WWE Smackdown results: US Champion Zelina Vega beats Alba Fyre as Chelsea Green's plan backfires
Earlier in the night, Chelsea Green met Nick Aldis in the hallway, wearing a rainbow face mask and holding a cardboard cutout of her own face. She claimed Vega had attacked her and demanded the title be taken away. Aldis made it clear that Vega would not be stripped and told Chelsea she would get a rematch once she's cleared to compete.
Not happy with that answer, Green took matters into her own hands and somehow booked Alba Fyre in a match against Vega. Aldis agreed to make it official.

Alba Fyre started off strong, using her power to knock Vega down early. But the champion bounced back with quick strikes and a hurricanrana that sent Fyre out of the ring. Chelsea Green distracted the referee while Piper Niven tripped up Vega. Fyre followed with a superkick and took control as the show went to break.
Back from commercial, Vega fought out of a chinlock and landed a big Meteora in the corner. She went for a suplex but changed her mind and hit a jawbreaker instead. Vega then missed a moonsault, and Fyre tried to take advantage with a Swanton Bomb, but Vega kicked out at two.
The match reached its wildest point when Vega stepped outside the ring. Chelsea Green tried to hit her with the facemask, but Vega ducked, and Green accidentally hit Piper Niven. Vega got back in the ring and nailed Fyre with a Code Red to score the win.

Farewell to Dan Tana: The man behind LA's legendary ‘Little Yellow House'
Image: Dan Tana, the unforgettable restaurateur behind the iconic West Hollywood spot Dan Tana's, has passed away at the age of 90, leaving behind a legacy as rich and comforting as his famous chicken parm, Variety reported. Born as Dobrivoje Tanasijević near Belgrade, Serbia, Dan Tana began his life journey as a professional soccer player, weaving in and out of Canada's leagues. Then he shifted gears, tried his hand at acting, and even appeared in The Enemy Below in 1957. Eventually, he found his calling, in hospitality, starting as a dishwasher at Villa Capri and later maître d' at La Scala. In 1964, Dan Tana took over a humble burger joint on Santa Monica Boulevard and transformed it into Dan Tana's, a cozy Italian-American gem serving hearty classics like chicken Parmesan. He envisioned it as a late-night hideaway, because back then, if you wanted decent pasta after midnight, your only option was a diner. Slowly but surely, it caught fire, especially after Richard Burton became a regular. Soon enough, stars like Johnny Carson, Elizabeth Taylor, John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, and the Rat Pack were all elbows-deep in fettuccine. The lore says Vega$ even named its main character, 'Dan Tanna,' after the man himself. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo What made Dan Tana's magic wasn't the fanciest menu, it was the vibe. Wooden booths, red-and-white-checkered tablecloths, and green neon glows, it felt like the L.A. you didn't know existed anymore. As some classics shut their doors in the city, Dan Tana's held on, staying just the same. Patrons could vanish for years and come back, and the same bartender would remember their favorite drink. On August 16, 2025, the restaurant posted a simple, heartfelt tribute: 'The great Dan Tana has passed on. We all know that he created a very magical place. Our beloved little yellow house will forever feel his presence. 'Dan started out working for La Scala and The Villa Capri in the 1950s. It was working for those classic eateries that encouraged him to open his own! And he did just that. He was always proud of where he came from and what he accomplished, a former soccer star from Yugoslavia." 'Dan had wonderful stories about Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, James Dean, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis. In fact Robert Urich's character was named after Dan Tana on the classic TV show, 'Vega$.' 'Today Dan Tana's is owned by his dear friend Sonja Perencevic who's kept it exactly the same since 1964. 'This man is a legend, and as you know a legend never dies.' Dan Tana's journey, soccer, acting, and then creating a home for stars, reads like a good screenplay. But the real screen magic happened in that dining room, where storytelling happened one table at a time.
