WWE SmackDown comes to you live from the FedExForum in Memphis, TN. Tonight’s show will feature the fallout from the 2025 Royal Rumble. Fans can check out our review of the February 1 PLE here. That said, let’s get to our SmackDown preview for this.
Charlotte Flair to appear
Charlotte Flair earned herself a world title shot by winning the Women’s Royal Rumble Match. “The Queen” appeared on RAW to confront Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley. She then interrupted NXT Women’s Champion Giulia on Tuesday night. Now, Charlotte will come to WWE SmackDown, where she’s expected to confront WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton.
Jey Uso to appear on WWE SmackDown
Jey Uso shoved John Cena from the apron to the floor to win the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble Match. The Yeet Man got some words of encouragement from Cena after his big win, and he continues to ride a wave of momentum. Jey said on RAW he wanted to meet with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes before deciding on his WrestleMania 41 opponent.
But, will Cody Rhodes be on SmackDown tonight?
Cody Rhodes suffered “multiple injuries” during his ladder match against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble. “The American Nightmare” didn’t appear on RAW, but he is advertised for SmackDown on WWE’s website. Other superstars advertised for tonight include Nia Jax, LA Knight, Tiffany Stratton, and Bayley.
WrestleZone will have full coverage of WWE SmackDown as it airs on Friday.
