SmackDown March 7 preview: Will Cody Rhodes be stripped of the Undisputed WWE Championship on The Rock's orders? Here's the card

SmackDown March 7 preview:? The latest episode of SmackDown, which will be held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on March 7 (US time), promises to be a star-studded and intense affair. It comes just days after John Cena attacked Cody Rhodes, the reigning Undisputed Champion, on The Rock’s instructions? after winning the Elimination Chamber match and earning the right to challenge the former Stardust for his title at WrestleMania 41.?

The ‘American Nightmare’ is set to appear on the blue brand tonight. One can expect him to spew venom on The Rock and Cena, adding a new layer to their? feud. There is, however, even a possibility of him not even being the champion by the end of the night.?

WWE SmackDown: The Rock to humiliate Cody Rhodes further?

Cody Rhodes humiliated The Rock at Elimination Chamber 2025, refusing to be a ‘corporate champion’ heading into WrestleMania 41. However, in a shocking development, John Cena turned heel for the first time in two decades and assaulted Rhodes on The Great One’s instructions. The master of the Cross Rhodes is now set to address these actions on SmackDown.?

His promo, much like the one delivered by CM Punk on Raw, promises to be a banger. However, The Rock may use his position as ‘The Final Boss’ to make the show an absolute nightmare for his foe.? The TKO board member may force Nick Aldis, the General Manager of SmackDown, to strip the former Intercontinental champion of his title and put in place a tournament to crown a new champion.

If this happens, it will hardly be the first such a thing occurs on WWE programming? . In 2011, Vince McMahon– the then Chairman of the WWE– had stripped CM Punk of the title after he walked out of the company following the? Money in the Bank event. This resulted in a series of twists and turns, culminating in compelling programming.?

One will get a better idea of what the future holds for him tonight.?

Randy Orton to address his feud with Kevin Owens?

The March 7 episode will also feature appearances from Randy Orton and Jade Cargill. Both stars returned to WWE programming at Elimination Chamber? 2025. Orton attacked Kevin Owens for putting him on the shelf last November. Cragill, on the other hand, annihilated Naomi. They are expected to address their actions tonight.?

Additionally, the Women’s US Champion Chelsea Green is set to take? on Michin in a ‘street Fight’ in the expected main event of the show.?
