WWE SmackDown Results: February 13, 2026 - Full Match Coverage & Highlights

WWE SmackDown delivered a packed card from the American Airlines centre in Dallas, Texas, featuring two title defenses, multiple qualifier matches for the upcoming Elimination Chamber, and a series of heated backstage confrontations.

Championship Action

Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky defended the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against Nia Jax and Lash Legend. The bout featured high‑flying moonsaults, power moves and a series of near‑falls before the referee called a no‑contest, leaving the titles still in Ripley and Sky’s possession.

Jade Cargill retained the WWE Women’s Championship by defeating Jordynne Grace. The match saw a blend of power slams, a Vader Bomb off the announce table and a decisive Jaded finishing move for the three‑count.

In the United States Championship scene, Carmelo Hayes and Ilja Dragunov’s singles contest erupted into a ten‑man tag match. Team Hayes (Hayes, Dragunov, Shinsuke Nakamura, Apollo Crews, Matt Cardona) faced Team Solo (Solo Sikoa, JC Mateo, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Talla Tonga). The Tonga‑led side secured the victory after a series of brutal strikes and a finishing cut‑off.

Did You Know? Tiffany Stratton, who lost her title three months earlier, explicitly stated that the Elimination Chamber is the event she “wants” to win, underscoring her determination to re‑enter the title picture.

Elimination Chamber Qualifiers

The men’s Triple Threat qualifier saw Cody Rhodes, Jacob Fatu and Sami Zayn battle for a coveted spot in the 2026 Men’s Elimination Chamber. After a chaotic sequence of super kicks, moonsaults and a double superplex, Cody Rhodes emerged victorious, earning the right to join Randy Orton and LA Knight in the Chamber.

The women’s Triple Threat qualifier featured Alexa Bliss, Giulia and Zelina Vega. The three‑way elimination match included multiple high‑impact moves such as a Sister Abigail, a Northern Lights Bomb and a DDT. Alexa Bliss secured the win, positioning herself for a future Chamber opportunity.

In a separate singles showdown, Trick Williams defeated Rey Fenix after a hard‑fought contest that included a jumping knee for the three‑count, further boosting Williams’ momentum heading toward WrestleMania.

Expert Insight: The no‑contest in the Women’s Tag Team bout leaves the division without a clear challenger, likely prompting another high‑stakes encounter soon. Cody Rhodes’ win not only adds a seasoned veteran to the Chamber field but also signals a potential showdown with Jacob Fatu, who has repeatedly expressed his desire to break into the Elimination Chamber despite never having competed there before. Alexa Bliss’ qualification strengthens the women’s Chamber narrative, setting up a possible clash with Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton, who already secured their spots.

Backstage Highlights

Tiffany Stratton opened the show with a promo questioning why Nia Jax and Lash Legend are “obsessed” with her, asserting that the title “misses her.” Nia and Lash responded with threats of a qualifying win next week.

Cody Rhodes, interviewed backstage with Cathy, emphasized his focus on controlling his emotions and his proximity to a WrestleMania main‑event, noting the geographic markers of Dallas (“Von Erich Country”).

Other backstage moments included Carmelo Hayes addressing his United States Championship reign, Jacob Fatu speaking about being written off yet confident about his Elimination Chamber prospects, and a tense exchange between Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn about future matchups.

Looking Ahead

With the qualifiers set, the upcoming Elimination Chamber will likely feature Cody Rhodes, Jacob Fatu, Sami Zayn, Randy Orton and LA Knight on the men’s side, while the women’s side may see Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton and a yet‑to‑be‑determined fourth entrant. The outcomes of these matches could shape the championship landscape heading into WrestleMania 42.
