John Cena will make his final appearance in Dublin tonight!
On the road to Clash in Paris, WWE will travel to Ireland tonight for this week’s show of Friday Night SmackDown, which is set to air live from the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. This will be the first show of WWE in Europe ahead of the upcoming PLE.
Multiple top names, including John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Tiffany Stratton, Randy Orton, Jade Cargill, and LA Knight, are being advertised for the show. WWE has announced multiple matches and segments from the show, including an appearance from John Cena, along with two singles matches and two tag team matches.
Ahead of tonight’s show, here are the top four potential spoilers that might be in store for fans on WWE SmackDown in Dublin, Ireland.
4. Melo Don’t Miz win

Melo Don’t Miz (The Miz & Carmelo Hayes) are set to battle Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) on this week’s show.
This will be their second match following their reunion on the August 8 episode. The two superstars defeated Fraxiom during last week’s show, and despite their communication problem, will likely emerge victorious in this match, which also might feature more blind tag dramas.

3. Logan Paul flatlines John Cena

John Cena is set to make an appearance tonight in Dublin. This follows his appearance on the August 8 show, where he was challenged to a match at Clash in Paris, a challenge he accepted.
Logan will likely try to ambush Cena again, and given recent trends, he might succeed. Cena is expected to respond during the go-home show next week, helping build anticipation for their upcoming match.
2. Wyatt Sicks chose their next victim

Following the successful WWE Tag Team title defense at SummerSlam 2025 by Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis, the Wyatt Sicks faction is once again pursuing their next target.
Erick Rowan was seen lurking in the distance with his giant hammer during a segment where Solo Sikoa and his MFT (Talla Tonga, JC Mateo & Tonga Loa) interrupted The Street Profits. The Wyatt Sicks could ambush the MFTs tonight, kicking off a feud between the two factions.

WWE Champion Cody Rhodes was brutally attacked by Drew McIntyre on the August 8 episode of SmackDown.
