Lilian Garcia welcomes LA Knight to the ring. The fans greet the new United States Champion by chanting his name. “The Megastar” grabs a microphone to address the audience, who respond with chants of “Olé, Olé, Olé.” “YEAH,” exclaims LA Knight before starting his promo. LA Knight reminds everyone that they are making history with the first SmackDown show in Barcelona. “Olé, Olé, Olé,” the fans chant again. LA Knight claims that, despite being the United States Champion, he feels he has world championship-level talent. “You deserve it!” chant the fans. LA Knight recalls that last week he reclaimed the gold to bring it back to where it belongs. Jimmy Uso interrupts the scene.

The Samoan heads to the ring, not to congratulate the champion, but to confess that he feels desperate for not having found a path to WrestleMania. That’s why he directly challenges LA Knight for the title.

Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga appear on the scene. Solo states that there is only one man who deserves a shot at the gold, and that’s Jacob Fatu. Sikoa asks Jimmy to do him a favor and step aside before describing him as the biggest failure of the Samoan family. Jimmy mocks Sikoa, reminding him that he lost the Ula Fala. Furious, Sikoa orders his men to launch an assault.

Braun Strowman appears on the scene to join LA Knight and Jimmy Uso! The three of them take down the heels, who end up ringside. Nick Aldis appears on the entrance ramp to schedule a tag team match right here and now.

We see a video recap of what happened last week, with the reveal of Naomi as Jade Cargill’s attacker and the breakdown of the relationship between “The Glow” and Bianca Belair.

In an interview with Cathy Kelley in an empty arena, Jade Cargill says she feels good and ready for action. Jade is not surprised by what happened with Naomi, pointing out that Naomi was willing to do anything to climb the ranks. Jade recalls being hit from behind and thrown onto a car. After that, she saw Naomi running away. At the time, it hurt that her friend betrayed her, but she knew she had to… Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez interrupt the interview. Jade assures them that if she had been in the title match two weeks ago, the Tag Team Championships wouldn’t be around their waists. Cargill challenges Liv to a match next week. Morgan accepts, as long as Jade isn’t thrown onto a car again in the coming days.

B-Fab delivers a backstage promo as she heads to the ring. B-Fab sends a direct message to Charlotte Flair, reminding her that her goal is to create her own legacy in WWE. And if she has to start by defeating “The Queen,” so be it.

Charlotte refuses to release B-Fab, prompting Tiffany Stratton to storm into the ring. The two women start brawling. A crowd of officials and security personnel rush to the ring to stop them. Flair drags Tiffany out of the ring to continue the fight. The officials intervene again. Stratton escapes them and launches herself at Charlotte. Flair climbs onto the commentary table to dive onto Tiffany. Charlotte is escorted up the entrance ramp, but Stratton leaps onto all of them with a Swanton Bomb! Now it’s Stratton who is escorted backstage while Charlotte is held back at ringside.

Drew McIntyre stars in a video. The Scot delivers a promo where he recalls all the traps he’s fallen into and how Damian Priest has benefited from them. Even after losing the World Championship, Priest has done nothing but hinder him, preventing him from securing a ticket to WrestleMania 41. “You wanted my attention? Well, you’ve got it,” says Drew before promising the Puerto Rican that he will never take another opportunity from him again. This is no longer about titles; it’s about ending Damian once and for all.

The Miz makes his entrance into the ring. Meanwhile, Charlotte and Stratton reignite their brawl at the top of the stands. Security can barely contain them. Tiffany climbs to the top of the entrance and dives with a Swanton Bomb. Stratton finally retreats backstage while a furious Flair watches her from the ground.

The Miz takes the mic to welcome us to “Miz TV.” Mizanin introduces tonight’s guest, the man who was attacked by two rappers (Travis Scott and John Cena) at Elimination Chamber, the man who rejected The Rock’s offer, the man who will not emerge victorious at WrestleMania: Cody Rhodes.

“The American Nightmare” is greeted by the crowd, who sing along to his entrance theme. Rhodes greets the front-row fans before stepping into the ring. The Miz interrupts the entrance, stating that he doesn’t have time to listen to Cody’s song. Furious, Cody hits The Miz with a Cross Rhodes. Cody grabs the mic to make it clear that he doesn’t want to talk to anyone except John Cena. Rhodes reminds everyone that he will be on Raw next Monday, where he challenges the 16-time world champion to meet him. Rhodes’ theme music plays again to bring the segment to a close.

Earlier, Nick Aldis was speaking with Shinsuke Nakamura backstage. The Japanese star wanted a rematch for the United States Championship. Damian Priest appeared on the scene to ask the General Manager where Drew McIntyre was. Aldis replied that he didn’t know. Nakamura gave his opinion in Japanese, which annoyed Priest. “I’m looking for a fight. I’m going to beat you up,” he said in Spanish. Damian asked Nick to grant him a match against Shinsuke, and the General Manager agreed.

We see a teaser for an upcoming WWE debut.

Drew obeys but quickly returns when he sees Priest getting back into the ring. McIntyre executes a Claymore on Damian. Drew yells at the Puerto Rican, promising to make his life a living hell. McIntyre kicks Damian’s head hard before heading backstage.

Cathy Kelley interviews #DIY backstage. Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano claim that SmackDown has the best tag team division in WWE because they have pushed the rest of the teams. Motor City Machine Guns appear on the scene to remind the WWE Tag Team Champions that they will be waiting for them once they’re done with The Street Profits. Ciampa and Gargano leave to end the segment.

We see Lamine Yamal, a player for F.C. Barcelona, in the front row.

Zelina leaves, but not before assuring that next week the United States Championship will be hers.

Randy Orton makes his entrance. The fans greet him by chanting his theme music. Randy shakes hands with a little girl in the front row before entering the ring. Carmelo Hayes is the next to appear.

A mysterious “4” appears in a teaser.

Gunther appears on the scene. Microphone in hand, “The Ring General” states that he should be in Barcelona as the best European wrestler in the world. Unfortunately, he would have preferred to do it in Madrid. Gunther scolds the fans for supporting Jey Uso, assuring them that once the bell rings, he will finish him off. Gunther points out that tonight he will prove that the best Spanish wrestler, Axiom, is also not on his level. Axiom makes his entrance!

Paul Heyman makes his entrance into the ring. “The Wiseman” announces that today is “Roman Reigns Day,” as today marks the official launch of WWE 2K25. Heyman hopes that fans will wait until tonight’s show is over to play the game, as it’s necessary for the TV ratings to remain high.

Heyman assures everyone that today is not CM Punk’s day, and certainly not “Seth Rollins’” day. The fans chant Rollins’ theme song. Paul confesses that he hates that song. Paul announces that Reigns will be in Bologna, Italy, next week. The crowd boos. Paul advises them to buy a plane ticket to Italy and personally express their respect for “The Tribal Chief.” Paul throws the microphone to end his promo.

Gunther approaches Jimmy Uso backstage. The Austrian believes that Jimmy is more mature than his brother Jey, so he suggests that Jimmy talk to him and convince him to make the best decision, which is to back down from his idea of facing him at WrestleMania. Jimmy insists that his brother will end him at the grand event. Gunther laments hearing that, stating that he was wrong to think Jimmy was a mature man.
