Joe Tessitore welcomes us to SmackDown in Spain. Fans eagerly wait outside the arena. Backstage, Cody Rhodes walks with focus, followed by Gunther, Carmelo Hayes, and Randy Orton. The Street Profits and DIY make their way through the halls. The camera then cuts to Paul Heyman backstage before heading to ringside.

LA Knight’s music hits, and the crowd erupts as Lilian Garcia announces his arrival. LA Knight steps into the ring, mic in hand. He fires up the crowd with three loud “YEAH” chants before hitting them with his signature, “Let me talk to you!” LA Knight says it’s been far too long since he’s held a championship, and he’s glad to have it back in his hands. Before he can continue, Jimmy Uso’s music interrupts mid-promo.

Jimmy Uso makes his way to the ring as fans chant “USO!” Grabbing the mic, he quickly shuts down any idea of congratulating LA Knight, calling him desperate. He says his road to WrestleMania is getting shorter, but he’s figured out the first step—challenging Knight for the U.S. Title. Before he can say more, Jacob Fatu’s music hits.

Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu make their way to the ring, flanked by their crew. Solo grabs the mic and declares that if anyone deserves a shot at the U.S. Title, it’s Jacob Fatu. He then turns to Jimmy, telling him to step aside because he’s the failure of the family.

Jimmy fires back, reminding Solo that he lost to Roman Reigns. Tensions boil over, and chaos erupts as The Bloodline ambushes LA Knight and Jimmy.

We return from the break with a video package highlighting the fallout between former best friends Jade Cargill, Naomi, and Bianca Belair. The recap showcases the tension, betrayals, and key moments that led to their heated rivalry.

We return to Cathy Kelley standing in an empty arena with Jade Cargill. Cathy asks Jade how the past few months have been and where she stands now. Jade, with confidence, says she’s physically ready to go but can’t believe Naomi is acting like a victim. She calls it pathetic, saying Naomi never needed help or a handout—so how’s that working out for her now? Cathy then asks how Jade knew Naomi was the attacker and why she kept it to herself.

Jade recalls being blindsided and thrown onto a car, only to see Naomi running away. She reminds Cathy that Naomi was like a big sister to her, and along with Bianca, they were the big three. Naomi didn’t just attack her physically—she betrayed her loyalty. Now, she questions how she can trust anyone, especially after watching Bianca team with Naomi like nothing ever happened. Before Jade can say more, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez walk into the arena, leading to a tense exchange.

Liv reminds Jade that she was blamed for the attacks. Jade smirks, firing back that Liv and Raquel never would have held the titles if she was still around. Liv doesn’t back down, but Jade says she doesn’t need a title to prove herself and challenges Liv to a match next week. Liv smirks before walking off, telling Jade not to fall onto any vehicles between now and then.

As the segment ends, we see B-Fab walking backstage. She approaches Charlotte Flair, telling her she hopes she didn’t underestimate her. B-Fab makes it clear she’s here to build her legacy—because that’s how it be.

Drew McIntyre appears in a pre-recorded promo, his intensity palpable. He reflects on his journey, admitting that he was so focused on the obstacles in front of him that he failed to see the one person who benefited every time he got screwed—Damian Priest. McIntyre recalls WrestleMania 40, where he finally defeated Seth Rollins for the title, a moment four years in the making. It was perfect… until it wasn’t. Priest blindsided him, cashed in, and stole everything.

At Clash at the Castle, it was supposed to be his redemption. Perfect… until it wasn’t. Once again, Priest swooped in like a vulture, picking the bones clean. A month later, at Money in the Bank, McIntyre fought his way back, only to be robbed once more by the same parasite, Damian Priest. “You couldn’t succeed until it was off my back,” McIntyre growls.

He recounts being eliminated by Priest at the Royal Rumble and being robbed at Elimination Chamber, where he hit a Claymore on Cena, only for Priest to steal the pin. “This isn’t about taking the title from me,” McIntyre seethes. “This is about putting you down so you can’t take anything from me ever again.”

The Miz heads to the ring as the crowd buzzes in anticipation—MizTV is up next. We go to commercial.

Tiffany, undeterred, climbs onto the LED screen and launches herself off with a swanton, wiping out everyone below. Before being escorted to the back, she gets in one last kick on Flair.

The Miz, watching the mayhem unfold, smirks and says, “Now that’s a great way to kick off MizTV.” He shifts gears, bringing up his guest’s recent choices, stating that he should have accepted The Rock’s offer. Instead, he got beaten up by two of the best rappers alive—Travis Scott and John Cena. Miz reminds everyone that unlike his guest, he has actually beaten John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania.

The familiar sound of Kingdom hits, and Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring. Miz interrupts Cody’s entrance, saying he has no time for sing-alongs and is here to ask tough questions.

Cody responds with a punch and hits CrossRhodes. Grabbing the mic, Cody says he only wants to talk to John Cena. If Cena finds it worth his time to join the Road to WrestleMania on Monday, Cody will be there too.

Earlier today in Nick Aldis’ office, he berates Shinsuke Nakamura for spitting mist in the referee’s eyes. He considers a suspension but instead calls for a rematch.

Damian Priest demands to know where Drew McIntyre is. Nakamura says something in Japanese, which Priest doesn’t understand. Priest, ready for a fight, promises to give Nakamura a beating. Aldis makes the match official.

Ciampa then asks how to say “Moment of Silence” in Spanish.

Alex Shelley interrupts, saying nobody cares—just like they didn’t care about how Gargano won the titles. Chris Sabin reminds them that they haven’t forgotten. Once they’re done with The Street Profits, they have unfinished business.

Randy Orton is shown walking backstage. Commercial break.

Back from the break, Cathy Kelley is with Piper Niven and Alba Fyre. Piper demands credentials, but Chelsea Green assures her that Cathy is fine. Cathy asks about last week’s match against Michin. Green, frustrated, asks if anyone has noticed the injustice she’s faced. She’s been thrown into matches by Nicholas and forced to compete against Michin. She says that when a true leader is backed into a corner, she brings out her biggest weapons.

Zelina Vega interrupts, suggesting she’ll be the next champion. Piper steps up, warning Vega that if she wants Chelsea, she has to go through them first. Vega confidently responds that she’ll beat them next week—and then the title will be hers.

Gunther then makes his way to the ring.

Back from the break, the screen fades into a smoky room with the number four displayed. Gunther steps into view, declaring that the Road to WrestleMania in Europe begins in Barcelona. As the greatest European wrestler of all time, he had to be here—but admits he would have preferred Madrid.

He then reveals the real reason he’s here: to prove a point. “You love Jey Uso because he dances and raises his hands with you, but when the bell rings, all of that stops,” Gunther says. He shifts his focus to A-Kid, calling him Spain’s best wrestler and one of WWE’s most promising talents. “You love him,” Gunther continues, “but that doesn’t mean a damn thing.” Gunther then raises his hand, signaling someone off-screen—Axiom, Spain’s national hero, steps forward.

Back from the break, we get a recap of the Steel Cage Match from Raw.

Paul Heyman is in the ring and promises to keep things short and sweet. He has two things to say. First, today is Roman Reigns Day—because today marks the release of WWE 2K25. He reminds everyone that they’ll go home and play the game, but advises them to wait until SmackDown is over, especially his segment, because ratings matter.

Heyman then acknowledges that some people have an issue with today being Roman Reigns Day or with Roman being on the cover of the game. One of those people happens to be CM Punk, whom he calls the best in the world… at being his friend. However, it’s not CM Punk Day—it’s Roman Reigns Day. And it never will be Seth Rollins Day either. Heyman adds that he hates that freaking song.

If anyone has a problem with him hating that song, or that today is Roman Reigns Day, or that Roman is on the cover of WWE 2K25, they can say it to his face next week in Bologna, Italy. Heyman taunts the crowd, telling them not to boo and sarcastically suggesting they can book a flight on “Cheapo Airlines” to Italy. He mocks that Mussolini isn’t stopping them from crossing the border, so if they have something to say, they can do it in person next week.

Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford walk through the backstage area but are stopped by Legado del Fantasma. Santos Escobar assures them there’s no issue between them. In fact, he hopes The Street Profits win tonight—because Legado would love nothing more than to take the titles from them. Montez Ford smirks, saying they’ve heard the talk for the last four years, but tonight, they’re silencing the critics and making sure everyone else wakes up. Dawkins keeps it simple: “No more talking. We’re walking out as tag champs.”
