The February 7th, 2025 edition of WWE SmackDown marks the first Blue brand show after one of the biggest WWE PLEs in recent memory, WWE Royal Rumble 2025. On the show, we have both Rumble winners turning up on Friday night. Plus, we deal with the fallout from the rest of the Premium Live Event. Without further ado, here are the full WWE SmackDown results for this week. Let’s run it down.
WWE SmackDown Results (2/7/25):
Joe Tessitore runs down the card. He announced that there will be an Elimination Chamber qualifier match between Jimmy Uso, Drew McIntyre, and LA Knight tonight. Plus, Charlotte Flair is in the building to maybe announce who she’ll face at WrestleMania 41. We recap the events of WWE Royal Rumble 2025. It was one of the biggest ever, serving as WWE’s biggest gate to date.
YEET UP Friday Nights!
Men’s WWE Royal Rumble 2025 winner “Main Event” Jey Uso officially kicks off the show, making his way through the WWE Universe. As expected, it was an amazing reception for the man who last eliminated, the “Greatest of All-Time”, John Cena, and the one who will call his shot at the main event of WrestleMania 41.
Uso invites the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes to the ring, ready to talk about the potential main event between the two at ‘Mania. Rhodes told Jey that he was proud of him, reliving their time as Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. However, the “American Nightmare” quickly got down to business, stating that he would give it his all if Uso chose him for the main event April bout.
After a handshake, Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga would enter the proceedings. Fatu would make it clear that “his family” wants to bring back home the Undisputed WWE Title, and he felt like Jey Uso is not the man for it. Jey Uso would take exception to this and hit Tonga with a Superkick before he could carry out his attack.
Decisions, decisions, decisions…

Fatu would offer his own Superkick to Jey, with Cody running in for assistance in taking out Jacob. The former tag champs would come out on top to fight off the former Bloodline henchmen. It was made official that Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso will take on Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga in the main event of the night.
Bianca Belair vs. Piper Niven
The two powerhouses will start the action in a Women’s Elimination Chamber qualifying match. It was dead even throughout the match, with Piper Niven even coming close to winning a devastating Vader Bomb.
That said, Bianca Belair was too much to handle and hoisted up Niven for an impactful KOD, joining Liv Morgan in the Chamber match to crown a number-one contender for either the WWE Women’s or World Women’s Championship.
Carmelo Hayes was once again in Nick Aldis’ office, and he will face the man he took out at the Royal Rumble, WWE Raw superstar Akira Tozawa.
#DIY Speaks
After their controversial win against the Motor City Machine Guns to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa speak to the WWE Universe. Gargano and Ciampa would flaunt their win and ask for a moment of silence to commemorate their reign as champs.
The silence did not last long as Pretty Deadly made their way to the ramp. Elton Prince and Kit Wilson stated that they felt like they had earned a shot at the gold after being the proxy punching bags of #DIY. Of course, Johnny and Tommaso begged to differ. Fortunately, Nick Aldis would make his presence felt, announcing that a non-title match would commence then and there.
If Pretty Deadly wins, they will get a future WWE Tag Team Title match. With #DIY in their street clothes, Pretty Deadly came out of the gates hot and took it to the champs. To #DIY’s credit, they took the action to Wilson and Prince.
The match concluded when Ciampa rolled up Elton Prince in an O’Connor Roll and held onto the ropes. Prince would reverse it to a roll of his own, holding onto the bottom rope even tighter to secure their title match.
LA Knight vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Jimmy Uso
The anticipated Men’s Elimination Chamber qualifying match between three of the biggest stars in WWE today. Before the match, Drew McIntyre stuck it to “Raw Drew McIntyre,” announcing he’s back on Friday nights. He spoke about his blowup after the Royal Rumble, blaming Adam Pierce and the WWE Raw environment for his constant anger issues.
He also thanked UK contemporary Nick Aldis for bringing him to WWE SmackDown, and he made it explicitly clear he’s gunning for Cody Rhodes and the Undisputed WWE Championship. Jimmy Uso would cut his speech short, saying that if McIntyre wants a shot at anything, he needs to earn it.
“You sound like an ex-girlfriend.”

Jimmy Uso would tie it all together, saying that he’s ready to stand alongside his brother in one of the main events of WrestleMania. LA Knight would interject and make his feelings felt; he’s not happy with Jimmy Uso after all that happened with The Bloodline the past few years. He also fired up on McIntyre, pointing out that Drew cries at every minor infraction, and he’s sick of it.
LA Knight also claimed that he’ll be the one to go to Toronto for the Men’s Elimination Chamber as the match officially commences.
After a fierce rumble between the three that absolutely delighted the WWE Universe, the man on the mission, Drew McIntyre, came out of the match to qualify for the Men’s Chamber, hitting LA Knight with the Claymore and pinning him as he was setting up Jimmy Uso for the BFT.
Backstage, Byron Saxton caught up with Damian Priest. Before the interview could proceed, Braun Strowman would interrupt, asking if Priest was ready for their Men’s Elimination Chamber Triple Threat Match with Jacob Fatu. Priest was not fazed, looking forward to winning the match next week.
Kevin Owens Speaks
The “Prized Fighter” talks to the WWE Universe after his devastating assault on his former best friend Sami Zayn on last week’s WWE Raw. Owens talked about how Zayn did not understand him or the pain he was going through when he thought he would. Kevin Owens claimed that Sami Zayn stood there while Cody Rhodes tried to end his career.
K.O. also pointed out that Zayn rushed to the aid of Roman Reigns during the Men’s WWE Royal Rumble 2025 match, and he’s going to make him pay for being a “bad friend.”
Akira Tozawa vs. Carmelo Hayes
Akira Tozawa makes his way to the ring, ready to exact his revenge against Carmelo Hayes. The former NXT Champion talked smack before the match, leading Tozawa to deliver a Dropkick to take him off the apron. Akira Tozawa was not playing around on this one, going on the offensive as the bell rang to start the match officially.
The match was not a walk in the park; Tozawa brought Hayes all he could handle. But with a Nothing But Net Guillotine Leg Drop, Hayes was back to his winning ways.
Backstage, R-Truth congratulated Jey Uso for “winning King of the Ring” until Jey corrected him. Cody Rhodes was also backstage, gauging what Jey Uso wants to do at WrestleMania 41. Jey Uso would say that he was still “undecided.”
Charlotte Flair Addresses the WWE Universe
The 2025 Women’s Rumble winner made it explicitly clear right off the bat that she doesn’t care whether the WWE Universe loves her or not. Flair said that she’s only here to pick the champion she faces at WrestleMania 41, and before making a choice, she wants to scout the competition, much like she did with Giulia in NXT and Rhea Ripley on Raw. Not long after, WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton.
Tiffy voiced out her desire to face Charlotte at ‘Mania, no longer wanting to be compared to her and wanting to be the “First Tiffany Stratton” rather than the “next Charlotte Flair.”

Before they could go further, Nia Jax interrupted, delivering the message that Nick Aldis has granted her a rematch for the WWE Women’s Title next week and that Flair should sit back and watch before she calls her shot, as she could be facing Nia for the gold at the “Showcase of the Immortals.”
Alexa Bliss’ music would hit, ready for her Chamber qualifying match against Candice LeRae.
Alexa Bliss vs. Candice LeRae
After two years away, Alexa Bliss finds herself on the cusp of securing a number one contender’s match for a shot at a championship at WrestleMania 41. Of course, it won’t be easy as Candice LeRae looks to make her mark. Bliss had to shake off the ring rust, with LeRae just bullying her in the ring. WWE SmackDown results continues after the break.

Alexa Bliss would soon rediscover who she was, blasting into offensive move after offensive move. Finally, Bliss caught LeRae with an Abigail DDT for the pin. Bliss joins two qualifiers in the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match.
Jey Uso & Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga
To finish up the WWE SmackDown results for this week, next up is the main event of the evening; a tag team match between Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes taking on Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga. This was an outright brawl from the onset. There were no lockups or submission attempts; it was a straight-up war from bell to bell.
At some points, Fatu and Tonga were overwhelming Rhodes and Uso. But the two friends managed to get the win. With a Suicide Dive from Jey Uso to Jacob Fatu on the outside, Cody Rhodes managed to hit Cross Rhodes on Tama Tonga for the pin. Before the duo could celebrate any further, Solo Sikoa would make his presence felt to conclude this week’s SmackDown.
That concludes WWE SmackDown results for February 7th, 2025.
That’s all for the WWE SmackDown results for February 7th, 2025. What did you think of the show?
