The upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown is all set to take place at the Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy on Friday, March 21, 2025. The WWE has released some of the highlights that viewers can expect.
During the most recent SmackDown session, Paul Heyman delivered a fast-paced promo wherein he recapped the events of Monday Night RAW and revealed that Roman Reigns would appear on next week’s SmackDown. The response from the crowd suggested their disappointment that Reigns wasn’t present that day. Paul Heyman, in his heel mode, retorted by suggesting that they could just buy a ticket on a low-cost airline and fly to Italy.
In an initial six-man tag team competition, Braun Strowman, Jimmy Uso, and LA Knight emerged victorious over Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga, with Strowman pinning Tonga. Later, in a backstage section, Fatu expressed his desire to take on Strowman again the following week, promising another clash between these two powerhouses.
Zelina Vega, who has been openly targeting Chelsea Green’s Women’s United States Championship title in recent weeks, was told by Piper Niven that she would have to face her first before getting a shot at Green. This sets the stage for a single match between Zelina Vega and Piper Niven.
Additionally, an interview featuring Jade Cargill was cut short by Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. They were unhappy at being wrongly blamed for Cargill’s assault. However, instead of seeking an apology, they chose to ridicule Cargill, which led her to challenge Liv Morgan to a match in the upcoming week.
