On December 19th 2025, WWE taped matches for the December 26th edition of SmackDown due to the Christmas holiday season. Here are the spoilers courtesy of @LvlUpReports…

* The December 26th episode of SmackDown opened with a Joe Hendry concert, where Hendry sang a parody lyric to “Jingle Bells,” jokingly mocking The Miz with the line: “Jingle bells, jingle bells, Miz has tiny balls.”

* Hendry then faced Miz in a Miracle on 34th Street Fight. Alpha Academy was shown ringside for the match, with Otis dressed as Santa Claus and Akira Tozawa dressed as an elf. A mystery rabbit-costumed character was also present and was later revealed to be R-Truth. Hendry defeated Miz via pinfall.

* A backstage promo with Jade Cargill aired alongside Byron Saxton, with Jade calling out Michin and projecting a tough, no-nonsense tone. Immediately afterward, Michin delivered a response promo with B-Fab, though it took place in a separate backstage area, not face-to-face with Jade.

* Charlotte Flair defeated Lash Legend via pinfall. It was noted by @LvlUpReports that Lash looked “very stiff in the ring.”

* During an earlier backstage segment, Ilja Dragunov announced that he was closing the U.S. Title open challenge but agreed to face Carmelo Hayes in a rematch. Carmelo ended up defeating Dragunov by pinfall to win the title. Dragunov put the title around Carmelo’s waist afterwards. Match was described as “SummerSlam level” quality.

* Guilia and Kiana James defeated Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre when Guilia pinned Chelsea.

* A backstage segment with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss quickly escalated into an all-out women’s tag team shouting match, with multiple women getting involved as tensions boiled over. As a result of the chaos, WWE announced a multi-way tag team match for the first SmackDown in January, with the #1 contendership on the line.

* An Oba Femi video package was shown.

* Damian Priest vs. Aleister Black and Jade Cargill vs. Michin for the women’s title were also confirmed for the January 2nd SmackDown.

* Kit Wilson and Nick Aldis were in a segment that led to Cody Rhodes confronting Drew McIntyre and demanding an apology. Drew headed to the ring. Drew tore into the referee on the microphone, escalating the situation further. It was then officially announced that McIntyre vs. Cody will take place in a Three Stages of Hell match in Berlin on the January 9th episode of SmackDown. Drew told Cody, “When I bury you deep in hell, say hi to your dad for me.” Drew then laid out Cody.
