WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review 19.7.2025.

Intro.

This one of my favourite times of year to be a WWE fan, there's just something special about WWE in the summertime, and I can't quite put my finger on why. I know that this is just my opinion,  but I do love the build to Summerslam, as it's one of my favourite events on the  Pro wrestling calender.

Who Dunnit.

This was a case of WWE does Diagnosis murder, because we opened up on a who dunnit, who tried to kill Solo Sikoa's crew. Adam Pearce, who was stepping in for Nick Aldis, was then taken away by Cody Rhodes. This would be a running theme through out the show.

Charlotte Flair vs Raquel Rodriguez.

This was an entertaining fun Match. I enjoyed this. From the promise of Perez vs Bliss, to Charlotte and Raquel having good chemistry. This was a solid run through, that worked to continue Flair, and. bliss's can they coexist dynamic. Flair got the win, thanks to her mate Alexa.

 Damien Priest vs Carmelo Hayes.

Am I the only person who thinks that Damien Priest, and. Alestair Black, sholud be a tag team? oh just me then, oh well. He decked both Priest, and Hayes, and got their Match thrown out. The Match however had some fantastic moments of great back and fourth action.

The Wyatts Sic.

The Wyatt Sic, delivered a cryptic message to The Street Profits, which they answered back later on.

Solo Sikoa Crew.

I liked this. As the chants of WHAT, and. OTC echoed throughout the arena. Solo proceeded to throw Jacob under the storyline bus, he called him selfish, whilst bringing up his real life term in prison. This was when the Feds showed, after having released Jacob, this meant that he was now on a warpath, and oh my did he want revenge.  With the help of Big Jim Uso, they took out Solo's faction. I loved it when Tala Loa no sold getting slammed over the announcers table. Big jim helped Jacob batter JC, and Tonga, and this when Adam Pearce then came out, and said that at Summerslam Solo Sikoa will defend his United States Championship in a Steel Cage Match. This was excellent, it managed to pull the gravitas of the story, and make it feel real.

JellyRoll Is The Man.

I don't know if anyone here in the UK has seen this, but WWE taking over Jimmy Kimmel live was classic. It's always great when Logan Paul gets what he deserves. This had me feeling Higher Than Heaven. Also Drew, and. Randy having a gladiators fight was also funny.

Stephanie Vaquer vs Alba Fyre.

Stephanie Vaquer, beat. Alba Fyre in what was a flat TV Match, that offered up absolutely nothing.

 Fatal 4 Way For The No1 Contendership For The WWE Tag Team Championships.

I have to admit it. I liked this. I don't normally like Fatal 4 Way Tag Team Matches. They normally fall short of my expectations, but this one was a lot of fun. Andrade, and. Rey Fenix, beat. Fraxiom. The Motorcity Machine Gunns, and. DIY, and will now face The wyatt Sic next week, for the WWE Tag Team Championships.

Cody Rhodes And John Cena Contract Signing.

Adam Pearce oversaw the proceedings. Cody signs the contract, whilst basking in the adjulation of the fans, he spoke about the oversight of his activities on Social Media this week, whilst stating that he flinched when he lost to Cena at Mania, to me this wasn't a flinch it was a blink. John came out, and played the victim of circumstance roll perfectly, as he said that he couldn't face Cody at Summerslam due to filming commitments. The split film image was used here to great effect. John walked out, and this pissed Cody off who then went and attacked John. Cody blasted John with the Championship, forged his signature, and then told him, that there Match at Summerslam for the WWE Championship will be a Street Fight. This was an excellent way to end the show, lets just hope that this Match delivers, because I defended their Mania Match, and I was left wishing that I hadn't.

Overview Of Friday Night Smackdown.

This Broadcast was a blast to sit through, and I had a lot of fun watching, because their was very little to not like in my opinion. The in-ring action, and Promos were on the same level, more of this please WWE.

This weeks WWE Friday Night Smackdown is a high 7/10.
