The July 4 episode of WWE SmackDown will mark the show’s return to two hours after it became a three hour show back on January 3.
The show was taped following tonight’s Raw show in order to give talent the holiday off, with the show set to air this Friday, July 4.
On the show, a big return took place, which led to a major match being announced for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta next Saturday.

2025 King of the Ring winner Cody Rhodes opened up the show with an in-ring promo segment with fellow finalist Randy Orton following his victory over Orton at Night of Champions.
However, the segment was interrupted by a returning Drew McIntyre, who has not been seen on WWE television since the Saturday Night’s Main Event show on May 24, where he was defeated by Damian Priest in a Steel Cage match.
Drew took time off to mend some injuries that he had been working through, but his return to the ring is set to take place very soon.
On the SmackDown taping, a match between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre was announced for next weekend’s WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event show in Atlanta.
