WWE SmackDown Preview (2/13/26): Start Time, Match Card

Men's and Women's Elimination Chamber Qualifying Matches are set to continue in Big D. Cody Rhodes, Jacob Fatu and Sami Zayn are all aiming to punch their ticket to Chicago later this month, where they'll have the opportunity to earn another shot at WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42.

Women's United States Champion Giulia, Alexa Bliss and Zelina Vega will have the chance to join Tiffany Stratton and Rhea Ripley inside the Women's Elimination Chamber Match, and finally, Rey Fenix will go one-on-one with the cocky and confident Trick Williams.

Here's everything we currently known about tonight's episode of Friday Night SmackDown. Check back for updates as more matches and segments may get announced before the show goes live on the USA Network.

WWE Women's Championship Match

Jade Cargill has been begging for some real competition ever since she won the WWE Women's Championship back in November. Well, Jordynne Grace has just entered the conversation. They don't call the former TNA Knockouts Champion 'The Juggernaut' for no reason, and she'll have the opportunity to out-muscle 'The Storm' tonight on SmackDown and claim her first championship in WWE.

WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Match

Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY have been fighting champions ever since they won the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles off The Kabuki Warriors. Rhiyo has already racked up wins over The Judgment Day, and Giulia & Kiana James. Tonight, they face a daunting challenge from Nia Jax and Lash Legend. The Boujee Bullyhas been on a hot streak as of late, and that momentum could carry her to championship gold tonight in Dallas. 

Men's Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match

There's a great deal of unfinished business between Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu, but they'll have to put their personal issues with one another aside tonight if they want to keep their hopes alive of facing Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42 . If neither man is able to focus on the task at hand, that could open the door for Sami Zayn to punch his ticket to Chicago for Elimination Chamber.

Women's Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match

The WrestleMania 42 dreams for two of these ladies may come to an end tonight. The last opportunity to earn a world title match at this year's 'Showcase of the Immortals' takes place at Elimination Chamber later this month, but only one woman will qualify tonight. Will it be Women's United States Champion Giulia, Alexa Bliss or Zelina Vega who will join Tiffany Stratton and Rhea Ripley in Chicago?

Rey Fenix vs. Trick Williams

It's been non-stop trash talk from former NXT and TNA World Heavyweight Champion Trick Williams ever since he arrived on Friday Night SmackDown, and Rey Fenix has grown tired of hearing what he has to say. Fenix is looking to put a different spin on "Whoop That Trick" tonight in Dallas, while Tricky Two-Time aims to take another step toward earning a shot at the WWE Championship.
