Solomonster reviews the first WWE Smackdown of 2026 with a return to THREE hours, as well as the return of Randy Orton and arrival of new faces like Matt Cardona, Trick Williams and Jordynne Grace. Drew McIntyre also names his stipulations for Three Stages of Hell with Cody Rhodes next week in Berlin, Giulia regains the Women's US title and Damian Priest ends his rivalry with Aleister Black in an Amublance Match.  Certainly a newsworthy show, but was it a good one?
