Tonight's WWE SmackDown will be the go-home episode of the blue brand's show before the upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event. Despite the packed weekend, the show is stacked as it features several exciting matches that will continue the build to Money in the Bank.

The May 23, 2025, episode of WWE SmackDown will take place at the Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia. It has a capacity of up to 9,500 and is the home of the ECHL's Savannah Ghost Pirates.

Only a few shows from the Stamford-based promotion have been held at tonight's arena. The last time WWE was at the Enmarket Arena was on the May 30, 2024, edition of Main Event.

What to expect from this week's Friday Night SmackDown?

As of this writing, three matches are set for tonight's show. Two matches will determine the next qualifiers for the upcoming Money in the Bank Ladder Matches, while the other will be for a championship.

The Street Profits have been actively facing several tag teams on the blue brand's show, the most recent being Fraxiom, and the newest duo on the brand quickly showed it should not be messed with. A couple of weeks ago, Nathan Frazer and Axiom pinned Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford in a non-title match. Tonight, the teams will meet again, but this time, the WWE Tag Team Championship will be on the line.

Qualifying bouts for the Men's and Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Matches will also be held on this week's WWE SmackDown. Solo Sikoa qualified last week by defeating Jimmy Uso and Rey Fenix in a Triple Threat Match. Tonight, Shinsuke Nakamura, Aleister Black, and LA Knight will look to join him when they battle in a Triple Threat Match.

On the women's side, Charlotte Flair, Women's United States Champion Zelina Vega, and Giulia will battle for a spot in the Women's MITB Ladder Match. It will be interesting to see who joins Alexa Bliss, Roxanne Perez, and Rhea Ripley in the gimmick match at the June 7 premium live event.

Since tonight's WWE SmackDown will be the final episode before Saturday Night's Main Event XXXIX, fans can also expect appearances from stars who will compete this weekend, like Damian Priest, Drew McIntyre, and even R-Truth.
