As wrestling fans gear up for the next thrilling installment of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, set to shake the Unipol Arena in Bologna on March 21, 2025, the anticipation is palpable. Tensions have mounted following a series of explosive events in the weeks leading up to this show, highlighted by the shocking heel turn of John Cena and rising antagonism among the women’s division, particularly with Jade Cargill’s aggressive path. With several intriguing matches already confirmed, including Zelina Vega facing Piper Niven, Liv Morgan squaring off against Jade Cargill, and an intense confrontation between Jacob Fatu and Braun Strowman, the stakes have never been higher.
Zelina Vega vs. Piper Niven
The evening opens with a matchup that promises to be a clash of styles as the agile and sneaky Zelina Vega faces off against the powerhouse Piper Niven. Both women have had their ups and downs, with Vega's cunning approach often getting her out of tight situations, while Niven relies on her brute strength. Recent episodes showcased Vega's resilience against the likes of Tiffany Stratton, who proved to be a strategic threat, whereas Niven's battles with multiple challengers signify her status as a formidable force. With their recent results indicating a heated rivalry brewing, this match is essential for gaining momentum—especially for Vega, who’s recently called out Chelsea Green for a potential title shot. A victory here could open the floodgates for either star, steering their respective narratives as they eye the future of the women's division.
Liv Morgan vs. Jade Cargill
In what might be one of the most electrifying matches of the night, former tag partners Liv Morgan and Jade Cargill clash for supremacy. Their dynamic has been tumultuous since Cargill brutally attacked Naomi at the last Elimination Chamber event, positioning herself as a menacing force within WWE. On the other hand, Morgan is coming in hot after her strong performances, showing that she can bounce back from adversity. If Morgan can rally the crowd behind her, she may just have the upper hand against Cargill’s raw power. The recent tension between these two could suggest that this isn’t just a match—it’s a significant step toward defining their futures and legacies within the WWE. Whichever woman secures the victory will likely gain the momentum needed to challenge for the championship at WrestleMania.
Jacob Fatu vs. Braun Strowman
In the main event, the colossal Jacob Fatu goes toe-to-toe with "The Monster Among Men," Braun Strowman. This battle of giants comes after a series of escalating confrontations, including a jaw-dropping brawl that took place in Philadelphia last week, with Strowman standing tall despite the odds. Fatu, showcasing unmatched agility for a man of his size, has left an impact in WWE while seeking to assert dominance in a new environment. The stakes are high for both competitors: a win for Fatu could establish him as a title contender, while a win for Strowman solidifies his place as the unstoppable force in the heavyweight division. These two men’s collision promises a spectacle of power, and the impact could ripple through the entire roster.
As the event draws closer, the overall tone of SmackDown is set. The return of intense rivalries, the potential for further shocking betrayals, and the overarching WrestleMania implications make this a must-watch for wrestling fans. The tension is thick in the air, and with the event taking place at the Unipol Arena in Bologna, the Italian crowd can expect to witness something truly special!
