WWE SmackDown Results (2/13/26): Live Match Updates and Highlights

Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett are on commentary. WWE Superstars are shown arriving at the arena.

Tiffany Stratton heads to the ring. She says three months ago she lost the Women’s Title after what she calls a dream rookie year. Now, five women are walking into the Elimination Chamber hoping to earn a WrestleMania match. Tiffany says she’s not hoping — she’s expecting to win.

Nia Jax comes out with Lash Legend. Nia says she’d like to say it’s great to see Tiffany again, but she’s not a liar. Lash says they keep it real and claims Tiffany just got lucky last week.

Tiffany asks Nia why she’s so obsessed with her and says she even found herself a little replacement. Lash calls Tiffany a “bitter Betty” and warns her not to make her lash out. She says she’s the upgrade, and after they win the Tag Team Titles tonight, Nia will win her qualifying match next week. From there, she says Nia will enter the Elimination Chamber and pin Tiffany faster than she can say “It’s Tiffy Time.” The crowd chants “Tiffy Time!”

Nia says they should save Tiffany the embarrassment and handle it tonight. She reminds Tiffany what she’s capable of, and Tiffany fires back about Nia losing another title match.

Rhea Ripley’s music hits and she comes out with IYO SKY. Rhea tells them not to get ahead of themselves because neither Nia nor Lash is walking out of the Elimination Chamber with a WrestleMania opportunity. She says she’s in the match, and soon IYO will be too. Rhea says they’ll do what they do best — work together until they’re the last two standing. But first, she says, they’re going to beat the living crap out of Nia and Lash.

IYO then flies with a crossbody through the ropes, crashing through the table. Moments later, Rhea spears Lash through the poorly constructed ringside barrier to end the wild scene.

Cathy Kelley is backstage with Cody Rhodes and asks about his qualifying match tonight. Cody says he could stand there like he did last week — speak with conviction and anger. He says he could play the golden boy role that Nick Aldis wants from him and keep his emotions in check. But he admits there’s a lot of noise right now, with people talking about what’s happening and what’s being said. When that noise fills your ears and the pressure builds, he asks himself one question — where is he? He says he’s two matches away from the dream of main eventing WrestleMania. He’s down the road from Reunion Tower. Around the corner from the Cotton Bowl. He says he’s in Von Erich country.

Elsewhere backstage, Carmelo Hayes walks in and runs into Matt Cardona and Apollo Crews. Crews tells Hayes he loves the open challenge concept and says he’d love a shot. Cardona says he’d love to be champion too. Hayes tells them the Open Challenge exists — but it’s closed this week. The Miz steps in and questions Hayes about handing out title matches. Hayes fires back and says it’s open to everyone… except him. Miz calls himself the locker room leader, and Hayes says he hopes Miz leads better than he wrestles. Crews and Cardona chime in, joking about Miz’s “core values,” and Miz storms off frustrated.

Aleister Black says he’ll give credit where it’s due. He calls Cody one of the greats, then asks the question — what happens if Cody wins tonight? Zelina Vega sends a message to Giulia and Alexa Bliss. She says one of them is holding her title, and the other is holding onto a fragile friendship. She says she doesn’t know what will happen when those egos finally break. But tonight, she says she’s punching her ticket to the Elimination Chamber. Tonight, change is coming.

Carmelo Hayes makes his way to the ring. Hayes says for the last 48 days as champion, he has brought honor and prestige to the title, just like the greats before him. He says he meant everything he said. As United States Champion, they are on the Road to WrestleMania — and he’s already earned his shot.

He says he’s aiming for the main event, and next week he’ll be qualifying for the Elimination Chamber. But first, there’s business to handle tonight. He says he made a promise to one man — and Ilja Dragunov, you’re up now. Before the match can begin, Solo Sikoa walks out with his crew.

Solo says if they’re talking about a United States Title match, it doesn’t start with Ilja. He reminds Dragunov that he’s lost twice and tells him to get to the back of the line — because the line starts with him. Ilja asks Solo if he’s calling the shots for his family now, then takes a jab by reminding him his family left him last week. Solo fires back and says what happened to The Wyatts is going to happen to both of them. Ilja steps forward and says it sounds like someone’s looking for a fight — and they’re ready to give him one.

Hayes suggests they settle it with a tag team match. Solo mocks Hayes and tells him to shut up. He says it didn’t have to be like this. Then he snaps his fingers — and the attack begins. Mateo hits an Irish whip on Hayes as chaos breaks out. Matt Cardona and Apollo Crews run down to even the odds, and the fight spills everywhere. Shinsuke Nakamura’s music hits, adding even more to the chaos. Nakamura goes right after Loa, sending him into the crowd, and then tosses Talla over the top rope.

Nick Aldis walks out and says he loves the intensity. He announces they’ll take a rain check on the United States Title match — because now it’s going to be a ten-man tag team match.
