John Cena, Bianca Belair’s Return & More Booked For 5/30 WWE SmackDown

WWE just wrapped a wild night in Savannah, Georgia—but the action isn’t slowing down. The May 30, 2025 episode of SmackDown is locked in for the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee, and the lineup already looks stacked.

Bianca Belair is set to return to WWE television next week, and it’s happening in her own backyard. The Knoxville native is back, and fans will be watching closely to see what role she plays heading into Money in the Bank.

Also confirmed: a triple threat Women’s Money in the Bank qualifier match featuring Nia Jax, Jade Cargill, and Naomi. With only a few slots left in the ladder match, this one could change everything. Each woman has something to prove, and none of them are backing down.

Jacob Fatu will compete in the final Men’s Money in the Bank qualifying match, going toe-to-toe with Carmelo Hayes and Andrade in what’s expected to be a hard-hitting battle. The winner gets one step closer to a life-changing opportunity—and the others walk away empty-handed.

And then there’s John Cena. After Saturday Night’s Main Event, the 17-time world champion will make his return to SmackDown to address the WWE Universe. What he has to say—and who he targets—could reshape the road to Money in the Bank.

SmackDown is heating up with major names and pivotal moments just ahead of WWE’s summer spectacle.
