WWE Universe, we&#8217;re not going to keep you waiting any further. We all know you&#8217;re excited. Here&#8217;s a WWE SmackDown preview for November 14, 2025. Let&#8217;s run it down.<\/p>\n<h2>The Storm&#8217;s First Test<\/h2>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/11\/07\/wwe-smackdown-results-11-7-25-live-updates\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">last week&#8217;s WWE SmackDown<\/a>, Jade Cargill said a few choice words to the WWE Universe after becoming the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/11\/07\/chelsea-green-shockingly-wins-title-on-wwe-smackdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">new dominator of the SmackDown Women&#8217;s Division<\/a>, before dropping the mic in less time than it takes to microwave a hot pocket. But as Corey Graves eloquently put it, it was &#8220;&#8217;nuff said.&#8221; Backstage, someone would ruffle Cargill&#8217;s feathers. As the new WWE Women&#8217;s Champion was entering the Women&#8217;s locker room, he would shout at B-FAB to get out of her way.<\/p>\n<p>B-FAB would tell Michin she doesn&#8217;t like how Jade Cargill conducts herself, and Cargill would hear that, asking B-FAB if she wants to do something about it. A defiant B-FAB just said &#8220;Bet,&#8221; setting up this match for next week. This match against B-FAB is the first time we&#8217;ll see Jade Cargill in action since becoming WWE Women&#8217;s Champion.<\/p>\n<p>Will Jade Cargill further exert her dominance, or will B-FAB pull off the upset against the new champion?<\/p>\n<h2>The Last Time Begins<\/h2>\n<p>The tournament to determine who will face John Cena for his final match on December 13th, 2025, continues this Friday night, as we have The Miz, one of Cena&#8217;s greatest adversaries, taking on the man who eliminated John Cena from the 2025 Royal Rumble and went on to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion, &#8220;Main Event&#8221; Jey Uso.<\/p>\n<p>The Miz, in an interview with Cathy Kelley backstage, spoke briefly about this showdown with Jey, saying that he deserves to be Cena&#8217;s final opponent, and he&#8217;ll make sure to get it in writing on his way to retiring John Cena at WWE Saturday Night&#8217;s Main Event XLII.<\/p>\n<p>On the flipside, the &#8220;Megastar&#8221; LA Knight also has his own first-round matchup on this upcoming SmackDown. Unfortunately, Nick Aldis would not disclose who it was, suggesting it could be someone big, as the SmackDown General Manager had a massive smirk on his face once he drew the random name.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, it&#8217;s time to buckle in, everyone. The Last Time Is Now, and it&#8217;s going to fly by fast if you don&#8217;t keep an eye on it. Join us this Friday night as we see things unfold live, on The USA Network and Netflix!<\/p>\n<h2>WWE SmackDown Preview and Match Card (11\/14\/25):<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_145575\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-145575\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-145575 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/22-5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A graphic for the WWE SmackDown preview for November 14, 2025.\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/22-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/22-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/22-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/22-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/22-5.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-145575\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: WWE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li>John Cena &#8220;The Last Time Is Now&#8221; Tournament &#8211; First Round Match: The Miz vs. &#8220;Main Event&#8221; Jey Uso<\/li>\n<li>John Cena &#8220;The Last Time Is Now&#8221; Tournament &#8211; First Round Match: LA Knight vs. ?<\/li>\n<li>Jade Cargill vs. B-FAB<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i>\u00a0for more on WWE SmackDown preview and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
