The WWE Universe was on the edge of their seats for this epic showdown! On November 7, 2025, at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC, WWE SmackDown Live delivered an action-packed night with a shocking twist.
A Bold Challenge: The show opened with a confident Cody Rhodes, fresh from his victory over Drew McIntyre. He boldly claimed that McIntyre was a self-destructive wrestler and challenged the audience to choose his next WWE Championship opponent. But here's where it gets interesting: Aleister Black and Zelina Vega stepped up, with Vega slapping Rhodes and declaring the start of his nightmare.
United States Championship Drama: In a backstage encounter, Tama Tonga confronted Ilja Dragunov, setting the stage for the championship match. Tommaso Ciampa, still bitter about being rejected last week, challenged Dragunov, but fate had other plans. Dragunov revealed he'd be facing Johnny Gargano, leading to an intense match. Gargano delivered a brutal kick to Dragunov's head and almost secured the win with a Poisonrana. However, Dragunov regained control, and with Candice LeRae's interference, he secured the victory with a Superplex and the H-Bomb.
Backstage Banter: Sami Zayn's request to be at ringside for Rey Fenix's match was denied by Nick Aldis due to medical reasons. Meanwhile, R-Truth inquired about the John Cena tournament tumbler, only to find out his name was already in the mix.
Women's Division Showdown: The new WWE Women's Champion, Jade Cargill, issued a bold statement, claiming dominance over Tiffany and the entire locker room. As Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss entered the ring, the tension rose. B-Fab and Michin confronted Chelsea Green, leading to a heated exchange and a match set for the following week against B-Fab.
