WWE SmackDown Live Blog & Results (February 7, 2025)

WWE Friday Night SmackDown returns tonight for the first time since the Royal Rumble. Screening live tonight from Memphis, Tennessee, it will be the first appearance of the Rumble winners Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair on the blue brand. Both will be flexing their lungs and stating their intentions for WrestleMania 41. Before that, WWE will stop in Toronto, Canada for this year’s Elimination Chamber. The qualifying matches for the unique caged event will officially start tonight and some of the advertised matches will leave wrestling fans salivating.

The main event for tonight’s show will be a Triple Threat match between Jimmy Uso, LA Knight and Drew McIntyre in their Elimination Chamber Qualifier, all of whom were eliminated from the Rumble match last weekend. Despite reports of McIntyre being unhappy in Indianapolis, the Scot made the switch from Raw to SmackDown during the Transfer Window which comes to a close soon.

Alexa Bliss will compete in her first match since making a spectacular return at the Rumble and was greeted by one of the loudest pops in the event’s history. The five-time WWE women’s champion will face Candace LeRae as the Goddess looks to position herself in the main event slot once more. The final match penned in on tonight’s card is a Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier between Bianca Belair and Piper Niven.
