WWE has revealed the card for the March 13, 2026, episode of SmackDown, following Cody Rhodes' title win over Drew McIntyre last week. Highlights include the contract signing for the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Rhodes and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42, a non-title match pitting WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill against Michin, and a live appearance by musician Jelly Roll. The show airs from Phoenix, Arizona.
Building on the March 6 SmackDown where Cody Rhodes reclaimed the Undisputed WWE Championship and Randy Orton staked his claim as challenger after winning the Elimination Chamber, WWE announced the March 13 card. Reports from Pro Wrestling Dot Net and Fightful confirm the contract signing for Rhodes vs. Orton at WrestleMania 42.
Jade Cargill faces Michin in a non-title match, while Jelly Roll—who featured in a video package last week—appears live to see Orton and Rhodes.
The event takes place at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Arizona, airing live on USA Network at 7 p.m. CT/8 p.m. ET, with international streaming on Netflix.
This continues the road to WrestleMania 42 on April 18-19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. WWE adjusted the start time to 6 p.m. Eastern both nights under new broadcast deals: first hour on ESPN/ESPN2, then ESPN+ in the U.S. and Netflix worldwide, per Wrestling-World.com.
These segments heighten anticipation for WWE's flagship event.
