Preview & Predictions for WWE SmackDown:

On tap for today's episode, this is very much like Monday Night Raw where WWE is just banking on everyone wanting to see the follow-up of SummerSlam rather than promoting specific things for this show in advance. Essentially, "don't you want to hear about Brock Lesnar appearing and attacking John Cena? Oh, and I guess there's some other stuff for the rest of those two hours. But Cody Rhodes will be there!"

As such, Cena's opening the show with a promo, so there goes for the first 20 minutes of the program. Maybe The Beast Incarnate shows up (despite all the allegations) and maybe he doesn't. I'd assume The American Nightmare's promo will start to move him onto a different feud for the Undisputed WWE Championship and not be related, but there may even be more crossover between Rhodes, Cena, and Lesnar tonight, too.

The Motor City Machine Guns are advertised to be facing Talla Tonga and JC Mateo. My bet is on the MFTs coming out on top, as Tonga has been protected lately and alongside Mateo, they're the two bigger guys.

I'd anticipate that we're going to see more with Giulia and Kiana James following Giulia's retention of the Women's United States Championship, as well as more with the feud between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre. It's also strange that Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill haven'et been announced for anything, but then again, their feud leading into SummerSlam and the way that match went down all seemed to be swept under the rug, so maybe WWE really has had nothing for them in mind for 2 months and that might continue again tonight.

All that and more will go down tonight, so keep checking and refreshing for the most up-to-date results!

Here are your results for WWE SmackDown - August 8, 2025:

  • John Cena opened the show with a promo about how he's afraid that the WWE Universe will forget about him, and he doesn't want to let everyone down. He's also afraid of Brock Lesnar, but if Lesnar is asking for a fight, he's not going to back down. Logan Paul interrupted and opened up an opportunity for Drew McIntyre to attack Cena from behind. Cody Rhodes made the save and we've got a tag team match booked for later.
  • MFT (Talla Tonga and JC Mateo) defeated The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) by pinfall. After the match, Solo Sikoa cut a promo on the audience and not wanting to wrestle there. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis interrupted to introduce Sami Zayn.
  • Sami Zayn defeated Solo Sikoa by pinfall.
  • TBD - John Cena & Cody Rhodes vs Logan Paul & Drew McIntyre
