New record set on WWE SmackDown!

WWE has been in the industry for decades, and the promotion has lately created a unique record following the latest edition of Friday Night SmackDown.

In the latest edition of WWE SmackDown, the management booked four Fatal-4-Way matches to determine participants for the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments. The finals will take place in Saudi Arabia at Night of Champions 2025, but the company inadvertently set a unique new record.

Over a decade ago, the company hosted an event called Fatal-4-Way, which had three Fatal-4-Way matches on the card in 2010. After fifteen years, the record has been broken, as SmackDown hosted four gimmick matches on the card.

"Never before have there been FOUR Fatal 4-Way matches at a single @WWE event. The record is/was 3 - held by the PPV named, well... #Fatal4Way, in 2010.
