New Segment Revealed for April 10 WWE SmackDown

WWE has added another major segment to tonight’s SmackDown, and this one could have huge WrestleMania 42 fallout written all over it.

The new focus heading into the April 10 episode centers on Rhea Ripley, who is set to address Jade Cargill after the WWE Women’s Champion left IYO SKY laid out during Monday Night Raw. The attack didn’t just shock fans — it also put Ripley right in the middle of the chaos as tensions continue to rise heading into WrestleMania.

During Raw, Jade Cargill unleashed a brutal assault on IYO SKY, forcing Michin and B-Fab to step in and physically restrain Ripley from getting involved. That moment set the stage for what could be an explosive response tonight.

WWE confirmed the segment in an official statement, making it clear that Ripley is ready to speak out after watching the situation unfold firsthand.

“On Monday Night Raw, Jade Cargill viciously attacked IYO SKY, as Michin and B-Fab held back her close friend Rhea Ripley.”

The fallout from that attack isn’t expected to stop there. WWE also confirmed that Ripley plans to directly address the situation as she prepares for a massive showdown at WrestleMania.

“Following this brutal assault, The Eradicator will address the WWE Women’s Champion as she readies herself to challenge The Storm at WrestleMania, tonight on SmackDown at 8 ET/7 CT on USA.”

This new segment adds even more fuel to an already loaded SmackDown card as WrestleMania 42 draws closer. With emotions already running high and alliances being tested, Ripley’s response could shape what happens next in the women’s title picture.

WWE SmackDown airs tonight from the SAP Center in San Jose, California, starting at 8 PM ET on USA Network. International viewers can also watch the show on Netflix, and Ringside News will have full coverage throughout the night.
