WWE SmackDown (July 4, 2025) Quick Highlights: List of All Winners, Top Performers, and More

The July 4th edition of SmackDown was an eventful night with seeds being sown for the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event and SummerSlam PLE in August. The PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh saw a couple of tag team bouts, with no matches being advertised beforehand.

However, the show was taped following the June 30th RAW and returned to its two-hour format. Let’s have a look at the biggest winners along with the results from this week’s show.

Jacob Fatu and Jimmy Uso vs. Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo

The biggest winner from this week’s SmackDown has to be Solo Sikoa and his brigade of ‘new’ family members. Meanwhile, Fatu teamed up with former archnemesis Jimmy Uso to take on Sikoa and Mateo in the main event. ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ has been a great baby face till now, and while the majority of the in-ring action was attributed to Uso and Mateo, the crowd was pretty excited when Fatu and Sikoa finally faced off.

Although Fatu secured the victory with his trademark moonsault but he was then attacked by Tanga Loa and Sikoa’s latest ally, Tata Tonga. This resulted in Fatu being put through the table, courtesy of a triple powerbomb.

The Opening Segment Between Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Drew McIntyre

Orton and Rhodes talked about their clash from Night of Champions and were interrupted by a returning McIntyre, who accused Rhodes of using his mentor to his advantage and punching his way to SummerSlam for a shot against John Cena.

Orton quickly responded with an RKO but left the arena with a cold stare at Rhodes, sowing seeds for a future match.

Backstage, McIntyre got his wish of facing Orton at SNME in Atlanta. The segment’s biggest winner was McIntyre, as he successfully got what he wanted and also planted the signs for two of the biggest babyfaces turning on each other.

Action-Packed Tag Match Between Rey Fenix & Andrade vs. Fraxiom

Up next was a tag team match featuring Rey Fenix and Andrade against Axiom and Nathan Frazer.

The four participants were on fire and didn’t let the action slow down even a bit. The match was packed with fast-paced sequences, high-flying moves, and crisp execution. Axiom and Frazer (aka Fraxiom) put up a strong fight, but in the end, it was Fenix and Andrade who came out on top. Overall, it was a great shining point for all four participants.

#1 Contender’s Triple Threat Tag Match for the Women’s Tag Titles

A thrilling triple-threat tag team match saw Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair team up to face B-Fab & Michin and Piper Niven & Alba Fyre.

The stakes were clearly high as it was put together to decide who would punch their ticket to Evolution for the Women’s Tag Team titles. Bliss, Michin, and Niven started the match, but Flair quickly tagged in.

The overall match did not slow down and ended with Bliss hitting the Twisted Bliss to pick up the win. It ended with Flair awkwardly hugging Bliss and further built upon the ‘frenemies’ angle between the former champions.

The Wyatt Sicks vs. Berto, Chris Sabin, Montez Ford, and Johnny Gargano

Nick Aldis put Berto, Chris Sabin, Johnny Gargano, and Montez Ford together to face The Wyatt Sicks in an eight-man tag match. Despite each member having some or the other segments with the stable, the team lacked chemistry. The Wyatts dominated most of the bout. The baby faces had brief flashes of offense, but the Wyatts controlled the pace. Gargano refused a tag, leading to Sabin taking the pinfall against Rowan. The match had its moments, but with limited time, only a couple of performers stood out.

Other segments included Tiffany Stratton choosing Trish Stratus to defend her WWE Women’s title at Evolution 2. Meanwhile, Jade Cargill will face Naomi at the same event. All of this is setting up a future bout between Cargill and Stratton at SummerSlam.
