Get ready for the concluding episode of Friday Night SmackDown scheduled for April 18, 2025, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. As per the WrestleMania custom, the event will include the much-anticipated Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
While no contenders have been officially announced, a quick scan of the lineup reveals plenty of potential competitors. Names like Andrade, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karrion Kross, Ludwig Kaiser, The Miz, Carmelo Hayes, Braun Strowman, among others, may join the fray.
Moreover, wrestling icon John Cena will grace the event with a promo segment, building excitement for the Sunday night main event.
On the heels of Zelina Vega’s win over Chelsea Green—by countout, nonetheless (no pun intended), she will join forces with Katana Chance and Kayden Carter. The trio will challenge Women’s United States champion and her Secret Hervice group members, Alba Fyre and Piper Niven.
Unsurprisingly, The Motor City Machine Guns are slated for a face-off with The Street Profits in the pursuit for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
There’s more in store, but here’s the announced lineup for next week’s SmackDown episode:
- The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
- WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Contest between the current champions, The Street Profits, and challengers, The Motor City Machine Guns
- A special appearance by John Cena
- Women’s Triad Match: Zelina Vega, Katana Chance, and Kayden Carter vs. The Green Regime (Chelsea Green, Alba Fyre, and Piper Niven)
