All superstars confirmed for WWE SmackDown (February 21, 2025)

This week’s episode of SmackDown features a tag title clash

The Stamford-based promotion is descending upon the city that never sleeps to deliver the 02/21 episode of Friday Night SmackDown. The show will emanate live from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisana.

With 2025 Royal Rumble winners Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair making their picks for WrestleMania the attention has shifted to Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton as participants in the Chamber match want to win next month and compete at the grandest stage for the title.

The promotion has announced a total of two matches for this week’s show. The show will likely feature storylines leading up to the Elimination Chamber PLE which will emanate on March 1 from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada.

WWE Tag Team Champion Tomasso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano (DIY) are set to defend their titles against Kit Wilson and Elton Prince (Pretty Deadly) in this week’s episode. This match was set after Pretty Deadly defeated the tag champs in a non-title match to earn the number one contender’s spot.
