WWE SmackDown Predictions are here for February 27, 2026, and Seth Rollins will save Becky Lynch from AJ Lee on the road to Mania. WWE is currently on the go-home show for Elimination Chamber, which is the last pit stop before Mania 42. Four matches have already been scheduled for the PLE this Saturday, but Drew McIntyre (c) vs. Jacob Fatu for the WWE Title could be added.
This week on SmackDown, four matches have been officially scheduled: Uncle Howdy vs. Solo Sikoa in a Personal Rivalry, Jordynne Grace vs. Candice LeRae in an Exhibition Match, Oba Femi vs. The Miz in an Exhibition Match, and Rhiyo (c) vs. Nia Jax & Lash Legend for the Women’s Tag Titles. Without further ado, here are the official SmackDown Predictions for Feb 27, 2026.
Uncle Howdy vs. Solo Sikoa
Since Solo Sikoa failed to qualify for the Elimination Chamber, he decided to cause more chaos with The Bloodline. They heinously attacked Carmelo Hayes, Ilja Dragunov, Shinsuke Nakamura, Apollo Crews, and Matt Cardona in the past few weeks. However, Uncle Howdy still has unfinished business with Sikoa and wants revenge after Sikoa stole his brother’s lantern and his family’s tag titles.
Prediction: Uncle Howdy
Jordynne Grace vs. Candice LeRae
This match was made official after Jordynne Grace called out Johnny Gargano for being a “weird husband” after lying down on the WWE Box in a depressive move. Grace needs to regain momentum after losing her title match to Jade Cargill, so they are feeding Candice LeRae to the indomitable force. LeRae has not competed in a match in a while, and she is already in for a rude awakening.
Prediction: Jordynne Grace
Oba Femi vs. The Miz
Even though he has been kicked out of the locker room in the past, The Miz ironically wanted to take Oba Femi under his wing as the “locker room leader” after seeing how dominant he has been lately. Miz pulled the same trick with Carmelo Hayes, whom he betrayed instead of targeting the tag titles as Melo Don’t Miz. Thankfully, Femi knows Miz can’t be trusted and knows he does not need him.
Prediction: Oba Femi
Rhiyo (Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky) (c) vs. The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax & Lash Legend) – WWE Women’s Tag Team Title Match
Rhiyo already retained the titles as fighting champs against Judgment Day and Giulia & Kiana. However, Nia Jax and Lash Legend are the biggest threats to the titles. Rhea Ripley is already in the chamber, so she does not need the tag title. Booking Jax and Legend to win will not only solidify their dominance but also bring about heel champs for the Bella Twins to chase on the road to Mania.
Prediction: Nia Jax & Lash Legend
