WWE SmackDown Start Time Tonight – Friday Night SmackDown May 23, 2025 Match Card, Where to Watch and More

Get to know all about WWE SmackDown tonight.

WWE is just one day away from its second PPV of the month, Saturday Night’s Main Event. WWE has announced four matches so far, two of which are title matches, and the other two would resolve the ages-long rivalry between Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre and CM Punk and Seth Rollins. Damian Priest will face Drew McIntyre inside a Steel Cage, but will that be enough to resolve a year-long dispute between them?

Friday Night SmackDown started the Money in the Bank qualification matches last week, where Alexa Bliss became the first woman to qualify. Solo Sikoa also qualified for the MITB. WWE SmackDown will feature such matches, and with Giulia now a part of SmackDown, she might also feature in such matches. Let’s find out all about when WWE SmackDown will air and where to watch it.
