Elimination Chamber qualifying matches are underway!
WWE SmackDown is set for a stacked return on Friday, February 13, as the blue brand continues its march toward Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 42.
After a storyline-heavy episode this week, multiple championships and Elimination Chamber qualifying matches are already confirmed, giving next Friday’s show a premium live event–level feel.
With tensions rising across the women’s and men’s divisions alike, WWE SmackDown on SyFy is shaping up to be one of the most consequential episodes of the early WrestleMania season.
Multiple big names, including Cody Rhodes, Tiffany Stratton, Randy Orton, and Jade Cargill, are currently being advertised for the show.
Jade Cargill captured the WWE Women’s Championship from Tiffany Stratton in November, but her reign has yet to be tested in a title defense, until now. Since winning the gold, Cargill has dominated three singles bouts on WWE SmackDown, though a true top contender never emerged.
That changes with the arrival of elite veteran Jordynne Grace, a powerful newcomer to the blue brand. With WrestleMania 42 on the horizon, Cargill needs a statement win to solidify her championship reign.
Elimination Chamber implications were felt throughout last Friday’s show. Tiffany Stratton officially punched her ticket to Chicago, while Randy Orton qualified for the men’s Elimination Chamber for the 10th time in his career.
This week, two more competitors will earn their way into the unforgiving structure. On the women’s side, Women’s United States Champion Giulia will compete in a triple threat against Zelina Vega and Alexa Bliss, with a Chamber spot at stake.
The men’s qualifier is just as compelling. A frustrated Sami Zayn looks to rebound from his Royal Rumble loss as he faces Jacob Fatu and former WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in a high-stakes triple threat.
With championships on the line and WrestleMania paths beginning to emerge, next week’s SmackDown is positioned as a pivotal chapter on the road to Elimination Chamber.
