This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown will continue setting the stage for Elimination Chamber 2025, the final stop before WrestleMania 41 on March 1st.
Announced Matches:
🔹 Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match – Jacob Fatu vs. Braun Strowman vs. Damian Priest
🔹 WWE Women’s Championship Match – Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Nia Jax
🔹 Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match – Chelsea Green vs. Naomi
However, the show will be missing its regular lead announcer, Joe Tessitore, as he will be working an ESPN boxing event the same night. The sports network confirmed that Tessitore will be calling the action for Berinchyk vs. Keyshawn, a live fight taking place at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
With SmackDown being held at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, WWE has yet to announce who will step in as Tessitore’s replacement. However, it is widely expected that Michael Cole will take over for the night.
Stay tuned for more updates as SmackDown continues to build toward Elimination Chamber.
