Next Friday night's episode of WWE SmackDown (airing February 14, 2025 at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.) is set to feature the final Elimination Chamber qualifying matches, as well as a tag team bout and a singles match for the WWE Women's Championship.
By this point next week, Monday Night Raw will have settled who qualifies for Elimination Chamber between Logan Paul and Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins and Finn Balor, Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, and Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. Only two spots will remain, so SmackDown will fill those voids.
On the women's side, it will be one half of the women's tag team champions Naomi going up against the Women's United States champion Chelsea Green, who is hoping her bodyguard Piper Niven will beef up their security detail, as not only is Michin still looking for a rematch, B-Fab is mad at her for eliminating her in the Royal Rumble, but Zelina Vega is eager to start her transition to SmackDown with a title win.
For the men's qualifier, there will be another Triple Threat match featuring Braun Strowman vs. Jacob Fatu vs. Damian Priest in what is sure to be a clash of titans.
Tiffany Stratton will be defending the WWE Women's Championship against Nia Jax—the woman she won the championship from after cashing in her Money in the Bank contract and ruining their partnership.
This will be likely the last chance anyone has to dethrone Stratton prior to WrestleMania, so retaining the title here would cement Stratton is one of Charlotte Flair's options to challenge after winning the Royal Rumble match.
There will also be a tag team match between The Motor City Machine Guns and Los Garza of Legado del Fantasma, as the two teams are upset with each other over their eight-man tag team match last week and with tension running high in the blue brand's tag team division.
To recap, here is your card as advertised right now for next week's episode of WWE SmackDown:
- WWE Women’s Championship Match: Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Nia Jax
- Women’s Elimination Chamber Match Qualifier: Chelsea Green vs. Naomi
- Triple Threat Men’s Elimination Chamber Match Qualifier: Damian Priest vs. Jacob Fatu vs. Braun Strowman
- Tag Team Match: The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Legado del Fantasma
