  1. SmackDown card, Oct. 30 Fri, Oct 30, 7:30 PM EDT

SmackDown is the Friday hub. The blue art is two masked figures and blank plates. It is not a network logo and not a portrait of anyone on the card.

The live file is the October 30 card from the Charleston Coliseum. WWE’s event page gives the day, the 7:30 p.m. start, and the building, and it lists featured names that this site does not convert into matches. The bouts that are actually announced are sourced on that card: Sami Zayn against Trick Williams for the Undisputed WWE Championship, Chelsea Green against Nikki Bella, and Rey Fenix against Ricky Saints. Danhausen hosting, and a Gunther segment, are labeled as segments.

October 23 is the episode that made the Zayn match explicit. WWE’s results from Ontario say Williams had an Undisputed title match the next week on SmackDown, after a six-man tag. That is the bridge between a result the desk has not rewritten as a full recap and a card that is still in the future. A full Ontario recap is not on this hub yet because this drop did not include a sourced 800-word results file for that date. The sentence WWE printed is used where the Charleston card needs it. It is not stretched into a fake blow-by-blow.

Zayn’s week also includes Fresno and Crown Jewel. Those pages live on Raw and the PLE hub. Linking them here is the difference between a Friday listing and a trail. When Charleston airs, the card should become a results file or be joined by one. Until then the status on the card stays announced, including the matches that came from Fightful’s lineup rather than from a WWE results header.
