WWE SmackDown Results (3/28/25): Live Match Updates and Highlights

Our announcers tonight are Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett.

Charlotte Flair and LA Knight are seen arriving at the venue. Cody Rhodes then makes his way to the arena. The fans at the O2 Arena sing along to Cody Rhodes’ theme as he heads to the ring. Cody takes it all in while they chant, “Cody! Cody Rhodes!”

After about nine minutes, Cody finally brings up John Cena’s attempt to break the 17-time world title record at WrestleMania. He says he’ll be meeting Cena face-to-face in a few days. Just then, Randy Orton’s music hits, and the crowd gets loud again, singing along with his theme.

About five minutes later, after the fans finish singing his theme, Randy Orton finally steps into the ring and grabs a mic. He says he’s not usually the sentimental type, but for London—screw it. The crowd erupts with “RKO” chants. Orton tells the fans, “Look where he came from.” He starts to say, “I remember a Cody Rhodes…” but the crowd cuts him off with loud “Cody! Cody Rhodes!” chants again. Randy Orton talks about Cody Rhodes breaking into the business and working hard from day one. He points out how Cody hit a wall, got frustrated, but knew he had to grow—so he left WWE. Orton says that took “big-ass balls” and the crowd reacts. He adds that everyone knows it, and everyone in the back respects it. Orton says Cody didn’t just grow—he changed the business.

Orton says that even though Cody has grown, deep down he’s still the same guy he’s always known. Once again, the crowd drowns him out with loud “Cody! Cody Rhodes!” chants.

Orton brings up Cody Rhodes tearing his pec but still going through with the Hell in a Cell match against Seth Rollins. He reminds everyone that Cody came back from that and went on to beat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Orton says Cody is now in charge of his own legacy. Orton wraps it up by saying, in short, he respects Cody and is proud of him—but now, it’s time for WrestleMania.

Orton vows to kick Kevin Owens in the head—he says he can feel it already. He can’t wait to take Owens’ head off his shoulders. Orton tells Cody he’s going to walk into WrestleMania as champion and walk out the same way. But after the smoke clears and the dust settles, he says, there’s going to come a time when he’ll want to go after number 15. Orton says he considers Cody an equal, and he’s going to look him in the eye and tell him straight—he’s coming for this, as he points at the title. Right then, Drew McIntyre’s music hits.

Drew McIntyre says their little love fest makes him sick. He questions Orton going after the title and asks what he’s even done to deserve a shot, pointing out that Orton’s been out injured. Drew tells him, “Get to the back of the line, sunshine.”

Turning to Cody, Drew says he should’ve listened to him—but instead, Cody attacked him. He adds that everyone should’ve listened to him about John Cena too, but no one did. Drew says the real WrestleMania main event should be Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre, but it’s not—and he blames Damian Priest for that.

Drew says it won’t be Orton who takes the title from Cody—it’s going to be Drew McIntyre. Orton cuts him off and says, “Cut the B.S., Drew. Get to the point.” Drew says Orton looks great—on the outside—but deep down, he knows that back is hanging on by a thread. As Drew turns his attention to Cody, Orton tries to catch him with a sneak attack, but Drew sees it coming and quickly slips out of the ring.

The Street Profits are shown walking to the ring as the show heads to commercial.

We’re back, and it’s official—Drew McIntyre will face Randy Orton later tonight.

They go again, and Knight gets the same result. Knight grabs a side headlock, escapes a belly-to-back suplex, and tries lifting Braun—but can’t get him up.

The crowd is stunned as Fatu pauses, then decides to do it again—hitting a second double jump moonsault for good measure.

We then cut to a recap of what went down between Jimmy Uso and Gunther on Raw.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond is with Jimmy Uso and asks him about the slap from Monday night.

Jimmy says he’d do it again in a heartbeat. He says Jey is messing with his head, and just because he’s 0-3 against Gunther doesn’t mean he can’t win. He vows to bust Gunther’s ass this Monday—and adds that Jey will take care of business at WrestleMania.

As Jimmy walks off, he’s stopped in the hallway by The Miz and Carmelo Hayes. Miz mocks him, saying it’s funny how Jimmy suddenly acts like a tough guy after being “the other Uso” for so long. He calls them both career sidekicks and says neither of them will beat Gunther. Miz tells Jimmy he has no idea what it really means to carry the company and warns him not to try anything. Miz says, “You wouldn’t get away with slapping me.” Jimmy smirks as Miz flinches, then tells him he’s making a match for them tonight.

Commercial Break

We return to see Jacob Fatu walking backstage, where he’s stopped by Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga. Solo questions why Fatu was out there on his own. Fatu fires back, saying he doesn’t need their approval after what went down last week. Solo tells him to watch his tone. Jacob says when it comes to Braun Strowman, he’ll be the last man standing. He vows to bring the title home to the family—with them or without them—and asks if they understand what he means.

Meanwhile, Naomi is seen talking softly to herself before turning to the camera. She says she’s the one who always did the right thing. She questions Bianca, asking what makes her think the attack on Jade wasn’t just another example of doing what’s right. Naomi gets emotional as she talks about everything she’s sacrificed, and how it breaks her heart to now be treated like the villain. She questions how Jade could just show up and take her place—especially with Bianca. Naomi reminds Bianca that she was the one who inspired her and had her back from day one, not Jade. Naomi says she’s tired of being treated like a third wheel and pushed aside. She refuses to be unappreciated anymore. She closes by warning: if Jade keeps standing in her way, she better proceed with caution.

In the office, Jade Cargill demands to know where Naomi is. Nick Aldis says no one’s seen her. Jade responds coldly—she’ll find her. B-Fab and Michin approach and support Jade. B-Fab calls Naomi’s actions trash. Michin says she’ll handle Charlotte while Jade deals with Naomi. B-Fab wishes Jade luck when she finally faces Naomi.

Commercial Break.

We’re back with a video teasing the likely return of Aleister Black, setting an ominous tone.

Meanwhile, chaos breaks out at ringside. Naomi blindsides Michin before Charlotte can even make her entrance. Naomi hits an X-Factor on Michin, then mounts her with punches.

Michin goes for a kick, but misses and crashes into the steps. Flair takes advantage, sweeping the leg out from under her. Charlotte follows up with a knee drop to the leg and locks in the Figure Four. She bridges into the Figure Eight—Michin has no choice but to tap.

Winner: Charlotte Flair

Backstage, Jackie Redmond is with Tiffany Stratton, asking her about last week’s interview segment. Tiffany says Charlotte just loves to hear herself talk and wouldn’t let a rookie get a word in. She adds that she has nothing to lose at WrestleMania. If she loses, she’s just a 25-year-old rookie who lost to Charlotte Flair. But Charlotte? She’s got everything to lose. Tiffany smirks and says maybe Charlotte will finally shut up. She vows that what happens in Vegas won’t stay in Vegas—because Charlotte’s massive ego is staying behind. Tiffany says she’s walking out of WrestleMania with the title.

Joe Tessitore hypes up the WrestleMania After Dark events, with Wade Barrett adding excitement for what’s still to come tonight.

We go to commercial.

We’re back with a recap of John Cena’s appearance on Raw.

In the ring, Nick Aldis stands beside a table, chairs, and a contract. He says everyone knows why he’s out there—and why there’s extra security. It’s time to sign the contract for one of the biggest Triple Threat Matches in WWE history: Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns is the first to make his entrance, accompanied by Paul Heyman. The entrance lasts over five minutes, with Roman soaking in the moment before finally making his way to the ring.

Roman grabs the mic and says, “London, acknowledge me!” The crowd erupts, chanting “Roman! Roman Reigns!” again and again. Roman smirks and says, “Just beautiful how you sing to your Tribal Chief.” Paul Heyman joins in, chanting “Roman! Roman Reigns!” along with the crowd. Roman laughs and says, “That’s the whole OTC for you, baby. The biggest star on the planet.”

He continues, “I came here for two reasons. One—to be acknowledged. And two—to sign this contract.” Roman picks up the pen and signs the contract. “Looks like we checked those boxes…”Suddenly, Seth Rollins’ music hits, cutting him off.

Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring, and now the crowd is singing along to his theme song just like they did for Roman. Rollins soaks it in with a smug grin, then grabs a mic and lets out a little laugh, Seth Rollins comes out to the ring, and the crowd starts singing his theme song too. He grabs a mic and lets out a little laugh. He then asks why Roman is in such a rush to leave. Seth brings up how twelve years ago, they landed on the roof in a helicopter, ready to tear the place down. He reminds Roman they even put The Undertaker through a table and says they’ve been through a lot together. Seth adds that they accomplished their mission.

Roman responds, pointing out how Seth keeps saying “we” and “our mission.” Roman says “we” died a long time ago. It’s only been him. Seth may have been around, but Roman claims he’s done all the work. He says he made WWE what it is today, took the company to Netflix, and secured billion-dollar deals.

Seth fires back, saying that mindset is exactly why he’s screwed Roman over in the past. He says the real danger is right in front of them—CM Punk. Seth says Roman let the biggest snake into the garden when he shook Punk’s hand at WarGames. He says he could’ve ended Punk at Madison Square Garden, but Roman didn’t let him. Now, Seth says he’s here to clean up Roman’s mess—again. Seth then signs the contract.

CM Punk’s music hits, and he makes his way to the ring. CM Punk says he came here to chew bubble gum and sign a contract—and he’s all out of bubble gum. He takes a moment to review the contract, and Roman cuts in, asking if Punk needs a highlighter. Roman tells him to check out page 4 and adds, “It’s TV, so let’s do it today.” He then asks Paul Heyman to help Punk understand it. Paul tells Punk that it’s all in the contract—he’s closing the show at WrestleMania. Paul says Punk gets to live his dream—he’s finally a WrestleMania main eventer.

Seth interrupts and says this isn’t a joke. He says Punk doesn’t deserve it. Seth throws a fit, saying main eventing WrestleMania is sacred. It means everything to him—especially because Punk has never done it. Seth then blames Roman and Paul for making it happen. Punk stands up. CM Punk thanks London, Chicago, Louisville, and all the fans who stood by him and chanted his name for ten long years.

Roman steps in and tells Punk there’s only one person he should be thanking. Roman says it’s because of him that Punk is in the main event—and he wants Punk to acknowledge him. Punk gets down on one knee, looks up at Roman, and sarcastically thanks his Tribal Chief—for allowing a kid from Chicago to be graced by his presence and to stand in his ring. Punk thanks Roman… but says he’ll see him in the main event of WrestleMania.

Punk signs the contract. He thanks Roman again—then adds, “But that’s not the favor I’m owed.” We go to credits.
