WWE is scheduled to hold Friday’s episode of SmackDown, which will serve as the post-SummerSlam show, at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

According to WrestleTix (as reported by the Wrestling Observer), a total of 8,299 tickets have been sold for the show so far. Notably, 1,050 tickets were sold in the past 24 hours. The report also states that the cheapest ticket is priced at $49.35 and that 927 tickets are currently available on the resale market. Additionally, Xfinity is offering a special 2-for-1 ticket sale for the upcoming episode.

The last WWE event held at this arena was the February 2nd episode of Monday Night RAW, which attracted 13,726 fans. The year-to-date average attendance for WWE shows, including premium live events, for 2026 is 9,206 tickets.

Although WWE has not yet advertised any specific matches or segments for this Friday’s SmackDown, anticipation is high following the blockbuster returns of Randy Orton and Kevin Owens at SummerSlam. Owens returned as the fourth participant in the Undisputed WWE Championship #1 Contender’s Fatal 4-Way Match during Night Two, ultimately pinning Sami Zayn to earn a title shot against CM Punk. It is likely that Owens and Punk will confront each other this Friday, potentially igniting a major feud.

Meanwhile, Orton attacked Cody Rhodes during his match with Punk this past Saturday, costing Rhodes the Undisputed WWE Championship. A confrontation between the former friends is expected this Friday.
