The WWE SmackDown event on November 21, 2025, took place at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. With Thanksgiving approaching, WWE chose to give its roster a break on November 28, so they taped two episodes of SmackDown in advance.
The upcoming episode is stirring excitement with a classic Survivor Series elimination match. Sami Zayn is set to lead a team featuring Shinsuke Nakamura, Fenix, and the Motor City Machine Guns against Solo Sikoa and the MFTs.
In a recent tournament, Jey Uso triumphed over Rusev, earning a spot in the next round. Chelsea Green celebrated her championship win, but her plans went awry when Jade Cargill crashed her party.
In another notable development, The Miz stepped in for the injured Sheamus, as announced by WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis. Unfortunately for The Miz, LA Knight defeated him in their match, knocking The Miz out of the tournament.
Backstage segments included the Kabuki Warriors, Nia Jax, Lash Legend, and Becky Lynch, adding to the buzz of the evening.
A highlight was Charlotte Flair’s match against Asuka, which was pivotal for the upcoming WarGames event. Flair emerged victorious, giving her team the upper hand.
The main event promised plenty of action. In a classic Survivor Series showdown, Team Sami faced off against Team MFT. After a series of eliminations, Solo Sikoa stood as the sole survivor.
Post-match, the tension escalated as The Wyatt Sick6 confronted Sikoa, with Uncle Howdy making a shocking return and delivering a Sister Abigail to end the show dramatically.
Fan reactions and social media buzz surrounding the event indicate strong interest, with many eager to see how the Survivor Series match unfolds. According to a recent survey by Wrestling Observer, around 65% of viewers plan to tune in for the next episode, highlighting the show’s lasting appeal.
