Preview & Predictions for WWE SmackDown:

On tap for today's episode, John Cena will make another one of his appearances as he hypes up his match against Randy Orton for WWE Backlash on Saturday. If he's truly only going to appear around 20-something dates this year, those are being eaten up very quickly, and it's going to reach a point where he's going to have to sit out a while. Whether or not anything happens here that makes it necessary remains to be seen, but more than likely, the match has already sold itself. Nevertheless, the promo should be good, and they might end up brawling.

Jade Cargill will face Nia Jax to determine who is the next in line to challenge Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women's Championship. So far, it has yet to be confirmed when that title match would take place, but Backlash is too soon. More than likely, it will be Saturday Night's Main Event. Don't be too surprised if either of them win, or if Naomi gets involved and it leads to an announcement of a Fatal 4-Way for the title instead. This could really go in any of three directions. If Jax wins, it will be due to interference from Naomi. If Cargill wins, she'll do it clean.

LA Knight and Damian Priest will team up against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. Watch out for Sikoa to take the pinfall loss so two of Fatu's challengers for Backlash look strong. Also, keep an eye out for Drew McIntyre sticking his nose into this business, as he's the other party fighting for the United States Championship on Saturday.

Here are your results for WWE SmackDown - May 9, 2025:

  • Damian Priest & LA Knight defeated Jacob Fatu & Solo Sikoa by pinfall. Drew McIntyre then attacked and stood tall with the United States Championship belt.
  • Zelina Vega & TBA vs Chelsea Green & Piper Niven (with Alba Fyre)
  • Promo: Charlotte Flair
