WWE SmackDown Advertised Match Card (March 28, 2025)

The London crowd are going to be treated to two decisive title matches which could determine certain paths for WrestleMania, as well as the aforementioned contract signing.

Confirmed Matches:

• LA Knight vs Braun Strowman – United States Championship
• The Street Profits vs Pretty Deadly – WWE Tag Team Championship​

Note: The card is subject to change.

What to Expect on WWE SmackDown

Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins Make It Official

Three of the biggest stars in the company are set to put pen to paper and finalise their triple threat match for WrestleMania.

After last week’s chaotic brawl in Bologna, the contract signing is expected to be anything but civil.

With Reigns continuing to question Paul Heyman’s true loyalties and making it clear he intends to take both Punk and Rollins out for good, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Will a shocking stipulation be added to the match? Will Punk finally cash in on the mysterious favour Heyman owes him? And, perhaps most importantly—will this signing even make it to completion before all hell breaks loose?

LA Knight Defends His US Title

Braun Strowman is the next man to pursue LA Knight’s United States Championship, after Jacob Fatu was disqualified in their #1 Contender’s Match last week, following interference from the Bloodline.

Can the ‘Monster Among Men’ book his ticket to WrestleMania, or will there be more shenanigans in store tonight?

The Road to WrestleMania Intensifies

The Street Profits will defend their tag titles against England’s own Pretty Deadly in what should be a fun tag team match.

Two weeks ago in Barcelona we had Gunther compete in action against Spain’s own Axiom, so could we see the World Heavyweight Champion compete against the other half of the NXT Tag Champs, Nathan Frazer?

In the women’s division, expect Charlotte and Tiffany Stratton to continue the build to their WWE Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania, as well as the ongoing tension between Jade Cargill and Naomi.

Also, Randy Orton is scheduled to appear and continue his spat with his Mania opponent Kevin Owens.

With an 8:00 PM GMT start time and live streaming on Netflix, UK fans have an exciting night of WWE action ahead.
