WWE SmackDown is live tonight from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah! Tonight, Roman Reigns and The Rock return to SmackDown to address the WrestleMania XL main event. Let’s take a look at everything announced for tonight’s episode of SmackDown:
WWE SmackDown card: February 16, 2024
Naomi vs. Alba Fyre (Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match)
WWE’s official preview:
With an unfortunate injury to Shotzi, the Elimination Chamber Qualifying Matches got a bit of a switch up and Naomi will contend with Alba Fyre.
Naomi looks to mark her first singles match since her return at the Royal Rumble on a winning note, but the dangerous Fyre will prove a formidable opponent.
Who will punch her ticket to Perth to compete in the Elimination Chamber Match?
Kevin Owens vs. “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio (Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match)
WWE’s official preview:
Next Friday, Kevin Owens will battle “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio in a high-stakes Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match.
Mysterio has never competed inside the deadly structure, while Owens has entered the chamber once.
Who will secure their position for a chance to battle for the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania?
Zelina Vega vs. Tiffany Stratton (Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match)
WWE’s official preview:
Zelina Vega is set to square off against Tiffany Stratton to see who will earn the right to compete in the Women’s World Title No. 1 Contender Elimination Chamber Match in Perth, Western Australia.
Since signing with SmackDown, The Center of the Universe has not made any allies, but she did impress with her debut win over Michin. In her way now stands The LWO’s Zelina Vega, a formidable force in her own right who is determined to enter the career-altering structure.
Will Stratton continue to win on the blue brand, or will the explosive Vega rise above to secure her place in the Chamber?
Logan Paul vs. The Miz (Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match)
WWE’s official preview:
The Miz and United States Champion Logan Paul will battle in an Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match with the winner earning an opportunity to compete in the chamber.
After Cody Rhodes chose to challenge Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL, it left Seth “Freakin” Rollins without a challenger, prompting Triple H to announce 12 Superstars who will compete in qualifying matches with the winners facing off inside the Elimination Chamber for the right to challenge Rollins.
Will The Maverick be on track to become a double champion, or will The Miz punch his ticket to the Elimination Chamber?
The Rock and Roman Reigns return to SmackDown
WWE’s official preview:
The fireworks will arrive as The Rock and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns both return to SmackDown.
The two, alongside Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins, combined for a jaw-dropping WrestleMania XL Kickoff this past Thursday, where The Rock slapped Rhodes.
With the main event now seemingly set after the 2024 Royal Rumble winner declared he would challenge Reigns, where does this leave The Rock, who had also wished to face The Head of the Table at The Grandest Stage of Them All?
What do The Rock and Reigns have in store when they both return to SmackDown?
