WWE SmackDown features digital exclusives for several wrestlers

"

I’ve started checking in each week to see which wrestlers WWE relegates to its land of digital exclusives for Friday Night SmackDown, as I find it interesting to see who got put on the backburner for any given week. Some names are already starting to appear regularly. Sorry, Ricky! Anyway, here’s what we got this week: .@ShinsukeN and Kyoki make it clear that they are not done with WWE Tag Team Champions Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga after Haku helped The MFTs orchestrate a vicious attack on Bakusai last week.#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/T19eKkEDGl — WWE (@WWE) September 26, 2026 Bakusai are still eyes ahead on the tag team titles, and claim they’ll be ready for HAK (I love how Kyoki says Haku’s name here) next time. Speaking of Haku… .@mikethemiz teaches @KitWilson_PD not to let anyone stand in his way, except for Haku.#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/jhSgRXmguW — WWE (@WWE) September 26, 2026 The Miz was complaining to Kit Wilson about not even getting into a qualifying match for the Money in the Bank ladder match. Wilson countered with possibly getting a tag title match against the MFTs, and they agreed no one would stand in their way. Naturally, they turned around right into Haku, which led to Wilson reciting a haiku to an entirely unamused man who could kill him with his bare hands. This was tremendous. When @starkmanjones hears Rey Fenix and Fraxiom talking about him, he decides to stir up trouble between them and The War Raiders. #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/IYJDLaS75r — WWE (@WWE) September 26, 2026 Next, we got Ricky Saints making another digital exclusive appearance trying to get back at Fraxiom & Rey Fenix for talking trash about him behind his back by lying to The War Raiders about the trio popping off about Erik & Ivar dropping the AAA tag team titles. It almost costs him his head before Ivar realizes people do think they’re soft and need reminded of who they are. We’ll see where that goes. Last but not least: .@TatumPaxley has great news, but @MsCharlotteWWE, @Jade_Cargill, Michin and B-Fab don’t want to hear about it.#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/ZVLWnY53jX — WWE (@WWE) September 26, 2026 Charlotte Flair is kind of sad about not making the Money in the Bank ladder match but Tatum Paxley has her own qualifier and is excited about it. Flair is not, and the two are once again unable to get on the same page while Alexa Bliss tries playing peacemaker. Meanwhile, Jade Cargill, B-Fab, and Michin show up just to run their mouth, and maybe cast some doubt in Paxley’s head as to her friendship with Bliss & Flair.
