Everything you need to know about how to watch WWE SmackDown in the UK, including start time, match card, and ticket prices.
WWE SmackDown kicks off April 2025 with an action-packed episode as the road to WrestleMania 41 continues.
With just over three weeks until the biggest event in professional wrestling, tensions are running high, and every match has big implications.
WWE SmackDown Preview
This week’s SmackDown features a brutal Last Man Standing match between Braun Strowman and Jacob Fatu. The long-running rivalry reaches its peak as both men look to establish themselves as the top big man on SmackDown. The winner could well be next in line for a shot at LA Knight’s United States Championship – possibly even at WrestleMania.
We will also see the WWE debut of Rey Fenix on Friday night – a high-flying luchador with a championship pedigree. Fans are eager to see how his dynamic style translates to the WWE landscape.
Also, Naomi looks to build on her recent momentum as she takes on B-Fab, and CM Punk returns to Chicago to address his WrestleMania opponents, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Will we find out what Paul Heyman’s favour for Punk is?

Chicago’s own CM Punk has very fond memories of this arena. He made his dramatic WWE return here at Survivor Series 2023 and famously defeated John Cena in their legendary WWE Championship match at Money in the Bank 2011.
