This Friday, Finn Balor and Penta can finally settle their differences and be one step closer to becoming the final opponent of John Cena at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, 2025.
SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis once again drew random names to participate in the John Cena “The Last Time Is Now” Tournament first round, and he pulled some massive stars to join the field. We have Bronson Reed vs Carmelo Haye, two of WWE’s biggest up-and-comers.
Tommaso Ciampa has gone off the rails, attacking Ilja Dragunov after his successful title defense against Axiom on the last SmackDown. Ciampa has had an issue with Dragunov “ducking him” during the “U.S. Open Challenge.” However, Dragunov stated that Ciampa was acting like an “entitled jack*ss” and he will not enable it by giving him a shot at the United States Championship Match. Dragunov granted his #DIY partner Johnny Gargano a title match, as well as both members of Fraxiom, sending Ciampa over the edge. This week, despite still not getting his coveted U.S. Title shot, Ciampa can blow off some steam, as #DIY take on Fraxiom in a Tag Team Match.
