WWE Smackdown: matches and segments announced, Wrestlemania 41 card and Road To Wrestlemania UK tour details

• After a seismic shift in the WWE Universe, this evening's Smackdown hopefully answers many questions.
• With Cody Rhodes set to appear this evening, will we find out his thoughts after the dramatic John Cena ‘heel’ turn at Elimination Chamber 2025?
• Here’s what has been announced for the March 7 2025 episode of WWE Smackdown, along with how to get tickets to the upcoming WWE UK Tour.

The WWE landscape has completely changed after the events of WWE Elimination Chamber last weekend - one that hopefully is addressed on WWE Smackdown tonight.

The question many wrestling fans are asking, other than ‘why, John, why,’ is where were you when the All-American good guy, John Cena, sold his soul to The Rock after winning the men’s Elimination Chamber match, securing his shot at the WWE Undisputed Championship at Wrestlemania 41 in April.

With Cody Rhodes set to appear on this evening’s episode, perhaps we’ll get some answers from The American Nightmare why he thinks John Cena did the unthinkable - but could we also get a surprise appearance from The Rock to address the situation?

Here’s what you can expect from this evening’s ever intriguing episode of WWE Smackdown when it airs on Netflix in the UK.

WWE Smackdown preview - March 7 2025

Will the WWE Universe and Cody Rhodes find out why John Cena 'sold his soul' at Elimination Chamber 2025 last weekend? | WWE

Randy Orton returns!

After a harrowing return from a near-career-ending Piledriver, Randy Orton is set to address the WWE Universe, and all eyes are on his intended target: Kevin Owens.

Orton, clearly operating on a razor's edge after his near-demise, will delve into the dark depths of his mind, revealing his plans for the Prized Fighter. Expect a chilling and intense segment as The Viper unleashes his venom.

Cody Rhodes set to address the WWE Universe

Cody Rhodes, still reeling from the devastating assault orchestrated by The Rock and John Cena, returns to SmackDown with a broken body and a heavier heart.

Last week, Rhodes' defiant stand against The Rock was met with brutal consequences, and now, he must confront the shocking alliance that has turned his WrestleMania journey into a nightmare. What will Rhodes have to say about the betrayal?

Will he address his future, and how will he react to The Rock and John Cena's partnership with his Wrestlemania 41 opponent?

Will Jade Cargill reveal why she attacked Naomi at Elimination Chamber?

Another huge talking point from Elimination Chamber 2025 was the return of Jade Cargill; the superstar made her presence known during the women’s Elimination Chamber match, returning after being injured on November 24 2024.

However, while Bianca Belair, stuck inside an Elimination Chamber pod, was initially happy to see her former tag team partner return, that glee suddenly changed to sorrow as Cargill brutally destroyed Naomi before returning to the back. Does this mean Naomi is somehow involved in the attack, or are we about to be hoodwinked by the WWE again?
