Friday Night SmackDown October 24, 2025- WWE SmackDown Start Time, Where to Watch, Announced Match Cards, Prediction and Preview

Saturday Night Main Event is just more than a week away, and two big clashes have been announced for the PLE. Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre faced each other in a brutal match last week that ended in a DQ. The match ended, but the brawl didn’t. Both these superstars wanted a match against each other, and will face each other at SNME, and the WWE Undisputed Championship will be on the line.

After a chaotic Monday Night Raw this week, WWE will air Friday Night SmackDown. WWE SmackDown might feel the aftereffects of Raw on Netflix, where Jey Uso betrayed his brother to win the Battle Royal. He will now face CM Punk at SNME for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Announced Matches for WWE SmackDown

WWE has announced two matches for tonight. Tiffany Stratton will defend her WWE Women’s Championship, and we will see some tag team action from #DIY and Fraxiom. Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Tiffany Stratton, Solo Sikoa, Jade Cargill, and Drew McIntyre are listed as featured superstars

Tiffany Stratton(c) vs. Kiana James, WWE Women’s Championship Match

Cathy Kelley was interviewing Tiffany Stratton last week about the latter’s loss against Stephanie Vaquer at Crown Jewel. Kiana James thought it would be a good idea to interrupt the interview and mock Tiffany Stratton for losing at Crown Jewel. Tiffany Stratton straightaway asked her to face her inside the squared ring, and Kiana James accepted the challenge. They will face each other on SmackDown tonight.

Prediction: Tiffany Stratton is expected to defend her title, though there will be outside interruptions from Giulia.

Fraxiom vs. DIY

DIY pocked fun at Fraxiom and other tag teams. They claimed they were out of the spotlight for some time but things seemed to be unchanged on SmackDown. They mocked Fraxiom for thinking about the tag team championship.

Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa then tried to snatch the Axiom mask and claimed they needed it for Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae’s son, Quill, for Halloween. Axiom didn’t like it one bit and challenged them to a match.

Prediction: Fraxiom are speculated to win the match, but both teams would be taken out by Solo Sikoa’s MFT.
