WWE Superstar Danhausen seizes control of the blue brand as he hosts a special “Very Nice, Very Evil” edition of SmackDown from the Charleston Coliseum in West Virginia. Airing Friday at 8 p.m. ET on USA Network, the Halloween-themed broadcast leverages Danhausen’s signature eccentricity to drive engagement. Although the former AEW star is not booked for a competitive match, his presence anchors the narrative, capping a week that included a dedicated Halloween special streamed on WWE’s YouTube channel.
WWE’s Halloween special features pivotal title bouts ahead of the November 7 main event.
The episode serves as a critical precursor to Crown Jewel on November 7, headlined by two decisive championship contests. In the men’s division, the winner of the upcoming match will secure a title shot against Roman Reigns for the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship. This high-stakes bout follows recent developments where competitors have aggressively lobbied for their spots, with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis officially sanctioning the proceedings to ensure the strongest contender advances to the Saudi Arabian event.
Simultaneously, the women’s division faces a pivotal moment as Rhea Ripley defends the WWE Women’s Championship against Roxanne Perez. Ripley’s recent retention on October 23 using the Un-Pretty-Her has solidified her dominance, yet the ongoing demands from WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella for a title shot continue to add narrative tension. With the Crown Jewel card approaching, these matches determine the final roster, ensuring that only the most deserving competitors challenge for gold in Riyadh.
