SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, July 4th 2025: Tiffany Stratton to choose her WWE Evolution challenger

[Tommy MBE]

I liked the opening segment. Drew testing Cody and Ortons loyalty and it backfired

Nice W for the Wyatt sicks

Sexy Trish back on tv man she looks great for 48. Sexier than most of the women’s roster

Naomi is getting better each week

OH SHIT TRISH STRATUS!

Not getting the complaints from some.

Trish is the complete opposite of a legend coming in that can't go and buries talent.

Another decent show this week/ I’m looking forward to Jacob beating them all up till he gets Solo in HIAC . I think this is where Roman will come back and save fatu with lance ano’i . Leading to a war games Roman, Fatu, Jimmy ? Jey and lance or Sami as fifth man
Solo. Hikeleo , JC, tama and Tanga for war games 20)

a fine show. i kind of hate that drew just shows up to be made to look like a chump again. wyatt sicks were awesome. kind of a mid main event, not sure why solo is eating a pin

This was a new all-time low for a non-preemption Smackdown in terms of total viewership. Fourth of July has been a day of record lows in the past. Smackdown episodes preempted on FS1 in recent years have had smaller audiences. The Dec. 29, 2023 episode of Smackdown on Fox, which aired a “Best of” program rather than all new content, had a lower P18-49 rating (0.28).
