WWE Smackdown: UK special start time, live stream and confirmed match card tonight

Roman Reigns, CM Punk and Seth Rollins will all be on Smackdown tonight - (WWE)

Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and CM Punk will be in the same building at the same time on WWE Smackdown tonight.

Tensions have been rising between the trio ever since the Royal Rumble PLE when Punk eliminated both Reigns and Rollins from the match. This led to Rollins attacking both men, including putting his former Shield brother out of action for a few weeks after stomping his head on the steel steps.

However, Reigns made his return to television on the March 10 episode of Raw, costing Punk a victory in the steel cage match with Rollins and then turning his attention to the former who was being consoled by his ‘Wiseman’ Paul Heyman in the ring.

After Reigns’ appearance on Smackdown this week was announced by Heyman, Punk took to social media to say he would be stopping by and Rollins then added his name to the guest list during his segment on Raw on Monday. A triple-threat match at WrestleMania seems the logical path, but will that get confirmed tonight?

In addition, Jade Cargill makes her long-awaited return to the ring.

Cargill, who was sidelined for months after being attacked backstage during an episode of Smackdown back in November, confronted and exposed her former tag team partner Naomi as the culprit at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event (PLE).

After laying out Naomi once again, Cargill had a sit-down interview on Smackdown last week. But she was interrupted by Liv Morgan and ultimately ended up challenging one half of the Women’s tag team champions to a match.

Two other matches have been confirmed as Zelina Vega takes on Piper Niven as she looks to clear an obstacle in an attempt to challenge Chelsea Green for the Women’s United States Championship. Meanwhile, Jacob Fatu is set to go one-on-one with Braun Strowman.

Here’s everything you need to know about the March 21st episode of WWE Smackdown.

WWE Smackdown: Date and start time

WWE Smackdown takes place at a special start time of for UK viewers. This is because the show is being broadcast live from Bologna, Italy as part of WWE’s European tour.

In the UK, coverage is scheduled to start at 7pm GMT on Friday 21, March 2025. This marks a significant change as previously whenever WWE aired shows from Europe in the UK, they’d air on a delay to fit with the United States broadcast times which would have been 1am for the UK audience.

However, that’s all changed with the Netflix deal.

Where to watch WWE Smackdown in the UK

Live stream: In the UK, WWE Smackdown can be watched and streamed live on Netflix.

A standard subscription costs £4.99 a month and it can be cancelled at any time.
