WWE SmackDown is a highlight of the week for many fans. Next week’s episode is already shaping up to be an episode that you can’t miss, or you’ll get behind on the ongoing drama and action.
The October 24 episode of WWE SmackDown went down at the Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona. This included a big statement for Jade Cargill. WWE Friday Night SmackDown will be held at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, UT, on October 31, 2025. The event begins at 5:30 PM. This will be the go-home episode prior to November 1st’s Saturday Night’s Main Event in Salt Lake City. It will also be an episode on Halloween, although it’s not clear if the main roster will celebrate that holiday just yet.
WWE has a lot of things in the works, and that includes next week’s SmackDown. This week’s show left a lot on the table, after all.
Carmelo Hayes is set to take on Kit Wilson next week on SmackDown. This came after Wilson approached Hayes, asking him why he has to promote such a toxic persona. It seems that they will settle things in the ring.
Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss have a lot of history with each other. They had a backstage confrontation during SmackDown this week, and a match was booked between the two former friends and better enemies for the blue brand on October 31.
Fraxiom and #DIY also had a backstage segment this week. Axiom brought up that Johnny Gargano keeps dodging a match with him, so we’ll have to see if he finally gets it.
Jade Cargill will also likely be on hand next week during SmackDown. After beating Tiffany Stratton down this week during her heel turn, it’s very probable that the former AEW TBS Champion will be on hand to speak her piece. Cargill also has a Women’s Title match slated for Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Saturday Night’s Main Event is the next big show on WWE’s schedule. It will take place on November 1 in Salt Lake City, Utah. We will also have full coverage of the entire show here at Ringside News.
