The October 30 episode of WWE SmackDown just got a whole lot bigger. Two championship matches have been officially added to the Halloween-week show: Sami Zayn defends the Undisputed WWE Championship against Trick Williams, and Chelsea Green defends the WWE Women’s Championship against Nikki Bella.

The WWE Championship showdown came together in dramatic fashion on the October 23 SmackDown. Trick Williams interrupted Zayn during his segment with Rey Fenix, which escalated into a tag team match pitting Williams and Fenix against Zayn and Johnny Gargano. Before that match even started, Williams stopped for a backstage interview with Cathy Kelley — and dropped the bombshell himself, announcing he would be challenging Zayn for the title next week.
That is how you make a statement. Rather than waiting for management to hand him an opportunity, Williams grabbed the microphone and created his own title shot on the spot.
Sami Zayn vs Trick Williams: WWE Championship on October 30 SmackDown
Zayn vs. Williams is a fascinating clash of styles and stories. Zayn has been one of WWE’s most beloved champions, carrying the Undisputed WWE Championship with the kind of heart-on-sleeve performances that made him a fan favorite in the first place. Williams, meanwhile, is pure charisma and confidence — the self-proclaimed main-event player who believes every big moment belongs to him.
Their tag team collision on October 23 gave fans a preview of the chemistry, and if that match was any indication, the championship encounter on the 30th could steal the entire show.
Chelsea Green vs Nikki Bella for the WWE Women’s Championship
The second title match adds even more star power to the card. Chelsea Green puts her WWE Women’s Championship on the line against Nikki Bella, a matchup that blends Green’s cunning champion persona with Bella’s Hall of Fame pedigree and big-match experience.
Bella challenging for gold always moves the needle, and Green has made a habit of finding ways to survive against the odds. Whether she can outlast a veteran like Bella on a stage this big is one of the most intriguing questions of the night.
With Danhausen hosting the Halloween-themed episode in Charleston, West Virginia, plus two title matches now on the marquee, the October 30 SmackDown is shaping up to be appointment television.
