WWE SmackDown in Perth - Next Week: Tag Titles, Last Man Standing, and Championship Turmoil Await
The blue brand is heading overseas, and next week’s Friday Night SmackDown (October 10, 2025) in Perth, Australia is shaping up to be one of the most loaded international broadcasts of the year. After an explosive episode this week in Cincinnati, the rivalries are hotter than ever and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Match Card (So Far)
- WWE Tag Team Championship Match: The Wyatt Sicks (c) vs. The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford)
- Last Man Standing Match: Aleister Black vs. Damian Priest
- Women's Tag Match: Tiffany Stratton and Stephanie Vaquer vs. Giulia and Kiana James
- United States Championship Open Challenge Match: Sami Zayn (c) vs. ???
WWE Tag Team Championship: Wyatt Sicks (c) vs. Street Profits
The eerie aura of the Wyatt Sicks has been looming large over the SmackDown tag division, with Dexter Lumis holding the gold alongside his twisted family. But in Perth, they’ll be tested against a reinvigorated Street Profits.
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins have been trying to prove they’re still on the same page, but the Wyatts thrive on exploiting cracks in teams. Can the Profits overcome the mind games, or will the Sicks continue their reign of terror?
Last Man Standing: Aleister Black vs. Damian Priest
This one feels inevitable. After weeks of Black laying out Priest with the Black Mass, things boiled over when Priest returned the favor, putting Black through the announce desk with a Razor’s Edge. The only way to settle it? A Last Man Standing match in Perth.
This is set to be a violent, career-shortening encounter. Black’s precision striking against Priest’s sheer power makes this a battle of wills—and only one man will be left standing when the referee’s count reaches ten.
Women’s Super Match: Stratton & Vaquer vs. Giulia & Kiana James
After this week’s contract signing between WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton and Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer erupted into chaos thanks to Giulia and Kiana James, the fallout lands in Perth.
The bout is a rare crossover clash of champions—Stratton and Vaquer on the same side, forced to coexist, against a dangerous pairing in Giulia and James. With Crown Jewel looming, alliances will be tested, and betrayals may be brewing.
U.S. Title Open Challenge: Sami Zayn (c) vs. ???
Week after week, Sami Zayn has defended the United States Championship against surprise challengers, producing some of the most exciting matches on SmackDown. Last week’s war with Aleister Black proved Sami’s grit, but also painted a target on his back.
With Damian Priest lurking, Miz stirring up chaos, and NXT’s young guns eager to break through, literally anyone could walk through the curtain in Perth. Sami may still be champion, but how long can he survive as the fighting champ?
🗣️ Wrestling.news | Backstage Take
SmackDown in Perth has all the ingredients to be more than just a stop on the road to Crown Jewel—it feels like a potential turning point. The Wyatt Sicks vs. Street Profits is a culture clash of chaos vs. charisma. Black vs. Priest in Last Man Standing has “show stealer” written all over it, but also real risk for both men. Meanwhile, the women’s tag showcase could foreshadow betrayal in the Crown Jewel title fight, especially with Giulia and Kiana James lurking. And Sami Zayn? He’s quietly delivering some of the best TV matches in WWE week after week, but the open challenge format might eventually catch up to him. Perth is going to be loud, unpredictable, and possibly game-changing for SmackDown.
