Tonight’s WWE SmackDown arrives live from the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. With a stacked card that emphatically moves the roster toward the upcoming Survivor Series: WarGames (2025) event. The biggest name in the building is the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes — his appearance alone raises the stakes for the show, because whenever he’s in attendance it signals something important is on the horizon.

In terms of in‑ring action, the two title matches announced really stand out. On the women’s side. Giulia defends the Women’s United States Championship against Chelsea Green. Who is determined to reclaim the record as longest‑reigning champ in that belt’s history. On the men’s side, Ilja Dragunov issues an open challenge for the United States Championship — which means an unknown opponent and big opportunity for someone to make a name for themselves tonight.

Also on the card: Charlotte Flair takes on Nia Jax in what promises to be a collision of power and experience, and Rey Fenix faces Talla Tonga — the kind of mismatch where speed meets brute force in unpredictable fashion. All told, tonight’s SmackDown promises to deliver drama, title implications, and some curveballs heading into the final push of the season.
