WWE SmackDown: WAW Clash Card
πŸ—“ WWE Β· July 17, 2026 Β· USA Network

SmackDown rolls into Albany tonight as the curtain-raiser for Saturday Night’s Main Event at Madison Square Garden, where CM Punk and Cody Rhodes will team up against GUNTHER and company. The blue brand is operating without Nick Aldisβ€”Raw GM Adam Pearce is calling the shotsβ€”and with the SummerSlam ticket sales disaster still hanging over WWE’s head, tonight feels like a holding pattern before the real action kicks off at MSG tomorrow night.

🎲 WAW Wildcard

Charlotte Flair could use tonight to escalate that CM Punk robe bit from the live events into something more substantial on broadcastβ€”a physical confrontation or the start of an actual program. Punk vs. Flair would be fresh and plays into her stated interest in new storyline directions.
