This week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown will serve as the fallout show from the May 24 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event. The fallout show is set to air from Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Similar to the episode of WWE Raw, the promotion will feature developments from SNME and will continue developments towards Money in the Bank 2025. WWE has announced multiple matches and segments for this week’s show. The promotion has also announced the fifth qualifier match for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Andrade, Jacob Fatu, and Carmelo Hayes are set to lock horns in Knoxville to secure the fifth spot. Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, and Seth Rollins have qualified for the match and are awaiting the remaining two participants for the match on June.

Bianca Belair is also set to make her return following WrestleMania 41, where she not only suffered her first defeat in the triple-threat match for the Women’s World Championship but also injured her finger. Belair aired in a vignette last week where she detailed how the past six months had been the most challenging of her career, and cheered to a new beginning, promising that her best was yet to come. Alexa Bliss, Roxanne Perez, Rhea Ripley, and Giulia have confirmed their spot in the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match at the namesake PLE next month. However, there are still two spots left in the match; the fifth spot will be decided on this week’s show as Jade Cargill, Nia Jax, and Naomi are set to battle in a triple-threat match to qualify for the ladder match.

Candice LeRae made her return to help Tomasso Ciampa defeat Chris Sabin in a single match, while the team of Michin and B-Fab defeated The Secret Hervice (Alba Fyre & Piper Niven). The promotion also announced that Zelina Vega will defend the Women’s United States title against Chelsea Green tomorrow at SNME. JC Mateo and Jacob Fatu defeated the team of Rey Fenix & Jimmy Us,o while LA Knight defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and Aleister Black to qualify for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. The main event tag title clash where Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) defended the WWE Tag Team titles against Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom) ended in disqualification as chaos ensued after DIY (Tomasso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano) accompanied by Candice LeRae tried to interfere but were thwarted by Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin).

The lights suddenly went out during the brawl between the four teams. When they came back on, the Wyatt Sicks (Uncle Howdy, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross & Joe Gacy) had made their eerie arrival on SmackDown on the birthday of the late great Bray Wyatt, taking out everyone to conclude the show as they paid tribute to Wyatt. During the 05/23 episode of SmackDown, the promotion announced multiple matches and segments for next week’s show, which will serve as the fallout episode from Saturday Night’s Main Event. The May 30 episode of SmackDown will air from the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee.
