WWE is back with another series of this week’s SmackDown after WrestleMania 41 , which is all set to deliver some actionable and unforgettable matches featuring top-tier WWE talents. This edition of SmackDown will serve as a fallout of the recently held Show of Shows.
In this week’s SmackDown, WWE Undisputed Champion John Cena will appear along with Cody Rhodes under the same roof. Meanwhile, the Blue Brand will witness a heavy tag team match between top WWE factions.
The April 25, 2025, edition of SmackDown will emanate live from Dickies Arena, Fort Worth, Texas, USA. The show will start setting the tone for the Backlash PLE, which will emanate from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri, on May 10, 2025.
Here’s a full WWE SmackDown preview for this week—
WWE SmackDown 2025: Confirmed match card (April 25, 2025)
WWE SmackDown will witness one of the most exciting bouts in this edition as WWE Tag Team Champions The Street Profits, Motor City Machine Guns, and #DIY will collide in a Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match.
According to WWE, the last TLC Match saw Roman Reigns defeat Kevin Owens nearly five years ago at WWE TLC 2020. Now, all three teams have recently held the WWE Tag Team Championship, and animosity has increased in recent weeks.
Last week, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins put their title on the line against Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley until Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa arrived to cause chaos and stole the titles, resulting in the match ending in a no-contest.
This activity prompted SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis to announce the return of this fan favorite matchup.
Mystery wrestler revealDuring last week's SmackDown, another mysterious trailer was shown, with flashing images and smoke, where the date for next Friday, 4.25.25, was displayed. This could be seen as a sign that Aleister Black, who left AEW earlier this year, is expecting to return in this edition of SmackDown.

John Cena and Cody Rhodes are scheduled to appear on WWE SmackDown after their WrestleMania 41 main event, where John Cena won the title of the match. Post their WrestleMania 41 match, John Cena and Cody Rhodes will appear on the Blue Brand under the same roof.
