WWE SMACKDOWN RESULTS – APRIL 25, 2025
“WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.” kicks things off as always. We hear Joe Tessitore welcome us to the show from a sold out Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, TX. We then head into an extended recap package showing all of the highlights from a busy WrestleMania 41 Week in Las Vegas, NV.
Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena & Randy Orton Kick Off This Week’s Show
From there, we settle inside Dickies Arena again, live, where we hear the familiar sounds of John Cena’s iconic entrance tune. The crowd explodes with cheers as the record 17-time WWE Champion makes his way to the ring with his title belt around his waist — backwards.
Cena settles in the ring, poses with his title with a mean mug, before pointing to new WWE ring announcer Mark Shunock. Once again he hands him a piece of paper and forces him to read a more proper introduction for the likes of himself. A loud “Let’s go Cena!” and “Cena sucks!” dueling chant breaks out in the background.
“The Greatest of All-Time, the never-seen-17, gracing Forth Worth, TX. with his presence for the last time… the last great champion, John Cena!” is the less ‘disrespectful’ introduction Shunock is forced to make as Cena poses with his title and his recent trademark sour puss.
John Cena then raises the microphone and begins to speak, but much like he did to Cody Rhodes last week, the theme for his newest rival, Randy Orton, hits. “The Viper” makes his way down to the ring to confront Cena after laying him out with an ‘RKO out of nowhere’ earlier this week at the Raw After Mania show.
Orton asks for a microphone and looks at Cena as the fans chant “Randy”. Cena holds the title belt up and the fans boo him. Orton asks Cena if he knows what he found out. In a couple of months, it will be 25 years to the day since they first shook hands.
Orton tells Cena he has known him for 25 years and he means that as a compliment, Cena never changed. He was always about hustle, loyalty and respect. It was a way of life. He began to think and he realized that there was a void in Cena’s life and he started to think.
Orton says he thought about the fans over the years, the millions and millions of kids who looked up to him since day one. All the days that he motivated and was a role model for, the kids set goals because of him. Track and field, on the court, in the class rooms, generations of kids looked up to Cena.
Surely, that means something to Cena. Orton tells Cena that he granted more wishes than anyone in the history of the Grant a Wish foundation. Orton tells Cena that he knows him too well and Cena can’t tell him that every kid left with a piece of his heart, they were not just a number. And Orton figured out how to fill the void. He tells Cena that Cena needs to have some kids.
Orton asks to imagine little square jawed, thick Cena’s running around. The world would be a better place and he tells Cena to have kids, grow up and be a better human being. Cena tells Orton “How dare you?” He tells Orton that he is parent shaming him and congratulates him for having children and loving them. Cena tells Orton the real reason he doesn’t have kids is because he spent the last 25 years “raising yours.”
Cena says by the sound of everyone tonight, he has done an impeccable job. He says for the last 25 years, he has been a better parent to the kids than the parents could ever be. He looks at a kid in the crowd and tells him that his dad is a loser. The kid flips Cena off and Cena tells him he is very classy.
Cena tells Orton that he has been policing brats for a quarter of a century. He tells the kid never to bring a knife to a gun fight and his dad probably never taught him that. Orton tells him the fans are the reason why he is in Hollywood right now and crushing it. Without WWE, there is no Hollywood and without the fans, there is no WWE.
No matter the math, the fans are the biggest reason why Cena is standing in the ring with him. Orton says he has made a lot of mistakes but he can go in the back, hold his head high and he gets respect. He is a piece of furniture, he is here to stay but Cena is a guest. Cena tells Orton they all have their perspectives.
He used to believe Orton in that without the fans, there is no WWE. That they won together but he was wrong. He never needed a single one of the fans. They will chant “Let’s go Cena, Cena sucks”. And the fans begin chanting that. Cena says imagine being told you suck for 25 years. He says Orton is just like the fans, all hypocrites.
Cena says if the roles are reversed and he put his energy into anything but the WWE, he is an outcast and a guest. This is why this is dysfunctional, why it’s not a functional relationship. They are all manipulating the truth because they have done nothing in their lives.
Cena points to a fan and says all that fan has done is dress like Jack Black. He is 100 years old and that’s all that fan has to say for his life. Cena says he gets criticized and labelled as an outcast for trying to do something different. Orton tells him that Orton was stupid to come out and think that in this weird world, Cena would listen to what he is saying.
He says that before Cody’s music hits, we hear Cody say “Wrestling has more than one royal family”. Cody is not just talking about Cody’s family but his family too. Wrestling has given Orton everything. It will provide for him, his children too. He tells Cena he won’t ruin wrestling and Cena tells him to shut his mouth.
He tells Orton that Orton does not understand. Cena says he already won 17, Orton has won 14 but after Cena takes it home, Orton is forever frozen at 14. There will be another show, other matches, they will create some tin foil Champion and if Orton wins it, Orton’s counter starts at one.
What he is trying to do is that when he leaves, to make sure three generations of Orton’s family is erased. Orton rubs his head and the fans chant “RKO”. Orton tells Cena to prove that he is the last real champion and to put his title on the line right now. Cena raises the belt and says no and just like so many times over the last 25 years, he is doing it to save Orton’s ass.
Cena says there should be a match. Randy Orton against John Cena for the Undisputed Championship but it should not happen here. It should happen at Backlash because Backlash is in St. Louis because Orton is from St. Louis. Cena tells Orton he can spend the whole day with his family, be well rested and at his best because he needs Randy Orton at his best.
Because after Backlash, when Orton fails, Orton will have no excuses. Cena tells Orton to take a good look, this is what the last real Champion looks like. Cena tells Orton that this is as close as Orton will ever get to the Championship. Cena throws the belt at Orton who catches it but Cena with a right hand.
Orton goes down and Cena begins kicking him. Cena grabs the belt, Orton gets up, Cena swings, Orton ducks and Orton hits him with an RKO! The fans chant “Randy” as he grabs the Undisputed title and raises it in the air as his music hits to end the very eventful and newsworthy opening segment.

Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill
After the tag-team match wraps up, we see #DIY backstage ahead of their high stakes triple-threat TLC tag-team title tilt later in the show. We then head to another commercial break.
This time when the show returns, we return live inside Dickies Arena to the familiar sounds of, “It’s Tiffy-Time~!” On that note, the crowd roars as the reigning WWE Women’s Champion makes her way to the ring.
Stratton says At WrestleMania, it was Tiffy time. She went toe to toe with one of the greatest of all time, Charlotte Flair. The fans boo and Tiffany says there were times where she doubted herself but in the end, she prevailed and walked out of WrestleMania still champion.
Tiffany says she was told that she’s the next Charlotte Flair but that is wrong. There may be only one Charlotte Flair but there is only one Tiffany Stratton. Jade Cargill’s music hits and out she comes. Jade tells Tiffany to cut it.
Jade came out to give credit where due, her match against Flair was impressive but that did nothing but create a bigger target on her back. And since business is finished with Naomi, she has nothing but time. She thinks it’s time for her to remind everyone why she came to WWE, for everyone to see why she came to be a champion.
And for Tiffany to understand that just because she beat Flair, that does not mean she is the best. Especially since she hasn’t faced her. Stratton tells her to put her money where her mouth is and to get a referee out right now. Out one comes as the show heads into a pre-match commercial time out.

She makes a big statement 112 days after Stratton cashed in her Money In The Bank briefcase to win the title from Jax. The show heads to another commercial break.
Nick Aldis Makes Big Match For Later Tonight
When the show returns, we shoot live inside Dickies Arena where the sold out crowd explodes as the familiar sounds of Jacob Fatu’s theme hits. Out comes the new WWE United States Champion accompanied by Solo Sikoa.
The two settle in the ring and the music dies down. Fans begin a loud “Fatu! Fatu!” chant. Solo Sikoa then begins on the microphone. Solo says that at WrestleMania, everyone saw what he already knew and that is that Jacob Fatu is the future.
He is the future of this company. Solo says that no one wanted Jacob here except for him. They thought he was trouble, too much of a risk but the one who changed that and made it all happen was him. He is the reason that Fatu is the Champion. He is the one that brought him here and took him to the promised land.
He says this is what happens when you love your family. AS Solo continues to speak, Fatu takes the microphone from him. The fans chant “Fatu” and he tells Solo not to get it twisted. He told SOlo that he was going to win the title, he told him that the US title was coming home to the family.
And he told him that he was going to do it with him or without him. Fatu says that is what he did. Fatu tells the fans to look at their new United States Champion. He says he knows that this title makes him America’s most wanted, that it makes him a menace to society.
But at the end of the day, Solo better get in where he fits in because he is all gas, no brakes with it. LA Knight’s music hits and out he comes. He tells them “Let me talk to you” and begins walking down to the ring. He said that at WrestleMania, Fatu ate a BFT but Fatu grabbed the ropes during the pin.
And after that, Fatu was able to beat him. Credit where it is due, it can happen to anyone and anyone can get it. But he walked back and everyone said he had a hell of a match but he is not worried about that. He is worried about winning and taking the belt. He tells Fatu that he wants his rematch and he wants it right now.
We then hear the familiar sounds for “The Scottish Psychopath” and out comes Drew McIntyre. He trades insults with LA Knight and calls out Jacob Fatu for a fight. Nick Aldis ends up coming out and announcing Knight vs. McIntyre for later in the show.

Vega starts off strong, taking it to the champ in her big moment, only for the momentum to shift when the action spills to the floor and the Secret Her-vice members get involved. On that note, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break with Green gloating in the ring while Vega is down on the floor.

The show heads to another commercial break there. We return to see Byron Saxton is with Bianca Belair. Her fingers are wrapped and she says she left WrestleMania with a few broken fingers. Things did not go her way but she is proud of what the three of them did at WrestleMania.
She says IYO found the perfect opportunity to capitalize and she would have done the same. As for Rhea, she found a way to sneak into her match. But now, she is focused on healing and SmackDown is her home, right now, her home is divided. We cut backstage and see Naomi walking.
