Tonight’s SmackDown might feature a big debut!
As the clock ticks down for the final PLE of 2025, Survivor Series: WarGames, WWE has intensified the build, announcing the teams for the men’s and women’s WarGames matches. This theme is likely going to carry over to this Friday’s SmackDown in the Big Apple.
The upcoming November 14 episode of Friday Night SmackDown is set to air live from the MVP Arena in Albany, New York. The show will continue the build towards the final PLE of 2025, Survivor Series, likely announcing matches for the show.
Multiple big names, including Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill, Jacob Fatu, and Drew McIntyre, among others, are being advertised for the show. Let’s take a look at the top four spoilers for this week’s show of WWE SmackDown.
4. The MFTs hit back

During last week’s show, Rey Fenix battled Talla Tonga in a losing effort. However, Solo Sikoa and his MFT wanted to inflict more damage on Fenix. Sami Zayn rushed to aid Fenix, fending off the MFTs who wisely retreated.
Sikoa and his MFT might choose to retaliate by targeting Zayn, who is already not medically cleared, and Fenix might receive the same treatment; after all, it’s all about making a loud statement.

3. Jade Cargill wins

WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill is set to battle B-Fab in a non-title match. The match was set following a heated backstage interaction where B-Fab called out Cargill’s attitude. This will be Jade’s first match since becoming the Champion, and WWE might decide to make this a squash match.
However, creating a well-thought-out feud between the two would benefit them as the Blue brand’s women’s division is non-existent, and at the very least, B-Fab would be a new face in the title picture. Nevertheless, one thing is for sure, and that is Cargill is going to win the match.
2. Joe Hendry debuts

In the third first-round matchup, Jey Uso will face The Miz tonight, while the second matchup will feature LA Knight against a mystery opponent that Aldis chose to keep secret, which will be revealed during the show.
Although there are many names speculated for tonight, former TNA World Champion Joe Hendry could turn out to be the mystery opponent. Hendry has been a staple of the NXT brand and has become a household name. Hendry has also signed a new full-time deal with the WWE recently and could make his SmackDown debut tonight.
1. Aleister Black joins The Vision
Alsiter Black kicked off a feud with the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes last week, and the two even clashed in the main event, which ended in a no-contest as Drew McIntyre attacked the referee. McIntyre has been suspended for his actions, while Damian Priest could be out of action due to the eye injury.
This means the feud between Black and Rhodes is likely going to continue in their respective rivals’ absence. Black could decide to team up with The Vision (Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed) and Logan Paul in the men’s WarGames match against the team of CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Jey Uso. This would not only further their feud but would also fill one of the two remaining spots in the WarGames match.
