The upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown is set to take place at Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy on Friday, March 21, 2025. Here’s a glimpse into WWE’s promotional plans for the episode:
During this week’s SmackDown, Paul Heyman delivered a short promo that recapped the events of Monday Night Raw. In his address, he announced that Roman Reigns would return to SmackDown the following week. The fans showed their disappointment on discovering that The Tribal Chief was not present at that moment. Heyman, playing the antagonist, sarcastically suggested that the crowd should take a “cheapo airlines” flight to Italy, joking that there were no impediments like Mussolini preventing them from entering the country.
Spain boo Italy.
Paul Heyman: “Hey, don’t boo, all you have to do is buy a plane ticket on cheapo airlines and fly over to Bologna, it’s not like Mussolini is at the border stopping you from getting in!”

Post a six-man tag team match that initiated the show, a triumphant trio of Braun Strowman, Jimmy Uso, and LA Knight celebrated their victory over Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga. Despite the defeat, Fatu managed to stun Strowman and in a later backstage segment, expressed his desire to compete against Strowman once more in the following week, promising another duel of the titans.

Zelina Vega has been outspoken in her ambition to seize Chelsea Green’s Women’s United States Championship title in recent weeks. While interrupting an interview, Piper Niven told Vega that she would have to face her before taking a shot at Green. As a result, a singles match between Zelina Vega and Piper Niven is now in the offing.

Lastly, Jade Cargill faced an interruption from Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez during her interview with Cathy Kelley. The duo expressed their annoyance over the criticism they’ve been receiving, related to Cargill’s attack, despite their innocence. They engaged in taunting Cargill instead of seeking any conciliatory dialogues, which led to Cargill seeking a match against Liv Morgan the following week.
