tag Team Championship on the line for the first time since retaining against Ray Americano and Bravo Americano of Los Americanos at AAA Ola De Calor on August 30 as they defend against Damian Priest and R-Truth. The War Raiders, Truth, and Priest previously met one another in the ring during a Triple Threat Match on the August 14 episode of "SmackDown", with Priest and Truth losing their then-WWE Tag Team Championship to current titleholders Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga of MFT.

After unsuccessfully challenging Jacy Jayne of Fatal Influence for the Women's United States Championship on August 28, Paige will be back in action as she takes on former friend turned bitter rival Nikki Bella. Nikki and her twin sister Brie Bella blindsided Paige with an attack after the trio had come up short to Fatal Influence at WWE SummerSlam Sunday on August 1. Nikki has since blamed Paige for Brie sustaining an injury at SummerSlam, and the two women have sent one another a handful of messages over the past several weeks.

Additionally, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes have both been advertised to make appearances on tonight's show.

We are live! Michael Cole and Wade Barrett greet audiences at home as Randy Orton makes his way to the ring and we head over to a video showcasing what went down between him and Cody Rhodes at WWE Sunday Night's Main Event this past Sunday.

Orton asks Mexico City what they want to talk about and says he wants to talk about Cody Rhodes. He says Rhodes showed the world who he was at Sunday Night's Main Event and that he isn't a killer, then calls Rhodes a good man. He says he doesn't care if people perceive him as a good person, then says anyone who comes between him and his 15th World Championship and puts whoever walks out of tonight as Undisputed WWE Champion on notice.

Ricky Saints then makes his way to the ring. Rey Fenix follows. 

The bell rings and Fenix delivers a hurricanrana to Saints. He follows it up with an armdrag off the top rope and a dropkick to Saints, then connects with a second hurricanrana on Saints, but Saints levels Fenix on the outside.

Saints dumps Fenix back inside the ring during the commercial break, then fires off mocking kicks on him in the corner of the ring and lands a double ax handle on him off the middle rope. Saints then drags Fenix up the ropes, but Fenix connects with a hurricanrana on Saints and flies off the top rope to take him down back from the break before he connects with a Muscle Buster on him for the win.

Winner (and still): Rey Fenix

After the match, Fenix extends his hand to Saints but Saints refuses to shake it and leaves the ring.

Nikki Bella then makes her way to the ring. Paige follows. 

Paige slides into the ring hot, and the bell sounds. Paige rains down right hands on Nikki and dumps her across the ring twice, then sends her crashing into one of the barricades spine first and jams her boot into Nikki's chest.

Paige tosses Nikki on the Spanish announce desk and delivers a kick to the side of her head, but Nikki rolls up Paige back inside the ring for the win.

Winner: Nikki Bella

Williams shouts out Mexican soccer player Julian Quinones, then says like Quinones kicks goals into the net on the soccer field, he took Baron Corbin's head and kicked his head in at WWE Sunday Night's Main Event. He says he might have to change his name from "Tricky Two Times" to "Tricky Two Titles" with WWE Money In The Bank right around the corner, then introduces Lil Yachty. Yachty appears, but Williams just assumes he wants a bigger introduction. He calls for the fans to give him a drumroll and gives him a grander introduction, but Yachty still doesn't appear. Corbin drags Yachty out to ringside and immediately runs to the back.

Williams and an official check on Yachty, but Corbin reemerges to crack a kendo stick across Williams' spine.

We then head over to Nick Aldis' office, where GUNTHER and Finn Balor get into a verbal confrontation as Danhausen lurks in the background. Balor clocks GUNTHER with a right hand. 

Back at ringside, The Irresistible Forces make their way out. Chelsea Green and Tiffany Stratton follow.
