WWE Friday Night SmackDown comes waltzing back into our lives tonight (Sept. 5, 2025) with a live show emanating from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois, featuring all the latest build to the upcoming Wrestlepalooza premium live event scheduled for later this month in Indianapolis.
Advertised for tonight: John Cena will be in the building for his final appearance in the Windy City!
So will the Chicago Made man himself, CM Punk. And, hey, maybe a certain someone else could be showing up to help
him in his feud with The Vision’s Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.
Plus, Sami Zayn returns to the blue brand as the new United States champion after winning the title last week, and a whole lot more!
Come right back here at 8 pm ET when the SmackDown live blog kicks off once the show starts on USA Network. It will be below this line here. (Note: Links to illegal streams are prohibited. Pics and GIFs are allowed.)
