The November 13 episode of Friday Night SmackDown will feature the fallout from the WWE Crown Jewel 2026 premium live event.
Coming off the heels of the latest major show, there could be some surprises in store for the fans in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
From the latest John Cena Classic invitee to major changes in characters, this episode should signal a shift in the blue brand going forward.
Here are four potential surprises for the November 13 WWE SmackDown.
John Cena chooses Trick Williams as latest invitee into the John Cena Classic
John Cena is set to appear on the November 13 WWE SmackDown for the latest development in the John Cena Classic.
After announcing the December 14 show, Cena has been busy helping this special night take shape.
Looking at the SmackDown roster, Cena should see someone like Trick Williams as an individual worthy of being part of the first annual Cena Classic.
As the United States Champion, Trick feels deserving of this honor and should lead to a touching moment where Cena acknowledges everything he has accomplished so far in his career.
Randy Orton babyface turn
At WWE Crown Jewel 2026, Cody Rhodes defeated Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing Match.
This may have put a bow on their longstanding rivalry that dates back to this past March.
With recent reports indicating “The Legend Killer” is set to take some time off, fans may see Orton’s final appearance on SmackDown for a while on the November 13 edition.
Orton coming out to turn babyface and admit his wrongdoings on his former friend Cody Rhodes would be a nice way to close the book on their feud and create a brand new direction for “The Viper” to return to down the road.
Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Tatum Paxley and Bayley find some backup against The Baddies & Fatal Influence
In recent weeks, The Baddies and Fatal influence have created an alliance in WWE.
Finding mutual enemies, these two factions have drawn the ire of Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Tatum Paxley and Bayley recently.
With a declaration of war, Charlotte could lead a team against The Baddies and Fatal Influence at the upcoming WWE Survivor Series WarGames 2026 premium live event.
Whether it be Giulia or Paige, Flair could find some backup for the Women’s WarGames on the November 13 WWE SmackDown.
CM Punk shows respect to Kevin Owens following No Holds Barred Match
On the November 6 WWE SmackDown, Kevin Owens defeated CM Punk in a No Holds Barred Match.
While they have plenty of history and animosity, Punk may have to admit KO got the better of him.
After everything they been through, a handshake from Punk to Owens may signal the end of this feud.
The November 13 SmackDown could see Punk showing respect to Owens for beating him fair and square.
