Pretty Deadly Wins Shot for WWE Tag Titles on Friday’s WWE SmackDown Show

Friday’s WWE SmackDown show at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania featured Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince & Kit Wilson) defeating Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) and Los Garzas (Angel & Berto) in a Triple Threat match to become the new number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

As a result of their victory, Pretty Deadly will be facing off against the winners of Street Profits vs. #DIY for the WWE Tag Team titles in a future match.

Naomi Admits to Being Jade Cargill’s Attacker on Friday’s WWE SmackDown Show

Friday’s WWE SmackDown show also featured Naomi admitting she was Jade Cargill’s mystery attacker.

During the show, a somber looking Bianca Belair came out to the ring and started to break down over what happened at Elimination Chamber 2025 between her best friends Naomi and Cargill. Belair then demanded for Naomi to come out because she wanted answers tonight.

This led to Naomi coming out wearing a neck brace and grabbed a microphone. Belair asked Naomi what is going on which led to Naomi responding back stating that this is not what it looks like and she needs her to understand what she is about to say. Naomi stated that she never said this before but the truth is that she feels Cargill has been piggy backing on Bianca the whole time and she has been forced to watch someone like Jade succeed off her excellence, experience, and hard work while she was left aside. After some more words, Naomi stated that she doesn’t give a dam about Jade because Jade didn’t give a dam about Bianca. This led to some back-and-forth banter over Bianca demanding a yes or no answer and Naomi trying to side track the issue until Naomi finally relented and admitted she was Cargill’s attacker.

This led to a crying Belair telling Naomi she can’t even look at her right now and they are done as friends. Belair then left the ring and made her way back as an angry Naomi yelled back stating that she should have pushed Jade harder and every time she starts to clock in and stand up for herself, everyone turns on her.

After some more heated words, the big screen showed a black SUV pulling up to the parking lot and Cargill coming out. Cargill made her way backstage and stopped next to Belair at the aisle-way before heading to the ring and engaged in a beatdown on Naomi.

Alba Fyre Makes Surprise Return on Friday’s SmackDown Show

Friday’s WWE SmackDown show also featured Alba Fyre making a surprise return to WWE’s SmackDown brand.

Near the end of the WWE Women’s United States Championship Street Fight match between Michin and Chelsea Green, Michin hit a senton to Green through a table. Michin then went for a near fall that was broken up by a mystery hooded person who grabbed Green and yanked her out of the ring. This mystery person then struck Michin with a leaping side kick and pulled down their hoodie revealing herself as Fyre. Fyre then got into the ring and laid out Michin with a Canadian Destroyer leading to Green pinning Michin to retain her title.

Following the match, Fyre saluted Green and revealed herself as the newest member of Green’s group.

This was Fyre’s first appearance since this past January in NXT and first appearance on the main roster since this past December.
