WWE Stars To Settle Their Rivalry On SmackDown Next Week
WWE SmackDown has seen some long-term rivalries take place on the brand over the years, and it seems like one of those is about to come to an end next week, on the first SmackDown of 2026.
Ever since Aleister Black returned to WWE earlier this year, he has mostly been involved in a feud with former World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest, with their rivalry dating back to before SummerSlam 2025.
Priest seemed to move on from their feud last week, but he was attacked by Black twice on the episode. First, during the opening segment of the show, before unleashing an even more brutal attack backstage.

After taking Priest out from tonight’s episode, Black and his wife, Zelina Vega, appeared in a video package, where they stated that the things between the two wrestlers would end when Black says it ends.

After being at each other’s throats for several weeks now, a match between the two has been announced for next week’s episode as they look to settle their differences in the ring, probably for the last time.
