WWE SmackDown Results (11/28/25): Live Match Updates and Highlights

SmackDown began with a video recap of last week’s women’s WarGames storyline and the follow-up from Raw. Joe Tessitore and Corey Graves welcomed viewers as backstage shots showed Asuka, Charlotte Flair, and Team MFT.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley caught up with LA Knight. He was frustrated to hear he’d be facing another mystery opponent but kept it cool, saying he knew she was just the messenger—and even gave a shoutout to her mom in the crowd.

Jey Uso vs. Rusev

Jey Uso then made his entrance through the audience. Ring announcer Mark Nash introduced Jey Uso as he made his way to ringside, slapping hands with the commentary team along the way. Inside the ring, Jey hyped up the crowd. Corey Graves noted that while it looks fun on TV, experiencing Jey’s entrance live is something else.

Rusev then made his entrance from the stage. As he walked out, he looked into the camera and said he was coming for John Cena. Michael Cole noted that the winner of this match would face the winner of LA Knight vs. the mystery opponent in a semifinal match on Raw.

Chelsea Green’s Celebration

Chelsea Green made her entrance alongside Secret Hervice for a special in-ring celebration. The ring was decorated with the flags of Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

She declared herself the greatest Women’s Champion in the history of WWE, the United States, and all of North America. Chelsea then invited the crowd to join her in raising their voices and flags for a grand pyro display in her honor. As she began a countdown, the moment was interrupted.

WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill stormed down to the ring and immediately took out Alba Fyre with a big boot. Chelsea attempted to escape but was caught by Cargill, who delivered the Jaded before standing tall. As Cargill’s music played, she exited up the ramp, and the pyro originally meant for Chelsea’s celebration fired off behind her.

After the break, Cathy Kelley caught up with Jade Cargill and asked why she attacked Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre. Jade said she has a problem with anyone who talks too much and made it clear that her actions were a warning to the rest of the women’s locker room. As she walked off, she passed B-Fab and questioned if she had anything to say. B-Fab stayed silent. Michin then appeared and said she might need to have a word with Jade.
