6 Things WWE subtly advised us on SmackDown (March 13, 2026)

WWE SmackDown this week was a great show ahead of WrestleMania 42. A massive incident happened in the Undisputed Championship feud as Randy Orton turned heel and destroyed Cody Rhodes.

Fans are loving this vicious version of the Apex Predator. In this article, we will look at six things WWE subtly told us in the recent edition of the blue brand.

#6. B-Fab turning heel

B-Fab is working as part of the SmackDown brand. Her recent matches were mainly against the heel stars, which eventually put her in the position of the babyface star.

Meanwhile, during SmackDown, fans noticed that B-Fab was entangled in a backstage secret conversation with Women’s Champion Jade Cargill. Additionally, both stars left the area together, which hints at an alliance.

Cargill is a heel star and engaged in a feud with Rhea Ripley. So this development subtly teases that Fab could be turning heel soon and may help Jade on the road to WrestleMania 41.

#5. Cody Rhodes likely to lose his Undisputed WWE Title at WrestleMania

Cody Rhodes recently won the Undisputed title from Drew McIntyre. As a result, he will face Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42. In an unexpected twist, Orton turned heel on his real-life friend and unleashed his villainous side.

Considering the impactful character switch of the Apex Predator, the American Nightmare could drop his title at ‘Mania 42. This heel turn may allow Randy to finally become the world champion again.

#4. Jelly Roll vs. The Miz teased for WrestleMania

Jelly Roll made his presence on the blue brand and was seen twice on television. Firstly, he was part of the Miz TV, where he punched the A-Lister and took him out.

Later in the main event, Roll tried to stop Randy Orton from attacking Rhodes. WWE only involved Jelly in the main event segment to add more fuel to Orton’s heel turn.

Meanwhile, Roll’s segment with The Miz might have subtly teased a major WrestleMania 42 match. Here, the celebrity star can go against The Miz in a singles bout, attracting mainstream attention at The Showcase of the Immortals.

#3. Drew McIntyre vs. Jacob Fatu could still happen at WrestleMania

It’s official that Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu will lock horns in a match next week on SmackDown. Nick Aldis made this announcement moments before the contract signing segment.

Despite this, McIntyre vs Fatu could happen at WrestleMania 42, maybe with a stipulation. Next week, WWE might end the match with a no-clean winner, setting the stage for a rematch. However, this time, a stipulation could be added to the bout.

#2. Triple Threat Match for WWE Women’s Tag Team Title at WrestleMania

The Women’s Tag Team Title feud seems to be shaping up for WrestleMania 42. The current Champions, Nia Jax and Lash Legend, locked horns earlier with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.

However, the match was disrupted by the Bella Twins, subtly hinting at a triple threat match at The Show of Shows. Here, Jax and Legend might put the title on the line against Bliss & Flair and Nikki & Brie Bella at Mania.

#1. Tiffany Stratton vs. Giulia vs. Chelsea Green at WrestleMania

Tiffany Stratton scored a big victory over Kiana James on WWE SmackDown. This match also featured Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre, who were taken down by Giulia after James accidentally kicked her. The Buff Barbie is already eyeing a Women’s US Title match.

This progress subtly suggests that Stratton, Giulia, and Green could be engaged in a triple-threat bout at WrestleMania 42. Chelsea is the former mid-card Women’s Champion. A triple threat feud between them seems a great scenario for The Grandest Stage of Them All.
