WWE Friday Night Smackdown Results (October 4, 2024)

Featured below are complete WWE Friday Night Smackdown results from Friday, October 4, 2024. The following report is from Rajah.com, our live coverage partner.

The Bloodline is shown arriving at the arena and we also see The Street Profits w/ B-Fab entering the area.

At ringside we are introduced to Hardy who welcomes back AJ Styles. Styles makes his way to the ring and gets on the mic. He says he's missed the WWE Universe so much and it's fitting that he's in Nashville tonight as this is where it all started for AJ Styles. He says he's made some mistakes and whatnot in his past but he's here to talk about tonight and to rebuild his legacy. He says there are a lot of guys who don't like him, but everyone needs to be reminded that this is the house that AJ Styles built. Carmelo Hayes' music hits and he comes and says he's here to welcome AJ back since no one else is doing it. He tells AJ he doesn't need to introduce himself to AJ because Styles knows who he is. He says he's a huge fan of Styles and that he loves old timers like Styles. Hayes says a guy like him deserves to be the US champion, a guy like him deserves - and Styles cuts him off to give him advice. He says Knight is the champ because he's relentless, Hayes interrupts him and says he doesn't need AJ's advice as he doesn't take advice from quitters. Styles asks why Hayes isn't the champ if he's THAT good. Hayes says if Styles was that phenomenal he would be the world champ. Styles proposes a match between himself and Hayes, Hayes replies with "Nah. I'm good" and starts leaving the ring when LA Knight's music hits and he stands by the entrance and addresses Hayes who is in the ring. Knight says it's fitting that Hayes is running from a fight. He says he and AJ have history and he's misled people by saying he's going to retire but he wants to address Hayes. He says there are two options... option 1: he can go to the ring and punch Hayes out a few times and then go have a good night, or option 2: he can take up Styles on his offer to fight him tonight and he will get Hayes a US title match. Knight calls out a referee and we go to commercial break.

Bayley says that Nia has had a dominant title run and she says she is one of the two people who can take this title off Nia and the second one is Tiffany Stratton because of her Money in the Bank briefcase. She tells Nia when Stratton is over being abused by Jax she will cash in her title. Stratton asks if Bayley is saying the only way she can beat is because she has the briefcase... and she doesn't need the briefcase to beat Nia Jax.
