WWE SmackDown is going to be jaw dropping this week, as fans are anticipating the mystery opponent for LA Knight in the "Last Time Is Now" Tournament as well as how Chelsea Green will kickstart her second U.S. Title reign after dethroning Giulia last week. Ilja Dragunov's U.S. Title Open Challenges will likely resume this week. More importantly, there will be speculation about whether Drew McIntyre will hijack the show after being unceremoniously suspended by Nick Aldis last week. WWE is on the road to Survivor Series, where War Games Matches for both divisions will take place.
According to Wrestling Observer, Team Punk vs. Team Rollins and Team AJ Lee vs. Team Becky Lynch are still planned to take place at that event. Somehow, WWE found a way to include SmackDown superstars like Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, and Lash Legend, even though they never belonged in the storyline. This week on SmackDown, three matches have been officially scheduled: LA Knight vs. Mystery Opponent, Jade Cargill vs. B-Fab (w/Mia Yim), and Jey Uso vs. The Miz. Without further ado, here are the official SmackDown Predictions for November 14, 2025.
LA Knight vs. Mystery Opponent [Last Time Is Now Tournament]
LA Knight was subjected to his promo getting cut off on Raw when he was calling out John Cena to promote this tournament. This was quite unprofessional and petty of WWE to do, and the booking of him recently substantiates this speculation that Knight may have backstage heat. It also looks like he is going to lose in the first round of this tournament because he is battling a mystery opponent. A mystery opponent usually has a high chance of winning, especially when WWE keeps it a secret. Since Knight has TNA History with the Hardy Boyz, Jeff Hardy would be a good guess to win this.
Prediction: Jeff Hardy
Jade Cargill vs. B-Fab (w/Mia Yim) [Non-Title Match]
Jade Cargill will squash B-Fab because WWE is finding a way to micmic Cargill's AEW TBS Title run by having her defeat jobbers who are not even threats to her title reign. B-Fab does not have nearly as much as credibility and momentum as Cargill. If Cargill can deliver a one-sided beatdown to the more credible Tiffany Stratton, imagine how quickly she will defeat B-Fab, who hasn't won a match since 2024? When this match ends in 10 seconds, Mia Yim will attack Cargill after the match to save her friend, B-Fab, which should set up a match between Yim and Cargill on a future episode.
Prediction: Jade Cargill
Jey Uso vs. The Miz [Last Time Is Now Tournament]
The Miz had his first and only WrestleMania Main Event with John Cena at Mania 27, where he defeated Cena to retain the WWE Title. Although The Miz has some profound history with John Cena, Jey Uso can't lose in the first round when he is a big component of the War Games Main Event at Survivor Series this year. To protect Miz, Carmelo Hayes will screw The Miz to continue their ongoing feud. Jey Uso won't win the entire tournament, as he is not the right choice to retire Cena, but he will make it far enough to maintain his momentum and credibility at the top of the card. Yeet!
Prediction: Jey Uso
