WWE SmackDown preview (Feb. 21, 2025): The Rock says he’s back in WWE to ‘f*** up a certain someone’s life’ – Cageside Seats
Filed under:Let’s figure out whose life is about to be ruined by the Final Boss now that he’s back in WWE.SmackDown airs tonight (Feb. 21) with a live show emanating from Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. This is the third episode of SmackDown during the four week build towards Elimination Chamber, which takes place on March 1. The Rock is finally back on SmackDown tonight, and he gave some insight on social media as to what he has in store for WWE fans.“The Final Boss is coming to handle business, deliver a big beautiful gift to the city of New Orleans and fuck up a certain someone’s life with the Final Boss gospel. #smackdown”The “big beautiful gift to the city of New Orleans” is easy enough to predict, considering there’s a rumor that WWE will soon announce that’s where WrestleMania 42 is being held in 2026. But it sounds like The Rock plans to do more than just make an announcement about WrestleMania.Whose life is the Final Boss about to fuck up? He can pretty much do whatever he wants, so if The Rock wants to disrupt WWE’s plans in order to fight Roman Reigns or WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, that can absolutely happen.Then again, maybe The Rock is back to take away Jey Uso’s spot in the WrestleMania world title match, or add himself to the men’s Elimination Chamber. Sure, it’s not fair, but The Final Boss wipes a monkey’s ass with what’s fair. As far as The Bloodline is concerned, perhaps Dwayne isn’t too happy with all of the tension between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa right now. Whose side is he on if he plans to fuck up one of their lives?Does The Rock actually want to fuck up John Cena’s retirement tour and go thrice in a lifetime with John at WrestleMania 41? What about stealing yet another WrestleMania main event away from CM Punk just because it’s a really fun thing to do?If The Rock doesn’t intend to get physically involved at WrestleMania 41, then maybe he just means that it’s time to lay the smack down on some random mid card jabroni tonight. Carmelo Hayes and The Miz are a couple of names that come to mind.Make sure to tune into SmackDown tonight to find out who The Final Boss has in his crosshairs when he returns to WWE.Cody Rhodes, Damian Priest & Braun Strowman vs. Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga is booked for tonight in six-man tag team action. Can Fatu and Sikoa co-exist without any issues, or is the new Bloodline about to implode at the hands of these babyfaces?WWE Tag Team Champions Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano are scheduled to defend the gold against Pretty Deadly. Elton Prince and Kit Wilson are massive underdogs despite their recent fluke win over the champs. Will the Street Profits or Motor City Machine Guns show up to affect the outcome of this match?Naomi vs. Liv Morgan is also booked for tonight. Naomi thinks Liv is trying to frame her for the mystery attack on Jade Cargill, so she won’t hesitate to unleash hell on her. Who will get momentum on their side ahead of next Monday’s WWE women’s tag team championship match?Finally, Drew McIntyre gets to beat the shit out of another member of the OG Bloodline when he goes one-on-one with Jimmy Uso. It doesn’t really matter if McIntyre can’t tell which Uso is standing across from him in the ring tonight; Big Jim doesn’t stand much of a chance as Drew tunes up for Elimination Chamber.- Charlotte Flair is challenging Tiffany Stratton for the WWE women’s championship at WrestleMania 41. Flair made sure to wait until Stratton was laid out on the mat before making her WrestleMania decision last week. Will The Queen have anything new to say to Tiffany if they cross paths face-to-face tonight?- Speaking of Tiffy Time, she’s joining forces with WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus for a tag team match against Nia Jax and Candice LeRae at Elimination Chamber. Will Flair get involved in their business to give the heels an advantage?- LA Knight is once again coming after United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. Will a date for their title match be made official during tonight’s broadcast?- How will Kevin Owens react after Sami Zayn foolishly accepted his challenge for Elimination Chamber despite not being medically cleared? Will KO stay in his car during the show, or does he plan to dish out more pain in the ring?- Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green failed to qualify for Elimination Chamber last week. Does that mean her schedule is free for another championship rematch against Michin?- It looks like the Wyatt Sicks have taken an interest in Alexa Bliss. The Wyatts never show up on TV, though, so it might be all for nothing. – Could Aleister Black or Rusev make a surprise return to WWE tonight now that they are finally gone from AEW?- Where the f*** is Randy Orton? Is it his turn to trash the McDonald’s Shamrock Shake?What will you be looking for on SmackDown?Check your inbox for a welcome email.Oops. Something went wrong.
