WWE SmackDown July 25, 2025 Preview: Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Tag Team Title Match and More
This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, airing live on July 25, 2025, promises intense confrontations, championship action, and star-studded appearances as WWE continues its road to SummerSlam 2025. Set to broadcast from the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio, fans can expect a packed night filled with major storyline developments.
Let’s break down everything confirmed so far for tonight’s Friday Night SmackDown.
Randy Orton & Jelly Roll Face Logan Paul & Drew McIntyre
One of the biggest showdowns tonight will see Randy Orton and country star Jelly Roll come face-to-face with their SummerSlam opponents Drew McIntyre and United States Champion Logan Paul.
Tensions between these two teams have been rising fast. Last week, fists nearly flew during a backstage segment, and this week could explode. With SummerSlam just around the corner, this segment could set the tone for one of the most talked-about celebrity tag matches in recent memory.
Will Orton unleash an RKO outta nowhere? Will Jelly Roll prove he can hang in the ring? Tune in to find out.
WWE Tag Team Championship: Wyatt Sicks vs. Andrade & Rey Fenix
Fresh off their tag team victory last week, Andrade and Rey Fenix have earned themselves a WWE Tag Team Championship match against the eerie duo of Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis from The Wyatt Sicks.
Gacy and Lumis have been dominating the tag division with psychological warfare and brute strength. However, Andrade and Fenix’s high-flying offense and lucha-libre chemistry could throw the champions off their game.
Could this be the night the Tag Team Titles change hands? The result could shake up the tag division heading into SummerSlam.
Alexa Bliss vs. Roxanne Perez
In women’s division action, Alexa Bliss will square off against NXT standout Roxanne Perez. Bliss has recently returned with a new edge, while Roxanne continues to impress with her technical skills and fiery passion.
This match could be a statement opportunity for both women. A win here might catapult one of them into SummerSlam title contention.
Cody Rhodes Returns
The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes will appear live on SmackDown following last week’s confrontation with John Cena. Cody shocked fans by laying out Cena in a brutal segment that has left many speculating about a potential dream match at SummerSlam.
Tonight, Rhodes is expected to address his actions—and maybe respond to Cena’s potential challenge. Expect fireworks.
