The February 27 episode of WWE SmackDown will emanate from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. After airing on Syfy for two weeks due to the winter Olympics, the show will revert to the USA Network from this week.

The February 20 episode of WWE SmackDown aired live from the Amerant Bank Arena in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The ongoing men’s and women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying matches continued this week with two more matches.

Kiana James bagged the win in the women’s match, while Trick Williams won in the men’s match, with both securing the fifth spot in their respective matches. On the other hand, Oba Femi, in his SmackDown in-ring debut, defeated Kit Wilson.

Tiffany Stratton pinned Alba Fyre, while Rhea Ripley vs Giulia ended in DQ as Nia Jax & Lash Legend attacked. In the main event of the show, Aleister Black pinned Randy Orton after Drew McIntyre attacked Orton, helping Black win.

Men’s Elimination Chamber Match participants meet ahead of Saturday

Before Saturday, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, LA Knight, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, and Jey Uso will meet for the final time on SmackDown. The six stars will battle for an opportunity to challenge the Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania in April.

RHIYO (Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky) (c) vs The Irrestible Forces (Nia Jax & Lash Legend) – Women’s Tag Team titles match

Women’s Tag Team Champions Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky will once again defend their titles against The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax & Lash Legend).

Nia and Legend attacked Ripley during her match against Giulia last week, but Iyo made the save, sending the challengers packing before their showdown in Louisville this week. Additionally, Ripley also has the Elimination Chamber on her mind as she is set to partake in the match on Saturday.

Uncle Howdy vs Solo Sikoa

Solo Sikoa is set to face Uncle Howdy in a singles match. Howdy appeared on the Tron following Tama Tonga’s victory over Ilja Dragunov last week, and issued a challenge to Sikoa, which was later made official.

Candice LeRae vs Jordynne Grace

Jordynne Grace and Candice LeRae are also set to lock horns this week. The match was set up following their backstage argument last week, following which GM Nick Aldis made the match official.

Additionally, Oba Femi is set to face The Miz in a singles match. The bout was arranged following a backstage segment between the two, where Femi misinterpreted Miz’s words and subsequently approached General Manager Aldis to make the match official.
