WWE SmackDown Halloween Special Highlights Sami Zayn's Title Retention and Finn Balor's Return

The Halloween edition of WWE SmackDown took place at the Charleston Coliseum in West Virginia, hosted by Danhausen. The event featured a unique theme that included a video intro inspired by Gothic Horror and German Expressionism.

Sami Zayn defended his WWE Undisputed World Championship against Trick Williams, who had previously defeated Zayn at WrestleMania. The match saw early interference, leading to a disqualification win for Trick, but General Manager Nic Aldis ordered the match to restart under no disqualification rules. Despite Trick's efforts, including using a foreign object, Zayn ultimately retained his title.

In other segments, Chelsea Green successfully defended her title against Nikki, while Cody Rhodes prepared for a Last Man Standing match against Randy Orton at Crown Jewel. The show concluded with Finn Balor's alter ego, 'The Demon', making a dramatic return, attacking Gunther and showcasing his signature move.
