Randy Orton returns; Gunther wins & other possible spoilers for WWE SmackDown after Survivor Series 2025

The fallout show might feature a few surprises.

Tonight’s Friday Night SmackDown is set to emanate live from the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. Multiple WWE stars, including Cody Rhodes, Tiffany Stratton, Randy Orton, Charlotte Flair, Drew McIntyre, and Sami Zayn, among others, are being advertised for the show. 

The show will serve as the fallout show for the 2025 edition of Survivor Series. The tournament to decide John Cena’s final opponent will unfold on the show, along with the aftermath from the PLE.

Let’s take a look at the top four spoilers for this week’s show of WWE SmackDown as the promotion looks to close out the show with the December 13 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event, featuring Cena’s final match.

4. Lash Legend wants the smoke

Lash Legend not only had an amazing return to the main roster, but also was part of the women’s WarGames match. WWE also opted to make the final entrance during the match, which signals that the promotion has massive plans for the former NXT standout.

WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill, for weeks, has just been doing whatever she likes, and nobody is able to challenge her. This could change tonight as Legend can not only match Cargill’s intensity, but her alliance with Nia Jax also helps her in taking down anyone, even when at a numbers disadvantage.

3. The MFTs hit back

During the closing moments of last week’s show, the Wyatt Sicks (Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, and Nikki Cross) surrounded Solo Sikoa, who pinned Sami Zayn to secure the victory for his team in the traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. Just as Solo prepared for a brawl, Uncle Howdy appeared from behind and took him out with the Sister Abigail DDT.

Sikoa’s faction, MFT (Talla Tonga, Tama Tonga, JC Mateo & Tonga Loa), were backstage after being eliminated last week. However, this won’t be the case tonight, and after the setback against Gunther on this week’s Raw, Solo might decide to send a clear message to the Wyatt Sicks.

2. Randy Orton returns

‘The Viper’ Randy Orton has been absent from WWE Programming since the October 3, 2025, episode of SmackDown. However, Orton is being advertised for tonight’s show, and earlier reports also confirmed that he will be making an appearance on the fallout show.

Orton hasn’t really had any major or impactful storylines this year, and fans have been asking for his heel turn to spice things up. It remains to be seen what Orton does following his return.

1. Gunther wins

After winning their respective semi-final matches on this week’s Raw, LA Knight and Gunther have secured their spot in the finals. Knight and Gunther are now set to clash in the finals tonight. 

As multiple reports have revealed, Gunther is set to win the tournament and face Cena in his final match. Unless WWE decides otherwise and gives Knight a well-deserved and much-awaited push, Gunther is going to win in the finals tonight.
