Top four potential endings for WWE SmackDown tonight (May 2, 2025)

Randy Orton will make an appearance tonight on SmackDown!

Tonight’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown will emanate live from the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa, USA. However, the promotion has only announced a singles match between Aleister Black and The Miz, along with an appearance from Randy Orton.

The lack of announcement of matches and segments for the show likely means a lot of surprises for fans. Especially as Backlash 2025 approaches, the Blue brand might follow suit from this week’s Monday Night Raw and announce matches for the PLE on May 10th.

Ahead of tonight’s show in Iowa, let us take a look at the top four potential endings for tonight’s show of Friday Night SmackDown.

4. Carmelo Hayes interferes

Following last week’s attack, The Miz is set to battle Aleister Black in a singles match to settle the score. This would be Black’s first match since his return to WWE last week after years of absence. However, Miz’s ally Carmelo Hayes, who, despite initial hesitation, seems to have realized his value since Miz helped him win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, Hayes might return the favor by interfering in the match to help Miz.

3. The Secret Hervice targets the new Champion

Zelina Vega surprised everyone last week when she pinned Chelsea Green to capture the Women’s United States title. However, the victory came in the absence of Green’s Secret Hervice (Alba Fyre & Piper Niven), which might irk them as their negligence cost Green the title. The Secret Hervice might target Vega, ambushing her badly for pinning the former Champion.

2. Fatal four-way announcement

The newly crowned United States Champion, Jacob Fatu, once again displayed his dominance last week by single-handedly taking out LA Knight, Damian Priest, and Drew McIntyre during a #1 contender’s match between Knight and McIntyre.

The match ended in a disqualification after Priest ambushed McIntyre but the segment ended with Fatu standing tall. The promotion can conclude the show, announcing a colossal fatal four-way clash between the four with the United States title on the line at the upcoming PLE.

1. John Cena retaliates

On last week’s show, Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena and Randy Orton engaged in a fiery segment, which also included an official title clash announcement for the Backlash PLE. However, the segment ended unceremoniously for the Champion as he tried to attack Orton only to eat a vicious RKO. Orton is now set for an appearance tonight, and Cena might retaliate by ambushing him for the humiliation last week.
