WWE Smackdown: UK special start time, live stream and confirmed match card tonight
Jade Cargill makes her long-awaited return to the ring on WWE Smackdown this Friday.
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.
In addition to Cargill's return to the ring, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and CM Punk will be in the same building at the same time.
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 on Friday?

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

WWE's 'The Miz' suggests Chiefs star for American Gladiators, talks Browns fandom
WWE's 'The Miz' suggests Chiefs star for American Gladiators, talks Browns fandom This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin about his participation in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 9-13 at Edgewood Tahoe, his earliest memory of the Cleveland Browns fandom, and hosting the upcoming American Gladiators reboot while name dropping Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce as an ideal Gladiator. The Kelce brothers are confirmed to be Miz's competition again this year, as he will seek a better finish than last year's tournament. Miz is an Ohio native and a die-hard Browns fan, having witnessed the franchise's ups and downs. Cleveland's last divisional round postseason appearance was against Kansas City in 2020, when they lost at Arrowhead Stadium 17-22. He recalled his earliest memory of the team as a child attending school, singing about their quarterback, Bernie Kosar. "I believe I was in, like, fifth grade, and I was going to school in the bus, and we were just singing, Bernie, Bernie, oh baby Super Bowl," said Miz, "So, yeah, I remember that verbatim, and I also remember us not making it to the Super Bowl. I believe that year was either the fumble or the drive. I'm not sure which one, but those are the two things that really screwed us." The former WWE champion was recently named host of the upcoming reboot of American Gladiators on Prime Video. "I can't wait. I think, with this show, we're gonna, you know, give a nod to what, what American Gladiators was in the past, and elevate it and put it, you know, with 100% and go literally, ball to the wall, if you will." said Miz, "I mean, American Gladiators is a staple, and now to be the host of American Gladiators. It's an absolute honor, and I take it very, very seriously. I want to make sure that this show is everything people imagine it to be and more, and it will be. I can't wait for people to meet the Gladiators. I can't wait for people to see the events, and I can't wait for people to see me as the host." During a recent appearance on NFL Network's Good Morning Football, Miz suggested that Chiefs star Travis Kelce would make a great addition to the show as a Gladiator. "I'm gonna go with two tight ends. I'm gonna go, George Kittle, I'm gonna go with Travis Kelce, because of personality," said Miz during the broadcast, "A Gladiator has to have a great personality, and got to be out there, not only do that be physically dominating but they got to be someone, either you're root for, or you're gonna boo kind of like a WWE superstar." The annual tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which the celebrity players donate to local and national charities. Over the years, nearly $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes. Network television exposure on NBC, along with a first-place prize of $150,000, makes the celebrity tournament one of the most prestigious in the golf world.
