WWE SmackDown Review August 14, 2026 — tonight’s SmackDown delivered a wild opening with Chelsea Green and GUNTHER, plus major developments involving CM Punk, Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, and Cody Rhodes.

I’m breaking down everything from tonight’s WWE SmackDown, including the hilarious and chaotic opening segment with Chelsea Green and GUNTHER. I honestly thought Chelsea was about to lose her championship, but WWE completely fooled me — and then GUNTHER came out and made the entire situation even better. MORE GUNTHER AND CHELSEA, PLEASE!

We’re also talking about CM Punk and Kevin Owens, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, the major matches and championship developments, and everything else that happened on SmackDown tonight. Was this one of the better SmackDown episodes in recent memory? Let me know what you thought in the comments!
