Friday Night SmackDown in Dallas, Texas is looking massive. With multiple championship matches and Elimination Chamber qualifiers on the card, this episode could seriously shape the road to WrestleMania 42.
From Jade Cargill’s first title defence to Cody Rhodes fighting for another shot at gold, the stakes are high inside the American Airlines Center.
WWE Women’s Championship Match
Jade Cargill will defend the WWE Women’s Championship for the first time since winning it in November. She faces a powerful challenger in Jordynne Grace.
Grace, a former TNA Knockouts Champion, is known as “The Juggernaut” for good reason. She combines strength and speed, and tonight she has the chance to make a huge statement in her main roster spotlight.
For Jade, this is about proving her reign is serious. For Grace, it is about instant impact.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Match
The tag titles are also on the line as Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY defend against Nia Jax and Lash Legend.
Ripley and SKY have been dominant champions since winning the titles. However, Lash Legend has been on a serious roll since joining SmackDown, and Nia Jax brings raw power.
This could be one of the most physical matches of the night.
Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
Cody Rhodes vs Jacob Fatu vs Sami Zayn.
The winner moves on to WWE Elimination Chamber in Chicago for a chance to challenge Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42.
There is tension between Cody and Fatu, which could open the door for Sami Zayn to steal the win. This triple threat could easily headline any episode of SmackDown.
Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
Only one of these three women will advance:
- Giulia (Women’s United States Champion)
- Alexa Bliss
- Zelina Vega
The winner joins Tiffany Stratton and Rhea Ripley inside the Elimination Chamber. With WrestleMania dreams on the line, expect urgency and intensity from all three.
Rey Fenix vs Trick Williams
Rey Fenix takes on Trick Williams in what promises to be an exciting clash of styles.
Trick has been talking nonstop since arriving on SmackDown. Fenix, known for his high-flying style, looks ready to shut him up.
This match could steal the show.
