WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review 8.3.2025

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

LA Knight. Shinsuke Nakamura. Braun Strowman. Solo Sikoa and his family, . Drew Mcintyre, who decked Damien Priest, were all seen showing up to the arena. ( more on Priest later )

Randy Orton Segment.

I liked this. Randy Orton took his time with this promo, he basked in the fans admiration. He started off by welcoming us to Friday Night Smackdown, He he levelled his history with Kevin Owens, and made Kevin look like a jealous little boy, because every friendship he's ever had, has turned sour. He talks about John Cena, and goes through their history. He put over the severity of the career threatening injury, that kept him on the shelf for over 18 months. Randy spoke with fire and grace, and forshadowed what might becoming later down the line. Welcome back mr Viper.

Chelsea Green Segment.

Chelsea Green, wasn't in a good mood with Nick Aldis, he put Piper Niven in a Match against Tiffany Stratton, so little Tiffy got no repocussions for what happened last week. She would go on to beat Piper in an decent TV Match, and was then taken out by Charlotte Flair, who came out looking like she was about to go to C2C.

March Madness.

Nick Aldis did his best trig version of Steiner Math, and left me outright confused. So i'm not going to explain March Madness here. Pretty Deadly beat Los Gaza, and. The Motorcity Machine guns in a flat TV Match. And are now the No1 contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships.

Bianca Belair Segment.

This. Was. Excellent. I'm not going to go through everything here, because you need to see it for yourself. all of this was perfect. Enough said. What a well executed segment this was.

Lex Luger Is Going Into The WWE Hall Of Fame.

I love this. Lex Leger is going into the WWE Hall Of Fame. If you know Lex's story, his struggles and his triumphs, then it all makes sense. Sexy Lexy is going into the Hall Of Fame, you love to see it.

Braun Strowman vs Solo sikoa.

The Match was thrown out after Tama Tonga got involved, this led to Braun Strowman, and my man Jacob Fatu, to have an arena fight, that saw Jacob get chokeslammed through a table.

Chelsea Green vs Michin Street Fight. WWE Womens United States Championship.

I had fun watching this Match. From the weapon plunder. Michin snacking on Chelsea's fingers. B-Fab, having fun with a kendo stick, which led to Michin taking aim at Chelsea. Chelsea retained after Alba Fyre got involved.

Cody Rhodes Segment.

This. Was. Another Excellent Segment. Lies. Deceit, and. The Final Boss, and travis Scott was also their. He went through his history with John, asking the question why, because there's justification for what he did. He thanked the fans for choosing him, and told John if you want some, then come and get some.

Drew Mcintyre vs Jimmy Uso.

Drew Mcintyre, beat. Jimmy Uso, in a flat TV Match. Damien Priest, then put a beating on Drew in the aftermath.

LA Knight vs Shinsuke WWE United States Championship.

I didn't like this. The Match was boring, and in my opinion, it failed to get off the ground. Knight got the win, and is the new United States Championship.

Overview Of Friday Night Smackdown.

This weeks Friday Night Smackdown was a fun watch in my eyes, with excellent work on the mic and the in- ring work could be seen as decent. 

This weeks Friday Night Smackdown is a solid 7/10.
